In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began with a wonderful review of the podcast, from an industry professional! Graham highlighted Clear Admit’s ongoing summer series of webinars, which focuses on top MBA programs’ admissions essays, and is attended by more than 20 of the top MBA programs. The final event is on Wednesday of this week, and includes CMU / Tepper, Chicago / Booth, MIT / Sloan, Texas / McCombs and UVA / Darden.

This event will also feature admissions coaches from Leland. Graham then noted two news events from this week. INSEAD is extending their final deadline for their January intake; we assume this might be related to uncertainty for some international students who were targeting the United States. Our Fridays from the Frontlines series features a Duke / Fuqua student with an interview on quantum computing. Graham also highlighted an admissions tip, as part of our MBA Myth Busters series: Adcoms are impressed by jargon and other fancy language in essays and interviews. We continue our series of Adcom Q&As, this week we have a Q&A from Shelly Heinrich at SMU / Cox. Finally, Graham highlighted a recently published podcast that focuses on the contents of essays and interviews and candidates’ goals. This is a recording from a panel discussion from our summer event in Boston, and includes representatives from Berkeley / Haas, Duke / Fuqua, Harvard Business School and Indiana / Kelley. 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 655 GMAT, and a 9.1 GPA (on a scale of 10).  They are a Bain consultant from India. This week’s second MBA candidate has a 332 GRE score and is also a consultant. They are a first-generation immigrant from South America. The final MBA candidate also has a 655 GMAT, which they are planning to retake. They are targeting Harvard, Stanford and Wharton. We think they should consider a few more top MBA programs. This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA.
