MBA Admissions Podcast: Upcoming Deadlines, GMAT Writing Update, and Candidate Profiles

In this week's MBA Admissions Podcast, we discuss the busy season ahead, with upcoming deadlines for Georgetown / McDonough, Johns Hopkins / Carey (Early Action), and Stanford, Michigan / Ross, Columbia, Yale SOM, INSEAD, Northwestern / Kellogg, and Berkeley / Haas (Round 1). We also cover news from GMAC, which has introduced a new writing exam following the removal of the AWA from the traditional GMAT, and Harvard's preference for seeing writing samples from all applicants. Graham highlights recent admissions tips on GMAT/GRE test waivers, the increasing popularity of video essays, and a survey on visa requirements for international MBA students. We also discuss impressive class profiles from UCLA / Anderson and Duke / Fuqua, noting a 41% increase in applications at UCLA and record female enrollment at Fuqua. For the candidate profile review, Alex analyzes two ApplyWire entries and a LiveWire question: -A candidate sponsored by a "Big 4" consulting firm with a strong profile but concerns around a 3.3 GPA and 690 GMAT. -A military veteran now studying Mechanical Engineering at Stanford with an intriguing lived experience. -A reapplicant asking whether to apply in Round 1 or Round 2 while retaking the GRE and transitioning to a new job.
