Weekly Roundup for Clear Admit’s MBA Podcast
In this week’s MBA Admissions podcast we kicked off the show by celebrating the 500th episode of this podcast series, which began in March 2018. Through the series we have profiled more than 1,000 MBA candidates, and the series has received over 400,000 listens.
For upcoming events, Clear Admit is hosting a special webinar event for international students, scheduled for this Wednesday, July 16, at 10AM Central European time. This webinar explores the value of a U.S.-based MBA for international students, as well as the logistics of moving to the United States. The Clear Admit’s MBA Essay Workshop series is also scheduled for July 21, 22 and 23, and July 28 and 29. These events will bring together an increasing number of the top MBA programs to discuss both their written essay prompts as well as their video essays.

Graham highlighted a new £25 million gift received by London Business School, which will be used to help bolster their scholarship offerings. Graham also discussed three articles Clear Admit published last week, all focused on better understanding the value of the MBA.
Clear Admit continues its Adcom Q&A series. This week Graham noted Q&As from Duke / Fuqua and IESE.
Finally, Graham concluded the Real Humans Alumni series. This week focuses on an alumnus from London Business School, working at Bain.
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 South America and has a 332 GRE score. They appear to have strong family-business experience. We hope there is clarity around their post-MBA goals.
This week’s second MBA applicant is from India and is a chemical engineer. They have a 665 GMAT score. We wonder if there is an advantage to retaking the test.
South American, 332 GRE
Indian, 665 GMAT
