In this replay of one of our most popular episodes, Meg — a former University of Chicago Booth admissions committee member and current SBC admissions consultant — joins Erika to discuss some of the biggest things they see MBA candidates wasting their precious time on during the application process.

They address:

• Their most-hated question MBA candidates often ask
• *Why* it doesn't make sense to worry about certain things in the admissions process
• What applicants' time is better spent on
• What waitlisted candidates should do (and not do) to strengthen their position
• The pros and cons of MBA message boards
• What MBA candidates should do if/when they find themselves filled with doubts

Your resume is perhaps the single most important part of your application materials. This episode covers how to maximize that one precious page.

In this new episode, our host Erika and fellow SBC admissions consultant (and former Kellogg adcom) Caryn have a discussion that covers:

• Multiple tactics applicants can use to raise their quantitative profiles, especially if they don't work in finance- or numbers-heavy roles
• Insight into who might want to consider the GRE or EA instead of the GMAT for their admissions test
• How to use the Additional Info field/essay to address any quantitative weaknesses in your candidacy
