($) How to ask a school how they’re differentiated

May 10, 2022 by EssaySnark

Maybe you’re in the kicking-the-tires phase, where you’re on the info session circuit, logging on to webinars and zoom squares to hear admissions people hawk their schools. A very common question that we see MBA applicants asking schools in these web chats and info sessions is, “What makes your school unique?” Premium content starts here…...

($) How to get the most of your MBA

February 25, 2022 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

You thought putting together your applications was hard. Well guess what? Now that you’re admitted (or hopefully will be soon!) you’ve got an even harder task ahead of you!

Is “cultural fit” possibly a bad thing?

April 14, 2021 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

Recently we were talking about the death of yet another Black man. Today let’s bring this back into the business world. The business schools promote “fit” tremendously in their marketing efforts. EssaySnark is certainly guilty of this, even going so far — very recently — of saying that it could be the most important factor […]

($) Should you care about a bschool’s culture?

September 24, 2020 by EssaySnark - Discusses Berkeley Haas Leave a Comment

UC Berkeley chart of admits choosing them on their culture

Culture and “school fit” are closely interrelated — and if you’re doing research to learn about the school only for the purpose of having some things to plug into your essay, you’re doing it wrong. School fit is not just about you convincing them that you belong there. It’s at least as much about you […]

Inflation is low. Why is MBA tuition increasing AT ALL?

October 17, 2019 by EssaySnark - Discusses Harvard Leave a Comment

Consumer Price Index changes

So hmm. EssaySnark got a little triggered. Back in April, we wrote this whole post ripping HBS a new one, because we stumbled into this — from the overview of the HBS financial report published in October 2018 by Havard Business School’s CFO: MBA tuition is budgeted to increase a modest 2 percent in fiscal […]

If you really want to catch a glimpse of the culture of a school

June 3, 2019 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

This may be in the category of pop science but we believe there could be some truth to it. We blahgged recently about trends in the bschool landscape focusing on specific new faces in the deans’ offices at certain top schools. As we did the research on that post, looking at the “About the Dean” […]

Culture

March 15, 2018 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

This “school fit” thing is really a nebulous concept. At least, at first it is. When you’re first trying to figure out what schools to apply to and everything. It can be truly overwhelming. Where do you start, and how do you understand this “fit” thing in the first place? Often this only is revealed […]

A comment for certain non-American young ladies out there.

April 2, 2015 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

We know (hope!) that the way many of you interact with EssaySnark is different than how you’d interact with the schools. Or at least, it’s different than how you’d talk with the admissions people at the schools. Snarkville tends to be a little loose and casual, and that’s fine, we hope it stays that way. […]
