MBA Wire Taps 484: Wharton versus Tuck. Kellogg versus Wharton. Johnson versus Stern

In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the current state of the MBA admissions season. We are continuing to see MBA programs release their final decisions. This upcoming week, Duke / Fuqua, SMU / Cox and Arizona / Carey are releasing final decisions. MBA programs are also continuing to their next admissions rounds, including MIT / Sloan, Stanford and UCLA / Anderson. Graham highlighted the Spring MBA applicant survey that Clear Admit is conducting. You can access the survey here: https://bit.ly/surveymba26 Graham then noted upcoming Clear Admit events. On May 11, Clear Admit is hosting our in-person admissions event in Atlanta. Most top MBA programs are scheduled to attend. We are also hosting several Application overview events in May, on May 19 and 20, and May 26 and 27. Signups for these events are here: https://www.clearadmit.com/events Graham then highlighted two MBA admissions tips that focus on negotiating scholarships and the reapplication process. Finally, Graham continued with the Real Humans Alumni series. This week focuses on three alumni from Kelley / BCG, Judge / Bain and HBS / Amazon. For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected three DecisionWire entries: This week’s first MBA admissions candidate is planning a pivot into consulting. They have several offers from M7 programs and offers from top 16 programs with scholarship. Looks like it might be Tuck versus Wharton. This week’s second MBA applicant is deciding between Kellogg with a generous scholarship and Wharton. They are pursuing brand management. This week’s final MBA candidate wants to pursue investment banking in New York. They currently have a generous offer from Johnson and are waiting to hear from Stern. This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA.
