MBA Wire Taps 535: German, Rowed the Atlantic. Ghanaian, 334 GRE

Weekly Roundup for Clear Admit’s MBA Podcast

In this week’s MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing upcoming MBA admissions deadlines. For this upcoming week, Washington / Olin and Imperial Business School are scheduled to release admissions decisions.

Graham called out the Clear Admit fall survey, where we are seeking MBA applicants to respond to questions related to their application journey. The survey is here: https://bit.ly/decisionmba

Graham then highlighted several upcoming Clear Admit webinar events. They feature Wharton’s Lauder Program, Vanderbilt Business, NYU Stern, and Harvard Business School.  Signups for all these events are here: https://www.clearadmit.com/events

Graham also noted an admissions tip that Clear Admit recently published focused on what candidates should do, post interview.

We discussed the MBA Class of 2028 profile for Dartmouth / Tuck. While Tuck received fewer applications this year – following a couple of banner years – the class statistics look very strong. Also of note: 59% of their test takers took the GRE test.

Clear Admit continues its Real Humans series which focuses on current students at top MBA programs. This week we profile MBA students from London Business School.

For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected two ApplyWire entries.
