Happy Groundhog Day, Brave Supplicant! To continue with our Round 3 Reality Check series, today we’ll talk about programs that might be in range for an admit even at this stage of the season. In case you missed them: What about Round 3? To Round 3 or not to Round 3 Who / what situations […]
Continue reading...What do you do if you missed Round 2 AND YOU STILL WANT TO APPLY SOMEWHERE NOW?
Hey BSers! We’re reblahgging this from 2015 because dang, that was three years ago, and this info is timely for where some of you are at today!!! Recently we gave a whole assortment of ideas for what to do if you didn’t apply to bschool yet this season. [2015 post] And yes, we realize […]
Continue reading...($) We know YOU won’t make these basic interview mistakes.
We recently happened upon a 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: Company recruiters are asked to fill out evaluations on the students that they interview on campus. The following...

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

By request: Our thoughts on Arizona State
We received a request for our opinion on ASU in this former BSer’s Success Story and so today we are circling back as promised. Arizona State is home to the WP Carey School of Business – which is unfortunately not the only bschool named “Carey.” Johns Hopkins also has a “Carey Business School” sometimes known […]
Continue reading...The value of a lower-ranked bschool.
Yesterday we posted a question that was asked by a Brave Supplicant who had been accepted to a school we don’t frequently mention. What we specifically said to this BSer was: The blahg focuses primarily on the competitive top MBA programs and so no, we don’t discuss [School 3] all that often (every client we’ve […]
Continue reading...($) “Why don’t you ever talk about my school?”
In Round 2 we worked with a Brave Supplicant who had executed on a well-rounded strategy, with a small handful of three applications so that they could focus and do the work needed to produce a quality job on each (and also because there wasn’t much time from when they began), with one stretch school,...

($) Well-known schools with MBA programs you can actually get into (even with your shaky GMAT)
If one of your priorities in choosing an MBA program is making sure that the school’s reputation will help you in your future career in your distant home country, then this post is for you. Or more precisely, this post is for you if you are coming to terms with the fact that the “best”...

($) If your GMAT was over 730 and you didn’t make it into a school like Emory…
A high GMAT alone will never be enough to get you into any good bschool. However, the further down the rankings you go, the more attractive a high GMAT becomes to the adcoms. This is due to the pure economics of the situation: The higher a school’s average GMAT, then the better its chances of...

($) Positives about lower-ranked programs
We’ve been talking a bit lately about things to consider when 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 you should definitely be trying for the best, but at the same time you need to mitigate the...
