In this week's episode, Graham and Alex ask the eternal MBA admissions question "ED or Not ED?" while offering up advice to a candidate thinking about applying to Columbia and wondering about the timing of his application. Our hosts also offer some advice to a distinguished military candidate with a red flag in the academics domain. Finally, Alex and Graham highlight a debate that took place on the site where a candidate was weighing Berkeley vs. Columbia for Technology or FinTech/Investment Management. In other news, we urge listeners to take our 'MBA admits' survey here: http://bit.ly/MBAadmitsurvey, and for everyone to sign up for our upcoming Application Overview Workshops with admissions directors from 10 leading MBA programs - http://bit.ly/MBAappoverview. Finally, it's no secret that India desperately needs everyone's support right now in the wake of the horrible wave of COVID19 sweeping the country. To help fight COVID-19 and support India, a group of 250+ business school admits and alumni from almost all top business schools have come together to launch a fundraising initiative called “pay-it-forward”. They are urging everyone to donate to any COVID Relief Fund, and in return, they will help the donors with anything related from career planning to MBA applications.
