  • Very insightful

    The guest selection has improved a lot since last time. This has helped me understand b-school application process in ways not available through school websites.

  • Just reading off a script

    Why would you have a guest on if they’re going to read from a script? It’s so glaringly obvious and the information can be found on the website. Why not have the podcast be 10 min longer and actually discuss something of value, or at least make it interesting?

    Really disappointing.
