    Facing MBA application fears: B-Schooled episode 226

    In this two-part series we are going to talk about fear. Fear--and admitting you are afraid--has gotten a bit of a bad rep in our world, especially in the world of MBA applications. However facing your fears fears can offer you a very real opportunity to learn about yourself and dramatically improve your MBA applications.  In this episode our host Chandler unpack three of the most frequent MBA application fears that clients and other applicants have shared with him over the years. We will unpack each of these and examine: What these fears might REALLY be telling you about yourself, How you can lean into these fears, and What you can learn about yourself – and, therefore, make your application stronger – from this process.  Chandler also shares a number of other useful podcasts about related topics that you might want to check out, including: Episode 125 – Where we share 5 things applicants are often scared to talk about (and why you really should), including: A low GMAT/GRE score A mistake you made or something you regret (such as a DUI or an honor code violation) The need to *stand out* from the crowd (especially if you come from an overrepresented demographic) Episode 126 – Where we continue the discussion and talk about: Failing grades or low GPA Being a candidate that is significantly “older” or “younger” than other applicants A sneaking suspicion that your school selection is way out of reach Episodes 137 – Where we talk about five specific ways to combat self-doubt during the MBA admissions process, including: Facing your doubts head on Developing a plan to address each of your doubts Role-playing “worse case” interview questions Clearing your mind Asking yourself, what can I learn from this doubt? Episode 138 – Where we talk about five more tips and suggestions for dealing with self-doubt, including: Don’t compare yourself to other people Develop a realistic post-MBA plan Identify a “career path exemplar” Find an MBA mentor Ignore your inner saboteur NOTE:  We apologize for the lesser audio quality of this episode related to a one-time recording complication.

    5 topics to explore in your MBA application (other than work): B-Schooled episode 223

    You’ve all heard the expression all work and no play makes Jack (or Julia) a dull sport.  The same is true with MBA applications. Simply having an amazing set of  professional accomplishments is not enough to get you into a top MBA program. Setting aside scores and academic achievements for another podcast, this podcast will dive into five different aspects of your life you might explore applications, including a few you probably have not previously considered. Question: Why are we talking about this? And why do business schools even ask you to write essays in the first place?  Answer: These schools are interested in much MORE than your test scores, academic transcript, and professional accomplishments. More than almost anything else these schools are interested in learning what lessons you have learned about yourself and your leadership style, and—critically—how you will harness those learnings in order to drive impact in the world.  Listening to this podcast is a must for anyone who wants to: Present a full and complete picture of them to the admissions office, Stand out from the crowd by sharing unique and attention-grabbing stories and examples, and/or Identify memorable and authentic ways to share what makes YOU tick, how YOU think, how YOU have grown and changed over the years, and (very importantly) what lessons you have learned about yourself along the way.  This B-Schooled episode can be found here, or take a listen on any of the major podcast platforms below.

For this episode, our host Chandler sits down with former Kellogg Admissions Officer—and longtime SBC Consultant—Caryn to talk about all the changes… and how to tackle them.  Caryn not only holds an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management, she also worked as an Admissions Officer for Kellogg before joining SBC. In this role Caryn read and evaluated thousands of applications. For this podcast Caryn touches on a range of topics, including: SBC’s recent conversations with the Kellogg Admissions Team about a range of topics of interest to current and future students, The fact that Kellogg is much more than a marketing school (in fact you might be surprised what most students are focusing on), and A deep dive conversation about Kellogg’s wide range of MBA program options, including their—two year program, one year program, MBAi program, joint degree offerings, and other program options.   Caryn also shares specific advice on the updated Kellogg application, including specific suggestions regarding: Two new essay questions, what you should focus on (and what you shouldn’t),  Possible ways to approach each of these questions, Ways you might structure your essays, Potential pitfalls applicants should be aware of, and How to tackle all of these things within a very tight word count. Caryn then closes out the podcast with a few pieces of personal advice from her position as a former Kellogg MBA admissions officer that we promise you don’t want to miss.
