In the midst of R1 interview craziness, Alex and Graham take a pause to break down the Class of 2023 profiles at MIT Sloan and CMU Tepper, and then turn their attention to the recently published NYU Stern employment report. Our hosts also highlight an important survey about the MBA application process that Clear Admit has just launched, which we encourage all podcast listeners to take ASAP: https://bit.ly/cafall2021survey Before diving into the WireTaps candidates, Graham also tells Alex about a deferred enrollment event he's leading on Wednesday, November 10th at 12 pm ET with admissions reps from Yale SOM, Wharton, Columbia, Chicago Booth, CMU Tepper, UVA Darden, and Berkeley Haas (sign up here: https://bit.ly/cadeferredenrollment ). In terms of admissions lessons, this episode sheds light on the mystery of the 'Honors & Awards' section in the MBA application forms, the importance of going after the very best programs, and to what extent a 760 GMAT can counter a sub-3.0 GPA. This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced by Dennis Crowley in glorious West Philadelphia.
