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. You can subscribe to Clear Admit’s YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@ClearAdmitMBA Later in September, Clear Admit will also host several more webinar events featuring admissions professionals from all the top MBA programs. Signups for those events are here: https://www.clearadmit.com/events
Graham highlighted a recently published resource that covers all the 2026 Early and Round 1 deadlines for top MBA programs. On September 9, several programs, including Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, and Columbia have their first-round deadlines.
Clear Admit continues its Adcom Q&A series. This week Graham notes a Q&A with Chicago / Booth. Graham also highlighted several podcast Q&As that are being released, regularly.
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 first MBA admissions candidate is from India and has a 332 GRE score. They are concerned that they have not worked for more traditional big brand businesses.
This week’s second MBA applicant has a liberal arts degree and makes no mention of a standardized test. We really encourage them to take the GMAT or GRE.
332 GRE, from India
