Notes:

I was overwhelmed at first but once I took a pause, I feel confident that I want to be a part of the smaller, stronger GSB community and that learning in the larger, more segmented HBS environment and with exclusive use of the case method isn't the best choice for me. Hopefully I get enough meaningful aid!

Notes:

Actively working the waitlist at CBS. I have about 10 days to send a deposit to Duke and/or NYU. I aim to work in any of the MBB consulting firms. Duke has a highly collaborative and warm culture with highly structured support for recruiting. Stern has the NYC factor + EQ/IQ. I love NYC and can see myself being really happy there. What do I do?!

Notes:

Background in tech startups (market researcher). I would like to go into corporate strategy and be open to consulting. I'd be open to roles in healthcare/CPG for strategy. Thought about going into big tech at first but think I'd like to pivot from the tech space with the current landscape. I would like to stay in the South/move to East. Leaning UNC

Notes:

Deciding between attending Ross Full Time or doing Kellogg/Booth PT. Recently got a job offer that would be 50% more than what I make today and more than what my role would pay coming out of tech.

Ideally stay in tech and pivot to strategy and operations from strategic finance. Would prefer to stay in the Midwest as well. Thanks!

Notes:

Sponsored MBB consultant.
Waitlisted at Wharton, which would be my first choice, but really struggling between Sloan and Kellogg.
Kellogg seems to have: nicer people, bigger alumni names in Brazil, cheaper cost of living, more welcoming for wife
As an engineer, MIT is a dream school of mine, I liked the people and the brand name is hard to beat

Post MBA Goals are CLDP Program at a Biotech/Pharma Company. Trying to decide what makes sense for myself still.
Waitlisted at MIT currently.
I am very lucky to have $50k of my own money to pay for this but only covers half of what I have left to cover at GU. Looking at what option truthfully makes the most sense for me with my goals.

Notes:

I am currently working in a domestic growth PE fund in India. During MBA, I aim to target IB recruitment. Being in NYC seems like a ln advantage (apart from cost of living) for a career in finance, but Tuck’s brand name and close knit community also seems like a leverage especially as an Indian student

Given the current landscape, would love to hear your thoughts.
