    If you’re applying to an MBA, you should be listening
    If you’re applying to an MBA, you should be listening to this. This is one of the best podcasts for MBA admissions. Darren covers a number of topics related to MBA admissions better other podcasts. I found the episodes around writing your narrative (those tagged how to & keep attention) and hiring an MBA consultant (#125) particularly helpful. I was able to get admitted to an M7, and Darren certainly contributed to my success. Thank you!

    The information shared by both Darren and the guest speakers are vastly more insightful and in-depth than the canned feedbacks you can easily find online. A must listen for anyone preparing to apply to business schools.

    Probably the best MBA application resource
    I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this podcast and getting an insiders perspective regarding the schools I applied to. By listening to this podcast and taking its advice, I was able to get into Johnson(50% scholarship), Olin(Consortium Fellowship), McDonough, and Mendoza(full-tuition). Thanks Darren!
  • Adam in Michigan
    Helpful starting place, and ending place
    I had no idea how to start thinking about the MBA application process when I decided to go to business school. This podcast gave me the resources to begin the process and the confidence of knowing that I was telling a story admissions committees would want to hear. Thanks Darren and team for all the great resources!

    A Must-Listen for MBA Applicants
    This podcast offers a wealth of information. The episodes with admissions officers typically consist of two parts: (1) a description of the school and what makes it unique and (2) an overview and recommendations on the admissions process. I have found both of these facets to be essential in my MBA research - For people who are on the go, this is an amazing way to get insights from the AOs themselves and to get a preliminary sense of "fit" from each school. Furthermore, I like that this podcast interviews schools around the world and is not solely focused on the US. Thanks so much for all of your hard work, Darren Joe!
  • GilGC

    Guiding Light for the B-School Application Maze
    Amazing resource with over 100 useful episodes. I spent so much time and effort perfecting my GMAT that once I had my score I didn't know where to turn to attack the rest of my app with the same strategic planning and intensity. Listen to the 100 best tips episode first and take notes. Such a wealth of insider info from top admissions officers. Save your money from admissions consultants and let Touch MBA show you the way to get into your target schools!
  • Tydaboss4sho

  • Mike68497hgf
    The best mba podcast
    I'm an mba applicant and I've listened to almost every single episode of this podcast and they are super helpful in my application process! My favs are admission officer interviews because they give such a great insights on business schools that you can't get from anywhere else on the internet! Also it's really convenient to play those when I'm driving! Please keep up with the good work Darren!

    Amazing resource!
    This podcast is so resourceful for prospective and current students. Darren frames up key points to consider better than anyone else and I constantly learn new things in each episode.

    SUPER Helpful
    Darren and The Touch MBA podcast are simply amazing. Darren is very knowledgeable about all things related to MBA admissions and freely shares his insights on his show. I appreciated his line of questioning to each program's adcoms. It helped inform me on how to research a programs strengths and weaknesses and narrow down my list of schools to which I planned to apply. I can honestly say I would not even thought to consider the international program I eventually got accepted into without first hearing about it first on the podcast. I highly recommend this podcast to all those starting the process of identifying and applying to MBA programs.
  • Sabikam

    Darren provides incredible insight into the admissions process at top bschools. I am also enrolled in his Admissions Edge program, which is just as fantastic as the podcast. Darren has been a great help. Armed with his guidance, I feel more confident applying to bschools in the fall 2016.
  • Mattyice311
    Amazing!!!
    Just started listening to this podcast a few weeks and have already gone through them all! This is truly an amazing resource. Not to mention when I went to the website to do an assessment they got back to me in one day. Couldn't be happier with Touch MBA.

  • 2014AndersonAlum
    Great Insights
    Getting into a top b school is becoming more competitive each year and applicants should be looking for any leg up. These podcasts are a great way to get additional insights that others may not be receiving - insights that can help you pick the right school, ace the interviews, and write your essays. Definitely worth the time. Highly recommend.

    MBA Admissions
    A ton of information for the MBA Admissions process! I value what Darren has to say as well as his guest speakers from various B Schools. Every prospective MBA student should listen to this podcast. This has helped me while writing my personal essays and application. Thank you!
  • AndersonFan1030
    Good stuff
    I have to say that the podcast really assisted me with the admissions process. I was interested in applying to business school in Asia (hopefully in Singapore) and the Touch MBA Podcast really provided some good insight into what it takes. Also, I found Darren approachable and knowledgable about the admissions process. Highly recommended for MBA applicants.
  • Nate.13.83
    An inside look at what it takes
    Darren, a former adcom, has created something truly special here by giving prospective students an inside look at how B Schools assess candidates. I highly recommend listening to these podcasts, and heading over to his website for a consultation.
  • Glen Cornell
    Essential for any prospective MBA students
    Listen to every cast. This Podcast is doing an excellent job of putting together a concise step-by-step for what you should do/know before you apply for grad school. Your basically getting tips from the admissions directors themselves on how you should craft your resume/essay, and how to perform in an interview. As you go through the podcasts be sure to take notes, you can design a blueprint which can be tweaked depending on the school. Looking back it's scary to think what it would be like to apply having not received this advice. Keep it up guys!
  • John S. P.
    A Unique Touch
    A wealth of information exists here. It is the rare occasion that those in the admission process, be it for "B school" or any other, have the chance to hear what the most selective schools in the world look for in an application. Not just a tool, this might be the most valuable tool a prospective student to any MBA program could want. It merits a thorough listen.
  • DerekinNYC
    Great MBA tips and network
    On point. Great insights. Opens up many more options and approaches for getting an MBA. Getting the inside view on admissions office will make you realize that it's not cut and dry, you must have a story that sets you apart and gets the attention of the admissions officers.
