Tales from the Trenches! A belated Success Story, with important advice to BSers who are headed to school this Fall.

February 26, 2016 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

In a mini-chastisement blahg post back in January, we tsk-tsked over those long-forgotten BSers who said they’d send us a little something to capture their trials and tribulations of applying to bschool, and then never did. We laid out several instances of ghosting that we were on the receiving end of. Well lo and behold! […]

($) Stanford Admissions gives older BSer the best option in the world.

September 10, 2015 by EssaySnark - Discusses Stanford GSB

When Brave Supplicants create their applications to Stanford Business School, they’ve been faced with an interesting question: Not only does the system prompt them to choose which program they’re applying to, like every other schools’ system does (MBA/EMBA/whatever, which round) – but it also asks if they want to apply to multiple programs simultaneously. Say...

What if you work for a no-name company? Can you still get in to bschool?

May 26, 2015 by EssaySnark - Discusses Emory 2 Comments

We’ve told you before that in terms of getting into bschool, it does not matter if you don’t have a name like Deloitte or Tata or whatever impressive-sounding corporation you can think of on your resume already. We covered this in a “3 Myths” post back in 2013 and then expanded on it more fully […]

Success Story! The roundabout route – the finale!

December 27, 2013 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

And how we hear what happened to the BSer who asked us for help on some essays way back in December 2011, then got waitlisted at Columbia, then got a new job, then was considering a part-time program… Read the whole saga starting from Part 1 or review Part 2. Fast forward one year to […]

($) The CFA could give you a headstart.

October 10, 2013 by EssaySnark - Discusses Kellogg, Cornell Johnson

We did a series of blahg posts awhile back on applying for an MBA with the CFA in hand. We mentioned that adcoms look favorably on the CFA since it shows that you’re willing to work hard for something – plus, it is evidence of a strong knowledgebase in a specialized subject. As a charterholder,...

($) “Is a 2-year MBA better than 1-year for someone from IT?”

May 7, 2013 by EssaySnark

Since there’s a lot of IT types interested in an MBA, we’re going to circle back to a question that came up on a post a month ago.  Recently we talked about the MBA for people from a tech background, and we went on and on about stuff without actually answering the question. So let’s...

Application stats for Kellogg

First of all, if you’ve been rejected by any of your target schools, then we commiserate. It sucks. We know that it can be a real blow. If you tried for Kellogg and you have your heart set on them and them only, then there’s an alternate track you may want to consider. No, we’re...

One big thing you miss out on with a 1-year MBA

December 6, 2012 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

We started talking recently about the one-year MBA variation that is being offered at more schools these days. As we said before, with this program format, you often get an abbreviated core curriculum to cover the basic MBA stuff like accounting and finance, and then they set you loose to the electives. Here’s a news […]

Pros and cons of a 1-year MBA

December 4, 2012 by EssaySnark

If you want to get an MBA, there’s certainly a lot to like about a 1-year option – mostly, the fact that it’s over in one year. If you’re not a huge fan of going to school and studying and, like, learning stuff, then this is indeed a pretty big selling point. Plus there’s the...

One-year MBA options

April 25, 2012 by EssaySnark - Discusses Cornell Johnson, ISB, LBS, Kellogg, INSEAD, Columbia 2 Comments

Recently we talked about the Kellogg 1Y program – but we didn’t exactly explain what it is. So here’s some backstory to fill in the gaps, in case we piqued your interest in this quick-I-want-to-be-done-with-it MBA option. First though, let’s start with the basics. The Kellogg two-year MBA is the standard full-time MBA degree that […]
