For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected one ApplyWire entry and two DecisionWire entries:

This week’s first MBA admissions candidate is applying for deferred admissions at top MBA programs, but has a GRE score of 310.

This week’s second MBA applicant wants to work in the Middle East after their MBA and has an offer from Stern for their program in Abu Dhabi.

This week’s final MBA candidate is deciding between Kenan Flagler and Tepper and waiting for Kellogg.
