Graham and Alex are back this week to advise three more MBA hopefuls. From China to the U.S. military, one applicant hopes to return to CSR consulting but has to explain a substantial gap in employment. Another applicant moved from India to Canada and has a wealth of policy experience but wonders if they are still an ORM. Finally, an army infantry officer looking several years ahead to business school has struggled to translate their practice GMAT scores to the final test and wonders how to best prepare for application. Beyond these profiles and the important admissions lessons born out of their specific challenges, Graham and Alex also preview an upcoming Admission Director Q&A podcast and talk about some special events scheduled for September (https://bit.ly/essayeventseries). This episode was recorded in Cornwall, England and Lake Harmony, PA. It was produced by Dennis Crowley in West Philadelphia. Please remember to tip your server, and to rate and review this podcast!
