After some off-topic banter on Halloween, All Saints Day, and the likes of Elton John & Duran Duran topping the music charts in the UK, Alex and Graham dig into the recently published Class of 2023 profiles at Chicago Booth and Stanford GSB, highlighting some fascinating stats. Our hosts then celebrate 'Real Humans' pieces on Emory and INSEAD, as well as a couple of terrific podcast reviews, before reminding listeners of an upcoming Deferred Enrollment event with Chicago Booth, Berkeley Haas, Wharton, Columbia, and CMU Tepper (register here: https://bit.ly/cadeferredenrollment) . As to the Wire Taps portion of the show, Alex and Graham dig into three more MBA candidates; one applicant is targeting a wide array of programs, but has to contend with a GMAT score that feels out of sync with the rest of their profile, and lack of extracurricular activities. Next up, candidate with 10 years of experience inquired about which MBA program format to pursue (1 year vs. 2) given her goal to shift careers. And finally, an early bird applicant from the energy industry wants to know their chances at some top schools in light of goals in SE Asia. This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced by Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, PA. Thanks for tuning in and for spreading the word about the show!
