MBA Admissions Podcast: U.S. Election Impact, Deferred MBA Webinars, and Candidate Profiles

In this week's MBA Admissions podcast, we explore the potential impacts of a new Trump administration on business schools and discuss upcoming opportunities for prospective MBA candidates. Graham highlights the continuing webinar series for deferred admissions candidates, with Berkeley/Haas, CMU/Tepper, UVA/Darden, and Stanford scheduled for November 13. He also mentions the upcoming Masters in Management webinar series starting December 3.
We delve into a recent Forte Foundation report showcasing the MBA industry's progress towards gender parity. Additionally, Graham shares three valuable admissions tips:
-Questions to ask your interviewer
-The importance of thank you notes
-Common admissions mistakes to avoid
We highlight the upcoming Round 1 decision releases for Michigan State/Broad, INSEAD, Minnesota/Carlson, and Ohio State/Fisher.
For candidate profile reviews, Alex evaluates three ApplyWire entries:
-South Asian Candidate: With a 720 GMAT score but a low GPA, this applicant's interesting work experience and extracurricular activities may help overcome academic concerns.
-Military Candidate: Boasting a high GPA from a military academy, this applicant's lower GRE score may not accurately reflect their overall strong profile.
-High Achiever: With a 331 GRE score, 3.98 GPA, and impressive work and extracurricular experiences, this candidate is well-positioned for top MBA programs.
