Heck, if school is gonna be done remote: Why not keep your job, live where you’re at, and go to school at the same time? Premium content starts here… ———– Premium content ends. Right now is a time for all of us to re-imagine what the world should be. Everything is in turmoil […]

You’re in a big meeting at a client site. You’ve never been there before. The meeting is hot into discussion, and your boss turns to you and says, “Can you go print out the Acme Report for last quarter? Get copies for everyone. I think we need that to make this decision.” It’s not your […]

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 […]

You’d been planning for an MBA for over a year. You spent most of 2019 getting ready. You took the GMAT, then took it again. You figured out your schools based on all the attributes that matter to you, studying their class profile, thinking through your goals. You sweated over essays, then sweated some more. […]

The world is on fire. Have you noticed? And gosh, aren’t people reacting in very different ways? You’ve likely already got stories about interactions with someone that went a little weird. Like, the communication was just off between you, like maybe they weren’t really paying attention and not hearing you. Or bizarre behavior from the […]
Continue reading...($) The MBA admissions essay question that every business school should ask for the Class of 2023
This is purely hypothetical and not based on any tipoff that EssaySnark has gotten from any particular admissions director at any specific top school, but… It’s still something that we think could come up, and we invite you to consider this now.
