Say you’re walking down the hall at your office, on your way to a meeting. Maybe you’re running a tiny bit late, and you’re juggling an armful of file folders and notepads, with your coffee in the other hand hoping not to spill. You turn the corner and there in the middle of the carpet […]

Black History Month

February 28, 2022 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

Posting about Black History Month on the first day of February feels a bit performative. It’s what the big corporations do. It’s when most universities send out their marketing emails themed around their alumni of color. Posting on the last day of February isn’t any better, but we did want to recognize Black History Month […]

If you applied in Round 2…

January 25, 2022 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

…should you be panicking yet if you haven’t been invited to interview???   Well, if you LIKE panicking — if it’s something you ENJOY — then go to town! But we advise against it! There really isn’t any reason for panicking just yet. Yes a lot of schools are issuing interview invites, and yes if […]

This might be where that sucky situation starts to materialize for some of you… :-(

November 22, 2021 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

If you’ve been following the blahg since the summer, you may recall a post we wrote titled One of the most under-recognized challenges in the entire process of applying to business school.

September 13, 2021 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

We had a snarky blurb of a post up since Friday and we figured, hey, no need to be snarky! Because we know a lot of you are not quite where you wanted to be. Did you not manage to submit the apps you had planned to for Round 1? (Round 1 totally isn’t over, […]

Do you work best under deadline?

July 2, 2021 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

This is for the procrastinators among you. The ones who claim that working under pressure is a good thing. Who believe that their best work comes when they’re faced with an immovable deadline. Our question to you today is: Really??? Let’s look at some evidence, shall we? Here’s what we shall offer: If you know […]

Another quick authenticity post

June 10, 2021 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

This was probably funnier pre-pandemic but whatever. As a follow-up to the discussion we offered last week, that you as an applicant is not the same as you as a person, today we’ll provide this: The connections may not be obvious to everyone… Admittedly, this could be a stretch, and not immediately make sense as […]

Things were supposed to be different.

April 13, 2021 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

After all the protests, All the social media posts, All the banners emblazoned across the big-corp websites claiming that Black Lives Matter. All the hand-wringing and proclamations and statements of solidarity. Nothing has changed. Daunte Wright lost his life the same exact way that Oscar Grant did way back in 2009: It was a gun, […]

April 12, 2021 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

diagram of how to sit with discomfort

Different work environments, and individual managerial styles from different managers, totally impact the experience of receiving feedback.

Right about this time last year, there was an incident in Central Park in New York City. A white woman was out with her dog, in a part of the park that’s specifically designated as a bird watching zone. She was letting her dog run around off leash when they came upon a man who […]
