Podcasts by The MBA Candidate
How hard is it to get accepted into a top 25 business school? Where do these wonderkids come from? Well, in The MBA Candidate Podcast, your host Adam Miller will interview his friends currently attending top business schools -- including HBS, Booth, GSB, Wharton, Kellogg, Haas, Fuqua, Tuck, SOM, Sloan, Ross, Johnson, Columbia, and Darden. Obviously they’ll talk about the GMAT… but they’ll also break down how their experiences in undergrad and their first jobs set them up for success. Plus, they will talk about their dream jobs in management consulting, marketing, investment banking, entrepreneurship, tech, and beyond!
