B-Schooled Podcast Episode #227: Facing MBA Application Fears (Part 2)

B-Schooled

This week on B-Schooled, we wrap up a two-part series on fear and the MBA admissions process. In the first episode, host Chandler unpacked three of the most frequent MBA application fears clients and other applicants have shared with him over the years. This included fears around:

  • Not applying to enough “stretch” or “safe” schools
  • Letting parents (or others) overly influence your school selection decisions
  • The challenges of paying for business school

In this episode, we’ll continue the conversation by exploring fears related to:

  • Not being real/authentic/vulnerable enough in your essays
  • Being too vulnerable or personal in your essays
  • Doubts that an MBA might not be the right degree for you in the first place

In addition to the points above, Chandler also directs listeners to several related podcasts they might want to check out. After closely examining and learning from their fears, we hope MBA applicants can use them to dramatically improve their applications.

This can’t-miss series is for anyone experiencing doubts along their MBA application journey. Listen to this episode of B-Schooled here or on any of the major podcast platforms below.
