Despite the chilly rains sweeping through England and France over the past few days, Alex and Graham bring a particularly sunny disposition to WireTaps this week. They kick things off with a breakdown of the incoming class profiles at Ross and Stern, do a bit of promo for the Clear Admit Interview Guides and for the final essay workshop for the fall (featuring admissions directors from Stanford, Chicago Booth, NYU Stern, LBS, INSEAD and slated for this Wednesday at 12 pm ET)!

Also, for the first time, Alex and Graham review a post to our new tool, MBA RankingsWire, breaking down a user submission by request. This episode was recorded in Cornwall, England and Paris, France. It was produced by Dennis Crowley mere blocks away from the 'Rocky Steps' in sunny Philadelphia.
