Author: Riley Alexander, MD, MBAI saw this on TechCrunch today about a new feature launched today by Beat the GMAT, the self-described "MBA Social Network," called the "MBA Watch." The MBA Watch organizes articles, information, and postings about business schools and arranges them into a feed that is not too dissimilar from what you see on Facebook. It also pulls together applicant stats so that interested applicants can see the demographics of accepted candidates and a place for comments to be made. This all requires a registration. Currently, profiles to only 20 of the "top" business schools are available (I was happy to see my alma mater, IU's Kelley SOB, included) with plans to roll out the feeds to more in the future. Also, these are currently only for the full-time programs, as well.
If you're not familiar with the core site, it provides access and guides to GMAT prep and MBA schools and applications processes. I did not use it for my preparation so I can't comment on its utility first-hand, but it does look like an excellent resource for anyone out there considering an MBA.
You can find the site for MBA Watch here.
