Yesterday we went reminiscing about what last year’s admissions season was looking like in mid-October of 2019. You may have read that and thought, “Who cares!??” If you did, thank you for humoring us anyway. Yesterday’s post sets up today’s: What are the trends and expectations that we are perceiving NOW, for the CURRENT admissions […]

We started to talk recently about how the changing world may be changing priorities among business school students and all that is admittedly speculative, and also, such changes take awhile to be perceived in actual data. In the category of not sure I want to focus on this because there’s nothing I can do about […]
Continue reading...($) The world is changing. Here are the business schools we’d be considering if we were applying to start an MBA in 2021.
There are lots of factors that go into choosing which schools to apply to. We’re not in the business of dictating priorities to anyone. However, if EssaySnark were applying to bschool this year, these are the trends in the world that we’d be paying attention to, resulting in this list of schools we’d be targeting, […]

It’s safe to say that we are in the midst of massive change in our world. The death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Friday only reinforces that reality — the reality that EVERYTHING is being reshaped and reformed. That’s why everyone is so stressed out right now — that, and the massive uncertainty, where we […]

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 […]
Continue reading...Not done yet: More on microaggressions
Did you catch our post from Friday? You’ll need to read that one to understand today’s. The “woman in the hallway” story from Friday is an example of a microaggression because of the assumptions made about the woman. An interesting question for you to ask yourself: Did you assume that it was a White woman […]
Continue reading...Is this change for real this time?
There’s a criticism going around social media directed at these suddenly woke white folks accusing them of only NOW recognizing that Blacks and other non-white minorities have been dealing with racism since forever. Because suddenly it’s trendy or cool to be all #BLM, but it’s not legit. It’s just because other people are doing it […]
Continue reading...Are you ready to change the world?
The world needs you. Maybe it needs you to become a consultant. That’s still a totally viable career path for you and we’re not trying to convince you that getting an MBA to go do that is a bad idea or that it’s somehow morally wrong to continue working to make that happen. But, at […]
Continue reading...What needs to change for diversity and inclusion and a just society?
White people. White people need to change. This post is late. It should have gone up yesterday, or last week — or last year, or every day over the last century. The protests are for a reason. This has to stop. White people have to stop killing black people and brown people. The way this […]

This is not established policy yet but, it’s not looking good. Remember how we were talking about the STEM option a few months ago? (The STEM program allows for a longer term for the automatic post-graduation H1-B work visa, to let you stay in the U.S. for up to three years.) Well darn it, there […]
