As Graham recovers from jet lag after his first bit of travel in ages, Alex sees an opportunity to convince him of the existence of a rather 'unusual' application element at a leading school. Meanwhile, our hosts talk about the flurry of releases of essay topics and make one last pitch for this Wednesday's Clear Admit Essay Insight event (sign up here: https://bit.ly/clearadmitessayinsight). In terms of candidates reviewed, this week's show covers several critical issues including: Can a great candidate make the cut at top schools with a 650 on the GMAT? Does a candidate with interest in banking, consulting, and private equity need a bit more focus? And finally, how does a relocation due to visa issues work for or against a candidate? Tune in for answers to these questions and more! This episode was recorded in Philadelphia, PA and Cornwall, England. It was produced by Dennis Crowley. Please remember to rate and review the show wherever you listen, and to tell a friend to tune in as well.
