&lt;p&gt;If you&#39;re applying to business school this year but you haven&#39;t read Matt Symonds&#39; blog, you should.  A co-founder of the QS World MBA Tour, Matt is a leading authority on business school.  On his blog, he posts all of his articles about MBA trends and admissions advice that appear in &lt;i&gt;Forbes&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;The Economist&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;BusinessWeek&lt;/i&gt;, and on Vault.com.  Not only is the blog a great source for information about applying, but it&#39;s also got tons of trend and industry content that&#39;ll make you the best-researched applicant in the room at group interviews.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Thursday, Matt posted his interview for &lt;i&gt;Forbes&lt;/i&gt; about applying to business school.  His biggest pieces of advice for MBA applicants: &quot;One thing to always bear in mind is that the only thing that you can control in that process is yourself.  The other 9,000 applicants you need to push to one side and really just think about the one application--your own.&quot;  Check it out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;object width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/v/Kkb1um5Vpr0&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowScriptAccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/v/Kkb1um5Vpr0&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
