($) Deciding on a school: Two good schools, both offering $$

April 12, 2022 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

If you’ve been coming around Snarkville for any period of time, you probably know that we tend to emphasize school fit as a critical factor in MBA admissions — both in getting in, and then in figuring out which admit you want to take. What if you get into two amazing brand-name bschools, one offering […]

($) The BSer’s Dilemma: Deciding between two highly-ranked MBA programs

April 4, 2022 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

You got into one really good school, and, dang, who woulda thought, you managed to also get into another! Or maybe even more than just two! So this isn’t like meeting someone on a reality TV show and saying you’ll marry them in five weeks*… and then deciding whether you are really going to go […]

Choosing between bschools

March 31, 2022 by EssaySnark

First of all: CONGRATULATIONS IF YOU’VE RECENTLY BEEN ACCEPTED TO BSCHOOL!!! And good luck if you’re still in the limbo of waiting! It’s perhaps the hardest part of this entire process. We’re seeing a lot of posts on the bschool forums from BSers who’ve been admitted to multiple places and are now facing the agony...

March 29, 2022 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

So you decided for whatever reason has come up in your life that you are going to ask to defer your MBA start till next year. You read our recent post and you know that most schools don’t often grant them, but you really feel that you need to fully explore your options and it’s […]

($) “I’ve been admitted to bschool! Now can I get a deferral?”

March 25, 2022 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

You did it. You took the GMAT. You sweated through the essays. You corraled your recommenders together and got those apps done. Then lo and behold, you were invited to interview, and now, many months after you started this whole applying-to-bschool rigamarole, you’ve found out you’ve been accepted. Whoopie! But…. Now that you’ve actually got […]

($) School X or School Y?!?? More advice for navigating decisions between competing MBA offers

February 8, 2022 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

We had a Brave Supplicant come to us recently who was really struggling with the decision on which school’s offer to accept. We have a whole section of the ‘snarchive dedicated to this question of “deciding on a school”, so you can take a look through those posts if you’re also in this boat. And […]

($) “What if School D gave me money but I really want to go to School A?”

January 27, 2022 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

This happens a lot. You got into a couple schools (YAY! 🙂 ). One of them offered a chunk of change in addition to the admit (SUPER YAY! 😀 ). But you really prefer one of your other schools that didn’t offer you squat (NOT YAY. 🙁 ). Sometimes the money makes a difference. Premium […]

May 6, 2021 by EssaySnark

We’re reblahgging this from 2015 – yikes! This situation has the same answer today, but we are taking this opportunity to change how we say it. This is admittedly a rare situation but those are fun to talk about sometimes, too. We had a BSer who went through the whole process and got accepted at...

($) What about asking for a deferral?

April 6, 2021 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

Last year around this time, something totally unusual happened: A few schools started opening the door to the possibility of granting deferrals. What about now? Premium content starts here… ———–   ———– Premium content ends.   Lots of important decisions involved, and some of them are really not easy! Let us know if possibly we […]
