Three Reasons to Apply to MBA Programs in Round 3

As we move through March, the Round 3 deadlines of leading MBA Programs are drawing near. Conventional wisdom in the MBA admissions world suggests it’s best to avoid the final rounds when applying to top business schools, but sometimes circumstances dictate otherwise.

As such, several top programs will likely Read more

Women still only account for a third of the students accepted into the top 100 MBA programs, the same as it was five years ago. And there’s another issue as well: cost. Women, on average, earn around 91 percent of their Read more
