If the full-time option hasn’t panned out, what about a part-time MBA?

March 7, 2023 by EssaySnark 2 Comments

A part-time MBA is not even feasible for everyone — what if you don’t live near a school that offers a part-time program, what if your job security is shaky and you are not sure you’ll be employed, which is a requirement of many P/T programs. There are also more and more online part-time programs […]

($) Positives about lower-ranked programs

December 6, 2022 by EssaySnark

We sometimes mention the strategic importance of considering a lower-tier program. We’re glad that so many BSers are going about this realistically – if you have a significant glitch in your profile, then of course you want to be trying for the best schools that your heart is set on, but at the same time...

“School rankings are stupid” post #28529

November 30, 2022 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

In case you’re not also following the law school admissions world (which most of you probably are not, and honestly, you maybe shouldn’t even be following the bschool admissions world as closely as you are, if it’s causing you too much stress), you may have missed the recent announcement by Yale Law School that they’re […]

($) How MBA admissions works at lower-ranked bschools (aka, the advantages of a higher GMAT score)

October 27, 2022 by EssaySnark

The definition of “lower ranked school” definitely depends on your perspective. We tend to focus on the Top 20 business schools here on the blahg (or, because we’re the always contrarian EssaySnark, Top 19). Some have the opinion that Cornell or UCLA are “lower ranked”. We would say that they are mistaken, but as we...

($) We know YOU won’t make these basic interview mistakes.

February 3, 2022 by EssaySnark

Some time back we captured this list of complaints from employers who recruit at an American bschool. These on-campus recruiters submitted these comments as feedback about the school’s students who had interviewed with them. It was pretty fascinating: Premium content starts here… ———–   ———– Premium content ends.   We have a bunch of posts...

($) Can you make too much money to get into an MBA program?

December 6, 2021 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

One of the points we offered in our post about MBA recruiting a few months ago was about how much money you made pre-MBA. This relates to a question we got some time back, that some others of you may be interested in learning about too: Hello! I’ve been wondering why schools ask for salary […]

($) Explaining Early Action, Early Decision, Early Admissions, and all these confusing options

July 1, 2021 by EssaySnark - Discusses Darden, Columbia, Duke Fuqua Leave a Comment

Let’s take care of the easy one first: “Early Admissions.” As usual, MIT has to be unique: The MIT Sloan “Early Admissions” application option is for college students who are looking to apply to an MBA program while they’re still in school. It is the same as what other MBA programs might called “Deferred Admission” […]

($) Should you get a graduate certificate?

May 10, 2021 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

A trend that was already well underway before the pandemic upending higher ed was the proliferation of certificates. You can now get a Master’s degree in a whole bunch of different flavors of business-related topics, and there’s a veritable explosion of availability of certificates. Certificates are offered by many top universities, and they are mostly […]
