MBA Wire Taps 454: Wharton’s TBD, Entrepreneur, 337 GRE. Consulting to Finance

In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the current state of the MBA admissions season, with interview invites continuing to roll out. This upcoming week, Oxford / Said has its Stage 3 application deadline, INSEAD has its Round 2 application deadline and Washington / Olin is scheduled to release its Round 1 decisions.

Graham highlighted the upcoming deferred enrollment webinar series, signups for all these events are here, https://www.clearadmit.com/events The next livestream AMA with Alex and Graham is scheduled for Tuesday, November 25; here’s the link to Clear Admit’s YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/cayoutubelive.

We then had a deep-dive discussion covering Wharton’s Team-Based Discussion topic and how to best prepare. These interviews will be hosted by Wharton, virtually, over the next two weeks.

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

This week’s first MBA admissions candidate is an entrepreneur with 11 years of work experience. They also have a super GRE score of 337.

This week’s second MBA applicant is an engineer with a great GPA of 3.8 and strong GRE score of 333. They want to transition from consulting to finance.
