In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the upcoming MBA admissions season. This week, Dartmouth / Tuck, IESE and Imperial Business School have their Round 1 application deadlines; Duke / Fuqua is scheduled to release its interview invites for its Early Action Round. Graham noted that our second livestream AMA is scheduled for this Tuesday on YouTube; here's the link to Clear Admit's YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/cayoutubelive.  Graham then highlighted the ongoing September series of admissions events. The third session is on Wednesday, and includes Berkeley / Haas, INSEAD, London Business School, Michigan / Ross and UNC / Kenan / Flagler. Signups for this series are here: https://bit.ly/cainsidemba We then had a detailed discussion on the recently released 2025-26 MBA rankings from LinkedIn and Bloomberg / Business Week. Graham noted two recently published MBA admissions-related tips that focus on completing the business school application data forms, and whether it is advisable to skip the GMAT or GRE and seek a test waiver.  We continued our series of profiling star MBA professors. This week we feature two professors from Columbia Business School and Northwestern / Kellogg. We then discussed our first student-focused Real Humans for this season, from UNC / Kenan Flagler. Finally, we had our first class profile to review, from the Duke / Fuqua Class of 2027. For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected three ApplyWire entries: This week's first MBA admissions candidate graduated from the Naval Academy and was a division 1 athlete. They appear to have a very decent career in the navy. Unfortunately, they have a low GPA and a modest GRE score. This week's second MBA candidate is from Mexico and targeting Dartmouth / Tuck and several Canada-based programs. They are a chemical engineer graduate with several years of business experience. The final MBA candidate has recently had a fourteen-month break from work. They also want to waive the GMAT. They do appear to have strong prior experience and academics, but we caution against the waiver. This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA. Thanks to all of you who've been joining us and please remember to rate and review this show wherever you listen!

356 - Join two travelers in the French countryside as they encounter a haunting, or is it a time loop? Tuck in to hear the classic tale from atmospheric author, Algernon Blackwood.

In a fiery segment, Sal and BT debate the Giants' chances against the struggling Chiefs, with Sal arguing the Giants are nowhere near the Chiefs' level, while BT believes the Chiefs are a "fading dynasty" and ripe for an upset. The discussion pivots to the looming quarterback situation, with the hosts questioning when rookie Jaxson Dart might see playing time and whether a "moral victory" is good enough for the Giants' season. Later, two-time Super Bowl champion Justin Tuck joins the show, offering his unfiltered perspective on the team's struggles, the defense's underwhelming performance, and whether the Giants can truly turn their season around.

Justin Tuck, a former Giants' defensive end and two-time Super Bowl champion, joined Sal and BT to give a candid take on the state of the Giants. He believes the team's defense has not lived up to its potential and is playing to "not lose games" instead of playing to "win them." In a fiery exchange, Tuck expressed his belief that the Giants should not rush rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart into playing this season, arguing that he needs more time to develop. He stated that throwing Dart into the current situation would be a mistake, as it could "shell shock" the young QB and damage his confidence.

After Perennial is nearly shot from the sky, the team is shattered. Tuck has fallen in the struggle, Mia is taken, and the survivors are dragged to a faceless corporate compound. Hyde lies unconscious in a supposed hospital while Warp and Merit are locked away in the primary tower under the watch of Agent Kit, a sharp-eyed representative of the Program. As dawn breaks, Merit must confront their captors and convince them that only Perennial can stop whatever Tuck has become.

Gospel Reading- Luke 14:25-33 Key Verse- "In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples." -Luke 14:33

SynopsisOn today's date in 1996, Michael Tilson Thomas conducted the San Francisco Symphony in the first performance of Lost and Found, a five-minute toccata for orchestra. Its composer was Steve Mackey, an American whose music Tilson Thomas championed and recorded.Mackey wrote: “On more than one occasion Michael has used the word ‘wacky' to describe my music. Composers usually blanch at such attributions — nobody wants to be captured in a single word — but I can live with ‘wacky'. It is not a common adjective, does not end with ‘ism,' and clearly the rhyme with my last name personalizes it. My music tends to explore fringe modes of consciousness rather than brand name emotion or logical thought.”He also avoids conventional titles. His Concerto for Electric Guitar is titled Tuck and Roll, and among his other works can be found Banana/Dump Truck and Eating Greens.Mackey said, “I think a lot about momentum, inertia, and even gravity, allowing the music to get stuck and tip over, lurch headlong, tumble with limbs akimbo as well as to move fluidly gives it a ‘road runner' cartoon kind of physicality, a fantasy, but not completely unhinged from the physical world.”Music Played in Today's ProgramSteven Mackey (b. 1956): Lost and Found; New World Symphony; Michael Tilson Thomas, conductor; BMG 63826

He crunched the numbers, synthesized, and analyzed so we could come to our own wild ass conclusion and slander cities we don't like.

Then we discuss some Phillies rollercoaster stuff like them getting swept in New York, Schwarber's four-home run game, and JT getting his in the danglers yet again.
