Weekly Roundup for Clear Admit’s MBA Podcast
In this week’s MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the upcoming events Clear Admit is hosting. We plan to do a livestream event on Tuesday, September 1, ahead of the Round 1 deadlines. This event is for participants to ask any questions they have for their Round 1 strategy. Graham and Alex will be hosting, as usual. We hope to roll out these livestream events on a monthly schedule. Later in September, Clear Admit will also host several more webinar events featuring admissions professionals from the top MBA programs. Signups for those events are here: https://www.clearadmit.com/events
Graham highlighted a recently published article that focuses on Chicago / Booth’s new research center for supply chain and applied technologies. Graham also noted an admissions tip detailing how to identify and prepare recommenders for the MBA admissions process.
Clear Admit continues its Adcom Q&A series. This week Graham notes a written and a podcast Q&A from Berkeley / Haas.
For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected two ApplyWire entries.
Two MBA Admissions Candidates Reviewed

This week’s second MBA applicant is seeking to pivot away from the Oil and Gas sector. They are from Pakistan and have more than 11 years of experience.
