($) 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 […]

($) essay critique! Yale Silver Scholars – graduating college senior MBA application

April 23, 2021 by EssaySnark - Discusses Yale SOM Leave a Comment

Essays reviews? In April?!? This is not usually the time when Snarkville is hopping with essay-writing and application-finalizing stress-monsters (aka, applicants to bschool). Most of the stress we see at this time of year is from the waitlisted woes and the can’t-decide-which-school-to-attend people at the latter stage of the admissions process. However, every now and […]

Some cool schools give feedback

March 25, 2021 by EssaySnark - Discusses Darden, Dartmouth Tuck, Yale SOM, HEC Paris Leave a Comment

Dang. You didn’t make it in. 🙁 BUT WHY??? Most schools are explicit with a no-feedback policy. All decisions are final, and they’re unable to talk to you about it because they don’t have the bandwidth to field all of those calls. But some schools are much more generous with their time and attention and […]

Education is changing – especially the MBA

February 1, 2021 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

It’s true that an in-person classroom experience has value — but remote learning does have its advantages. Given how much all the business schools have now invested into online offerings over the course of the past year, you just know that they’re going to be embracing this even more as the future unfolds. Presumably all […]

($) Applying to The Kennedy School MPP/MBA

October 20, 2020 by EssaySnark - Discusses HKS Leave a Comment

In this year of change and societal upheaval, one school that’s seeing increased interest from graduate applicants is Harvard Kennedy School. HKS is known as a government and policy program, which has degrees which are sort of like the MBA, but in some ways, even more flexible. A wide variety of employers come recruiting at […]

($) International applicants: Should you even be focusing on USA for your MBA?

June 25, 2020 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

tl;dr: Yes but.             Big sigh. It seems like every day there’s more bad news coming out of the US. This country has not been made great over the last four years. If anything, the opposite is happening. 🙁 We could rant for days on social issues, but in the […]
