In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the current state of the MBA admissions season, a few interview invites continue to roll out. This upcoming week, IESE and London Business School are scheduled to release their Round 1 decisions.

Graham highlighted the upcoming Masters in Management (MiM) webinar series, scheduled for December 2 and 3. Signups for these events are here, https://www.clearadmit.com/events The next livestream AMA is scheduled for this Tuesday, November 25; here’s the link to Clear Admit’s YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/cayoutubelive.

Graham noted a recently published article on AI instruction in top MBA programs. This is clearly an important and evolving area. Graham also highlighted a Fridays from the Frontline article featuring two ex-military students at NYU / Stern, and an article focused on consulting placements at top MBA programs. He then covered two admissions tips recently published by Clear Admit. The first focuses on creating the MBA resume, and the second focuses on how to select recommendation writers for business school applications.

Graham highlighted two Real Humans pieces spotlighting students from Northwestern / Kellogg and Vanderbilt / Owen, and then we discussed the recently published Class of 2027 profile from Columbia Business School.

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

This week’s first MBA admissions candidate has a strong overall profile in the environmentally sustainable space. They have a 332 GRE and a 3.44 GPA. We discussed whether the GPA would be a liability.

This week’s second MBA applicant has a 740 GMAT but a 3.15 GPA. They applied to 15 programs in Round 1 and have received several interview invites.

This week’s final MBA candidate is from Portugal and has a strong GPA. They worry that their 645 GMAT might limit some of their opportunities.
