This week, Graham and Alex tackle a variety of topics, from their meetup in London for a top-secret project to all the latest in MBA admissions news. Graham called attention to Clear Admit’s incentive program for top contributors on the platform and a survey we now have in the field and would really love you to complete; you can access it here: https://bit.ly/casurvey2022 (Amazon gift cards are available for some survey respondents). Graham also highlighted Real Humans Alumni pieces, including a Stanford graduate who works for Apple, a Northwestern / Kellogg graduate at Apollo Investment Corp. and a UPenn / Wharton graduate now at Bank of America.
For the WireTaps portion of the show, we tackled two ApplyWire entries and a DecisionWire entry.
First up, Alex selects a non-traditional candidate who appears to have done some very interesting things, and should be targeting top programs. Their challenge will be to show fit, as well as explain some of their experiences and goals. The second candidate on this episode is at the opposite end of the spectrum; they are from the “ORM” pool, an over-represented candidate. That said, they are equally impressive and will simply need to target the first rounds to maximize their opportunities. Finally, from DecisionWire, this week’s final candidate is deciding between Darden (no money), Kenan Flagler, McCombs and Simon (all with financial awards). They are looking at consulting and tech. Their decision appears to boil down to their appetite for taking on debt, as well as their geographic preference, post MBA.
