Note:

It was between HBS and Columbia. After more research, It was apparent that the overall quality of the students at HBS is significantly higher (consistent with the brand). The Columbia admits wanted the job I already had when I was 22 lol. While the investing program was interesting, it’s overhyped. None of them are getting those jobs. The buy side is reserved for HBS. I would caution anyone on here who lives on the east coast to going anywhere other than HBS and maybe Wharton. I spoke to a lot of people and it seems almost like a negative on a resume going to a second tier school because that signals that you your arnt a 10/10. Just something to think about

Note:

Rejected from University of Utah after 2 rounds of interview. I don't believe I was rejected due lack of qualifications -- for all I know, it could have been because I am gay (when I mentioned that fact, I could sense a change in the tone of the second interviewer) and Asian.
