These applicants with 3.9+ GPA and 700+ GMAT try to be too sleek without realising that there is beauty in simplicity.
I've been around the block long enough to know most people who use big words and vague platitudes are trying to compensate for something more substantial in their work. Honesty and humility go a long way in leaving a positive impression.
It will take a miracle for this kid to get into HBS..
Bro , I think your awesome (the interviewer). New to this show, but I’m in. I am genuinely laughing like I’m watching Saturday night live but learning like I’m in a case study class. Keep it up man
I'm an associate director at a consulting firm and I think the candidate is drinking a bit too much from the MBA kool-aid. Also, the way he speaks comes across as extremely obnoxious even if he doesn't mean to. He needs to adjust his tonality to be a bit more appropriate and conversational.
This kinda guy would be the first one I kick out from my team.......
These videos are awesome and very informative. Thanks!
This guy is so lost in the consulting sauce.
Ronald is currently an MBA candidate at NYU Stern
That was tough one..
This is hard to watch. This guy is obviously very smart but part of being smart is being able to translate complex ideas in a simple way. This dude literally can't summarize what he does at his job without using corporate mumbo-jumbo and buzzwords.
Sandy has me cracking up literally every time
Take this guy out of consulting and you have an empty suit
man's too nervous to speak like a normal person lmao
Curious to know where he got in, if he did
It's funny because you can tell this guy has studied very hard but all that has given him is the ability to recite meaningless buzzwords. There's a big difference between theoretical knowledge and actually being able to successfully apply that knowledge.

The guy who is being interviewed is the only one who disliked this video :/
He ended up with an MBA at NYU.
Oh, I am doubtful on his stats and his job.
