In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the current state of the MBA admissions season. We are now seeing more MBA programs releasing their final decisions for Round 2. This upcoming week, Rice / Jones, Harvard, Northwestern / Kellogg, Boston College / Carroll, Chicago / Booth, Berkeley / Haas, Texas / McCombs, UCLA / Anderson, Cornell / Johnson and Washington / Foster are releasing decisions. MBA programs are also beginning their next admissions rounds, including Michigan / Ross, London Business School, Washington / Foster, Dartmouth / Tuck, Columbia and Michigan State / Broad.

Graham then highlighted an MBA admissions tip that focuses on the impact of scholarships for MBA candidates, as they make their final decisions on where they will attend.

Finally, Graham continued with the Real Humans Alumni series. This week focuses on two alumni from Booth / Microsoft and Mendoza / Amazon.

For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected one ApplyWire entry and two DecisionWire entries:

This week’s first MBA admissions candidate is applying for deferred admissions at top MBA programs, but has a GRE score of 310.

This week’s second MBA applicant wants to work in the Middle East after their MBA and has an offer from Stern for their program in Abu Dhabi.

This week’s final MBA candidate is deciding between Kenan Flagler and Tepper and waiting for Kellogg.
