In the news & notes section of the show, Graham mentioned an MBA admissions tip that focuses on the Round 2 wait list and showcased more entries from our Real Humans Alumni series. This week focuses on three alumni from Fuqua / Netflix, Haas / Google and Johnson / Deloitte.

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

This week’s first MBA admissions candidate is seeking to pivot from banking to MBB consulting and wants to use an executive MBA program to make that pivot.

This week’s second MBA applicant appears to have a strong career in cybersecurity and wants to pivot to consulting in digital strategy. They still need to take the GRE.

This week’s final MBA candidate is deciding between Fuqua and Ross, and possibly Johnson too.

This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA. Thanks to all of you who’ve been joining us and please remember to rate and review this show wherever you listen!
