Weekly Roundup for Clear Admit’s MBA Podcast
In this week’s MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the current state of the MBA admissions season. We are continuing to see a few MBA programs release their final decisions, and candidates reporting their admissions from waitlists. We anticipate more waitlist movement in the weeks ahead.
Graham noted that Clear Admit is planning its MBA Essay Workshop events series that is scheduled for July. These events will bring together the majority of the top MBA programs to discuss both their written essay prompts as well as their video essays. Early signups are here: https://www.clearadmit.com/events
Graham highlighted a Fridays from the Frontline feature from a Haas student who discusses their recently launched AI Activation Playbook concept. Graham also noted a new admissions tip which focuses on identifying the right MBA programs to target. This led to a discussion on the Admissions Academy series, as well as the usefulness of the Clear Admit admissions bot, for helping identify MBA programs based on a candidate’s resume.
Graham continued with the Real Humans Alumni series. This week focuses on three alumni: from Johnson / BCG, Fuqua / JP Morgan and Kellogg / Bain.
For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected two ApplyWire entries and one DecisionWire entry.
Three MBA Admissions Candidates Reviewed
This week’s first MBA admissions candidate has a GRE of 335, and a strong career record in real estate. We think they should aim high.
This week’s second MBA applicant has a strong GPA of 8.65, from India. They work in consulting. We would like them to develop a more robust long-term goal.
This week’s final MBA candidate is deciding between Johnson and Stern. They want investment banking in New York City.
