($) MBA programs that don’t require the TOEFL for international applicants

May 31, 2018 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

If you’re an international applicant to business schools in America and Europe then you probably are already aware that a test of English language abilities is required to apply. The TOEFL is considered the standard that’s accepted at most American MBA programs, and the IELTS and PTE are accepted at some as alternates. We talk […]

EssaySnark’s 2016 Radcom Award

January 16, 2017 by EssaySnark - Discusses MIT Sloan Leave a Comment

Now that most Round 2 deadlines are behind us and the frenzy of another MBA admissions season is winding down, we wanted to step back and catch our breath and acknowledge some of those hard working admissions teams out there. We’ve done this before, with a few posts in the “adcoms that we love” series […]

Success Story! “One admit is all you need”

October 14, 2016 by EssaySnark 1 Comment

We kinda gave away the punchline to one part of this BSer’s story a few weeks back when we complained about a certain school in a previous post…. but this person has a story worth telling and it’s worth hearing it all over again, from their perspective this time! And it does have a happy […]

Haas is on our s**t list.

September 13, 2016 by EssaySnark - Discusses Berkeley Haas 3 Comments

We’ve got a long history of lovin’ on Haas around here yet in the past two seasons they’ve pulled some lame anti-applicant maneuvers. In both cases, their ridiculously strict policies resulted in very fine applicants being moved to the next round. In other words: These applicants submitted in Round X and because of a technicality, […]

“Taking the woeful.”

April 7, 2016 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

Gotta love autocorrect. We got a question from a BSer this past season where they were asking what to write in the optional essay. This sentence was included: “Because of your advice I’m taking the woeful again and need to know if I have to explain this to adcomm.” EssaySnark about fell out of the […]

($) The best timing for a TOEFL

April 28, 2015 by EssaySnark - Discusses MIT Sloan, Yale SOM, UCLA Anderson, Berkeley Haas

In our “Start Your Engines!” kick-off post recently we promised to talk a bit about the TOEFL, since it tends to not get much love here on the blahg. Today we’re going to do just that. First of all: Most international candidates who did not attend an English-speaking college need to take the TOEFL (or,...

($) The TOEFL is not the most important part (unless it is).

November 3, 2014 by EssaySnark

We hardly ever talk about the TOEFL test on this blahg for exactly the reason captured in the title of this post: It’s not that important. It’s also not a part of the admissions process for most Brave Supplicants we work with. The majority of people coming to us for help are either native English...
