I totally agree. As human beings we can't remove the ego, so a healthy balance of the two makes for a great leader. We discuss more on this in the full episode here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q8Vnqcif1bO8cas.html

Thank you; we have added this topic for a future session. If you have not subscribed to our channel, please do so, so you do not miss the session :)

While we do not have official numbers yet, M7s and top-ranked business schools have unofficially shared an increase in applicants. We've had a relatively equal distribution of international and domestic applicants we've worked with, acknowledging of course the fact that we work with a small number of applicants each cycle. That said, based on the conversations we've had, in terms of prospective applicants, we have seen more international applicants considering/applying to b-schools. We cannot speak to success stories on those, however.

Applicants, typically, do not hire a coach to polish grammar (although that is a byproduct of working with a coach). If all you need is grammar correction, then hire an editor or use AI/Grammarly. AI will help you present what you advise the tool to structure/present, and it typically yields a high-level presentation of anything you prompt it to produce. A coach will integrate years of their direct experiences in admission to help you weave your greatest strengths with what the B-schools are expecting of successful candidates. A good coach is also going to help you see your experiences from a different perspective/lens, coach you on things you should/should not be doing, and help you dive deeper into your own experiences so you can present an authentic application (a good coach will do more than this, but these are some elements to consider).

@@siaadmissions exactly this is what I understand of the benefits one gets by hiring a coach. So, why is advent of AI suddenly a challenge for the B schools? People from ages have been seeking professional help from coaches to improvise essays and story telling, and AI, in a way, can be assumed as a remote version of a coach, although not very effective one. So why were B schools not concerned with coaches and are concerned with AI? The reason I ask this question is because you mentioned that video essays will be part of the application for more and more B schools this application cycle and the reason for doing so is because more and more applicants are using AI. I don’t understand this part

Thank you
