Harvard Business students undergraduate schools
Hello Monkeys, I'm jumping off my regular Q&A Forum to post a link about "feeder schools" to top business schools. I know that Poets & Quants has done an excellent job aggregating the top feeder schools, but I do want people to know that a lot of it is a function of from where students apply. I hope...
Congrats to the round 1 admits!

Just how important are recommendation letters?
I've heard different opinions on this. On one hand, some have told me that as long as the letters are not bad or ridiculously good, they won't make too much of a difference. On the other hand, some have said that recs are the second most important component of the application, aside from work...

In praise of Essay Snark

They provide a lot of a la carte services which are pretty reasonably priced. I ended up paying $100 for their...
Is 740 the new 700?
About five years ago, the conventional wisdom was, "just break 700, and you'll be fine with the top b-schools." The median gmat however has increased a lot since then. Virtually all the top 10 programs are now in the 720-730 range. HBS and Stanford will probably hit 740 in a few years. Given this...
MBA Admissions from MBB?
I'm wondering--- do most people who work at MBB have basically their choice of business school? Assuming you have a GPA high enough to get an offer at MBB (3.7+), a 700+ gmat score , and aren't a total dud of a person, are you generally a lock at Harvard/Stanford? Or at that level of selectiveness...

Influence of Post-baccalaureate Work on Acceptance
Okay, this is like the sequel or spin-off of my other thread regarding work experiences to MBA admissions. Hopefully by getting these questions answered will erase most of my concerns. 1. What are the "desired" or "appropriate" work experiences are required for MBA admissions to the top-tier MBA...

Traders: how do you demonstrate "leadership" in application?
I was recently watching a podcast interview of an admissions officer at Wharton MBA . She said that the most important criteria for admission is "career progression."
