Enrolled: Undecided

Admitted: Berkeley / Haas , Columbia $

$60000

Applied: Berkeley / Haas, Columbia, UPenn / Wharton

Entering Year: 2021

Post MBA Career: Technology, Asset Management, inc. Hedge Funds

GMAT: 740

GPA: 3.9

Notes:

Was considering Haas for tech. But CBS offered a decent scholarship and I feel like it offers more opps. to recruit for other industries. I'm interested in FinTech but also considering IM as I have a lot of experience working with buy-side shops in an advisory role. Will probably enroll at CBS. Waitlisted at Wharton.

grichmond Verified User. Likes Earned: 1150 Congrats on your offers! CBS is indeed very strong in FinTech (and IM), so that, coupled with the scholarship $$, does seem to tip the scales a bit. Best of luck on your MBA journey!
