    MBA WAVES: Slaying the Dragon of Imposter Syndrome (Episode 120)

    Join the coaches of MBA Waves - Bara Sapir, Eric Lucrezia, and Krithika Srinivasan - as we face our fears and probably our own worst critic - ourselves! Imposter Syndrome is very often how this manifests, where we somehow feel that we don't deserve the position at work, at school, or in life that we have. The more this feeling grips our minds, the more paralyzing it can be. When it comes to MBA Admissions, such a feeling can be incredibly limiting. It may hold us back from applying to the top schools because we reject ourselves before we even applY. Our maybe we apply, but it makes us underperform in the application or interview process. This week, we are joined by Megan Stiphany, of Stiphany Consulting, who works with MBA applicants seeking admission to some of the best schools in the world. Together, we'll discuss what exactly is Imposter Syndrome, what might be some common causes, and how to beat it once and for all!

    MBA WAVES: Round 1 applications - The Finishing Touches (Episode 148)

    Applying to Business School for Round 1, which usually finishes in the fall, is considered an optimal time to apply to business school. The admissions team reviewing your candidacy is not only selecting individual students, but also assembling a 'cohort,'  and the earlier you apply the more spaces available and less definition the class has. It's a master class on the 'early bird' catching the worm, especially if you're a highly represented group or profile. Of no small matter, earlier in the application season, there are more scholarships and funding available. All this to say: If you're applying for Round 1, this round-up episode is for you! This week, MBA Waves hosts, Eric Lucrezia, Krithika Srinivasan and Bara Sapir, will be speaking with veteran business school admissions counselor, Linda Abraham, and dive into how you can best put the finishing touches on your Round 1 application. Bring yourself and your questions!
