		<description><![CDATA[The Economist recently ran an obituary of Swatch magnate Nicolas Hayek, and this offers me a concrete example to explain why management consulting is a weak long-term goal for MBA admissions. (Yes, I&#8217;m always pushing clients to give clear examples or anecdotes to back up their MBA admissions claims. So this is me &#8220;practicing what [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wharton&#8217;s MBA essays for 2010-11 are great; and very significantly reformulated from previous years, demanding new comment and analysis here. The required question: What are your professional objectives? (300 words) This is in some senses the classic Why-an-MBA? question. What&#8217;s new is that it is really short, particularly when compared with the longer questions that [...]]]></description>
