  • MBA WAVES: The MBA for Couples (Episode 136)
    Feb 17 2026

    Join the coaches of MBA Waves - Bara Sapir, Eric Lucrezia, and Krithika Srinivasan - as we look at which MBA programs out there are a great option for couples - married or not - looking to do their MBA at the same time at place. One person doing their MBA is stressful enough, but both people in a relationship?? You're going to need some strategies to keep the piece and probably some support from outside.

    Meet Kaveri Doshi and Parth Nayak, two current MBA students at London Business School...and they're married. To each other!! They are first year students in the two-year full-time MBA program, who are joining us for an episode to share about their specific journey as a couple and as individuals, embarking on the MBA pathway they share together at LBS. What challenges have they faced, what has been advantageous, and why did they choose LBS?

    We are also joined by Caroline and Cody Campbell, also a married couple that will talk about their journey applying to MBA programs, as well as their experiences so far as 1st year MBA students in the MBA program at Tepper School of Business, at Carnegie Melon University.

  • MBA WAVES: Video Essays for your MBA Application (Episode 149)
    Dec 30 2025

    You might be surprised to know that some schools, such as Kellogg, INSEAD, Yale, MIT, Rotman, and others have introduced a video interview and/or essay as part of your application. Some schools require it and for others, it is optional. So besides being picture-ready... mastering this skill will benefit you on-the-job, too. In fact, it might be more important than interviews!

    We understand that not everyone feels comfortable in front of a camera, but since COVID 19 especially, appearing on screen has become much more of our reality, and the more comfortable you become in this more 'performative' stance, the better you will present yourself.

    In this week's episode, we'll speak with guests who share their best-practices when it comes to being on video and the video essays themselves. To help us dive into this important topic is our friend and fellow AIGAC member, Maria Wich-Vila, MBA admissions consultant and founder of Applicant Lab. We are also joined by video consultant and founder of Dialog Video Marketing, Justin Vajko, do give us his take - See what I did there? - on not only how to look and sound your best on camera, but also to be sure to deliver the message you want and need to convey, considering the constraints we have in the context of MBA admissions video essays.
