MBA DecisionWire

I applied in R2 to CBS, Kellogg, SOM, Haas, Stern, Anderson, KF, and McDonough. Waitlisted at McDonough, Anderson, and Stern and rejected everywhere else. Applied to Goizueta, Owen, and McCombs as safety schools in R3/4 and was waitlisted at Goizueta/Owen. I plan to remain on the waitlists in the interim but 90% chance I'll be headed to DC.

I have received a waitlist decision from USC Marshall , any tips on how I can change that to an acceptance?

Just got off Fuqua waitlist today. Really between LBS and Fuqua. Many pros and cons to both, I am open to staying in Europe after MBA for a while but want to come back to US at some point. I think London offers a lot of advantages compared to Durham. Seems from comparing employment reports that LBS does better at MBB and think PE is possible.

Coming from an Asian background, I had a EU&USA mixed application strategy. Got admitted early from Oxibridge and later from Emory with $, but was waitlisted at Cornell . Looking forward to work in either USA or Europe for few years after. Now deciding between Cambridge and Emory, while also waiting waitlist decision from Cornell

I've already sent my deposit for Stern, but just got accepted at CBS (R2FE). I really like the vibe of the Sternies I've met, and I live much closer to Stern (not able to move). Eventually I'd like to end up on the West coast, so I am drawn to the large network of CBS, but worried the culture might not be as good of a fit as Stern. Any insights?

I think I'd like to eventually end up back in Texas but want to go wherever the best opportunity is right after school.

Waitlisted at NYU Stern and CBS. Accepted off the waitlist at Duke Fuqua. Rejected from UCLA Anderson.

Opted to take the Executive Assessment for my applications.

Updating from previous post. Got another 5k/year from McCombs, will be enrolling there. Can't justify the 50k difference in tuition between the two. I grew up in Austin and would like to work there full time after graduation. I think it'll still give me a shot at MBB, but am open to other companies as well.

Haven't decided but leaning to CBS due to its location and more recognized brand internationally. I want to spend few years in NYC post-MBA to pursue career in finance. My long-term goal is PE but I will probably start from IB. I am also planning to come back to Asia later on. Do I make the right decision by choosing CBS?

Applied R3 with 3 years of experience at matriculation. Did not have high expectations so super excited to get in to both schools with $. Hopefully I can negotiate with UT to get some additional $, would like to go there if I do.

Which school open more opportunity to enter MBB in Asia? and which school has stronger alumni network worldwide?

Is it possible at these schools to pivot Into finance? Should I wait a year and apply to M7 or is the gap not that big?
