Note:

Got in with 130k scholarship! Soo happy. God is too good! Was also admitted to Darden and Ross too but I’ll ultimately matriculate at CBS. I am a re-applicant after being put on the post-interview waitlist in R2 earlier this year (I did everything I could to move the needle - got letters of support, engaged with them, retook GRE, took MBA math - but was subsequently rejected in May 2025). Decided to share my testimony here, especially for anyone navigating this process (admission or waitlist). Don’t relent! Pray to God! You’ll get results for all the hard work! Through the grace of God, I did this as a non-traditional applicant! It is still so surreal to me.
