Episode 200: Wire Taps—Should I Still Apply This Year? Do I Have Enough Work Experience? I Need Help with My Quant Score!

Clear Admit MBA Admissions Podcast

We are excited to mark another milestone with our 200th podcast episode! Alex and Graham are here to celebrate the occasion in style with another installment of Wire Taps, in which they dish out some fun facts and figures about the history of the Clear Admit podcast as well as the usual slate of MBA admissions advice to current applicants. In terms of those candidates, our hosts review an Indian applicant who now resides in Canada, and is seeking an MBA to start a consulting career. Some of the challenges he faces include making good sense of his career path to date, which features an undergraduate degree in dentistry, a graduate degree in human resources, and several different work experiences. Compounding his challenges, he will likely need to retake his GRE, which currently sits at 310. Next, our hosts discuss a candidate who graduated more recently from undergrad, but appears to have a very strong foundation in terms of impact at work, over three years. This, combined with an outstanding 339 GRE, would appear to open doors at top programs. Finally, Alex and Graham discuss a candidate from Nigeria, and frankly, wonder if he shouldn’t seek out some more higher profile programs, to complement the four he is already targeting. This episode was recorded near the set of the latest Game of Thrones spin-off, and not far from the fabulous adventures of Amélie Poulain. It was produced by Dennis Crowley in the city that both John Coltrane and Sun Ra called home at varying points in their careers. Thanks for rating and reviewing this podcast wherever you listen!
