Navigating DEI in MBA Admissions: Advice for Today’s Applicants | Ep 90

Conversations around diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are evolving rapidly in business school admissions — especially in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision to end race-conscious admissions. What does this actually mean for MBA applicants today? In this episode of The mbaMission Podcast, host Harold Simansky is joined by Senior MBA Admissions Consultant Nisha Trivedi and MBA Admissions Managing Director Harshad Mali for a candid, practical discussion about how DEI is being interpreted, redefined, and applied in MBA admissions today. They unpack how schools are adapting their evaluation frameworks, what diversity really means beyond demographics, and how applicants should think about presenting their backgrounds authentically without trying to “game” the process. If you’re wondering whether DEI still matters, how to approach identity in your application, or what has truly changed since the Supreme Court ruling, this episode offers clarity and grounded advice from the front lines of MBA admissions. 00:00 Why diversity still matters in MBA classrooms 00:41 DEI in business schools today: what’s changing 01:29 What happens when DEI becomes contested 03:10 How schools are redefining diversity beyond demographics 05:41 The Supreme Court ruling explained 7:37 Are MBA classes becoming more uniform? 12:34 Applicant stories that challenge assumptions 15:15 Addressing identity in applications 17:30 The importance of authenticity 19:06 What applicants should focus on now 20:10 Closing thoughts and guidance Book your FREE 30-minute MBA admissions consultation with Harold, Harshad, Nisha or another one of our experienced MBA admissions consultants by filling out this form: https://www.mbamission.com/consult/mb...
