The New Reality For Female MBA Applicants (in 2020)

In this episode of Fridays With Sandy, HBSGuru.com founder Sandy Kreisberg and Poets&Quants Editor-in-Chief John A. Byrne weigh in on a potential MBA candidate who has more of a "poet" background. John and Sandy stage a mock interview and discuss her chances of acceptance into her desired MBA programs: UT Austin, Cornell, BU, and BC. Does she need to beef up her qualitative background? What are the stats on incoming MBA students at these schools? "Bad news for someone is good news for someone else."

When he says game face, he's trying to tell her to talk from the gut.

When you say "data analytics is a hot area" I think there's a red herring here. If you are a data scientist with STRONG math and programming background, then yes the recruiters are fighting all over you. If you are a data wrangler or a manger of "data team" without technical abilities, not so much.

But can you just simply make up job titles in MBA applications???

well beauty works for everything I'd say if anyone is feeling salty they should try hardcore dieting, working out 2x a day, daily skin regimen, drinking a gallon of water everyday, handful of supplements everyday, and going to bed at the same time every night you will soon find that beauty is its own hard toil and deserves its just rewards

The older white guy is really rude and condescending. I can't stand these videos. He doesn't let the applicants speak.

Takes you a while to get used to him, but he actually doesn’t mean any harm with his personality
