Weekly Roundup for Clear Admit’s MBA Podcast
In this week’s MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing some of the recent activity on LiveWire; we followed this by highlighting a new article published by Clear Admit that summarizes the current situation for international students seeking visas to study in the United States.
Graham noted Clear Admit’s summer series of webinars, which focuses on top MBA programs’ admissions essays, which will be attended by more than 20 of the top MBA programs. The second event is on Wednesday of this week, and includes Georgetown / McDonough, Michigan / Ross, UNC / Kenan Flagler, Vanderbilt / Owen and Yale SOM. Signups are here: https://bit.ly/mbaessay0725
Graham then noted four admissions tips; the first focuses on the importance and value of volunteering; the next three, part of Clear Admit’s “Myth Busters” series, discuss whether only the very top MBA programs (M7) will help you succeed, whether being honest means you need to share all your weaknesses, and the desire for applicants to seek out what admissions officers want to hear.
We continue our series of Adcom Q&As, which is a yearly series where we interview the admissions leaders at all the top MBA programs; this week we have Q&As from Emory / Goizueta, Chicago / Booth and Duke / Fuqua.
Finally, Graham highlighted a recently published podcast, the MBA Decoded. This is a recording from a panel discussion from our MBA Fair event in Boston.
For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected three ApplyWire entries.
