Resources

The MBA Admissions Studio connects with and puts high-quality resources into the MBA admissions community, mostly via social networks. Here’s an overview of what there is and where to get it:

1. The articles  at mbastudio.net . This is Avi Gordon’s  MBA admissions advisory platform, with hundreds of articles covering various topics including admissions insights, tactics, essay-craft, interview-prep, and more. It is owner-written content, with new content during MBA admissions season (July-February) and more sporadically out of season. Updates are syndicated to Facebook and to various other outlets (see below.)

2. Facebook Page – MBA Admissions Studio contains material from mbastudio.net as well other MBA admssions and MBA Studio-related updates. If you like what you see there (or here), a “like” is very much appreciated.

3. The MBA Studio News is a daily online newspaper created out of sources @mbastudio twitter follows, as well as other selected MBA- and B-school related feeds.

4. Twitter @mbastudio is a focused admissions resource, with no unrelated tweet junk.

5. Linkedin – Avi Gordon also syndicates on Linkedin, and is happy to connect and stay in touch with past and potential future clients.
