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.

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!

Continue reading...($) Should you care about a bschool’s 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?
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 […]

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” […]

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 […]
