The Resources I Used (a work in progress)

​Blogs I read regularly:​

• Poets and Quants

  • An excellent website featuring quality articles on business schools​.
     

• Reddit

  • r/mba I joined reddit just to have access to the wonderful questions posted here​.
     

• Clear Admit

  • Interview guides, profiles and articles on all major MBA programs.
     

• Wall Street Oasis

  • A forum for those interested in finance careers.​
    ​

• Mergers and Inquisitions

  • My top resource for careers in finance. Primarily written from the perspective of those who pursued a career in finance right after undegrad, there are many posts on MBA programs and career paths I did not even know existed in finance.​
    ​

• The Lobby.io

  • Neat startup by an former i-banker to connect those interested in summer internships and full-time offers with​ current i-bankers at certain firms. Also features blogs about investment banking.
     

GMAT resources:

• www.MBA.com

  • Where you register for the GMAT exam.
     

• Magoosh

  • The self-study GMAT resource I used.​
     

• GMATClub

  • The forum which has EVERYTHING. Answers to official GMAT guide questions, GMAT questions of all levels created by users, forums to discuss business school applications and life. NOTE: many people are critical because they believe the majority of participants are Indian MBA candidates and thus their experience is not applicable, but I vehemently disagree. Everything I have read has been extremely helpful.​
     

• Target Test Prep

  • A self-student GMAT resource I used that provides strong fundamentals in the quant component of the GMAT. Would have been more awesome if I have more than 3 months to study.​
     

Other Resources for scholarships and fellowships:

• The Consortium

  • The single greatest tool in my MBA toolkit. A common application which allows one to apply to up to 6 programs for one low flat rate AND be eligible for the incredible fellowship which covers 2 years of tuition and fees AS LONG AS you meet the criteria of the mission.​
     

• Management Leadership for Tomorrow

  • Great Resource for minority applicants.​
     

• Toigo

  • Great resource for minority applicants​
    ​

• MBA JumpStart

  • Another resource for minority MBA candidates.​

Paying for it all:

• Common Bond

  • MBA graduate creation which provides low interest rate MBA loans and a fairly robust calculator by MBA program of estimated fees.
