Graham noted a Clear Admit article from the Friday’s-from-the-Frontline series from an LBS MBA student, discussing the EQUALL conference, which is focused on gender equality. Graham also noted a recently published admissions tip that focuses on how to negotiate scholarships with business schools.
Graham highlighted three Real Humans alumni spotlights, alums from UPenn / Wharton working at Pfizer, Ohio State / Fisher working at Deloitte, and Chicago / Booth working at Nike.
For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected one ApplyWire entry and two DecisionWire entries.
