The MBA admissions process is, in many ways, subjective. Broadly speaking the top MBA programs want to see a high GMAT or GRE score, a strong undergraduate GPA, and solid work experience. But, there is no magic formula for getting admitted. In our latest episode of the mbaMission podcast, Harold Simansky and Jeremy Shinewald discuss the clients who have surprised us over the years -- the long-shot applicants who were successfully admitted to top business schools -- and how they overcame weaknesses in their profiles and impressed the MBA admissions committees.
