Planning on applying to business school this year? (“Um, yeah, EssaySnark, why in heck do you think I’m here?”)

Great!

Don’t know where to start – or worried that you’re a procrastinator who might slough off and not get the important things done on time?

Or perhaps maybe you simply don’t know what those important things are?

EssaySnark can help!

The MBA Countdown is a guided weekly tour of the requirements and necessities for getting your MBA applications done.

And guess what?

SIGN-UPS ARE OPEN BECAUSE YOUR MBA APPLICATION PROJECT LAUNCHES THIS MONTH!

Kickoff for the 2019 Round 1 MBA Countdown is Monday, May 27th. That’s the day that the first MBA project planning email will go out to all registered Countdown peeps. That’s Memorial Day here in the U.S., too — we consider that as the unofficial start to the new admissions season! Why? Because it’s 15 weeks out from when we expect Harvard’s Round 1 deadline to be.

You don’t have to be applying to Harvard to do the Countdown, we just gear it around them since it’s typically the earliest due date for the traditional Round 1 schools.

The Countdown also includes a three-month membership to the EssaySnark blahg – which normally would cost almost as much as we’re charging for The Countdown itself! Talk about a screaming deal!

And, when you sign up now, you’ll get access to a MBA Application Project Plan that EssaySnark has built out for applicants in your shoes. You don’t have to wait for May 27th to get started.

You can read all about The Countdown here or go straight to sign-up here.

Sign up at any time, now through like July, and benefit from our guided tour of weekly posts telling you what to work on (signing up at the beginning is obviously advantageous since then you get the whole shebang of it, every single week’s worth of to-do goodness!).

Questions? Lay them on us in the Comments – or just read up on what The Countdown is and see if it’s something that can help you.

We’ve been getting lots of updates about interview invitations (yay!) and so we’re bummed to have to make this announcement, but unfortunately our service provider that runs our fancy schmancy automated interview prep service is pulling the plug on their architecture. We are not in a position to port the functionality to some other provider, and so we’re choosing to shut the puppy down completely. 🙁 The Automated Interview Prep will be available through the end of this month (October 2018) and then it’s going away.

This affects only this one service — Automated Interview Prep — which is a service where you call in and go through your interview via personalized teleprompts, you know, the voice-activated kind. The interview is recorded and then you get an assessment from EssaySnark on how you did. We’ll continue to offer the also-popular Customized MBA Interview Prep Questions which gives you a full list of questions specific to your actual profile and app with which to prepare. Those customized questions are usually best for those doing an open interview with HBS, MIT, NYU or LBS but BSers interviewing at other schools who interview blind might also find it useful.

We’ve always been proud of this little techie thingamajig interview prep service that we offered and it’s too bad that it’s going away. If you want to get a personalized review of how you perform with both content of interview answers and delivery, then grab this service while you can AW SNAP TOO LATE 🙁
