anon93493 Likes Earned: 11 Yes, I applied in R2 to all of these schools. I worked in investment banking (in London and Nigeria) for 2 years before transitioning to PE. Currently, I work at one of the biggest PE firms based out of Africa. I was promoted in record time in my IB and PE job. I spent most of my third and final year in college looking after my sick father. I have written GRE twice. (0)
