HSW love ex-military. Don't listen to A1. It's all a crapshoot so crush the GMAT and throw your name into the hat.

It’s not a crapshoot, speaking as someone who got into 2 of those 3...

A1 thanks fam 🙏

If you have a good and unique story, HSW is possible - speaking as someone who got into 2 of the 3

The military service goes along way. Reach out to the vets club folks at the schools you are considering! They will provide way better insight into what the school is looking for in candidates, and they are very honest about the admissions process and your chances.

I don’t see HSW happening but put in an app if you really want it. M7 should be doable if you get a 730; I would recommend some of the easier pathways like Columbia ED just bc of the lower GPA

Thanks fam! What’s a good way to explain the low GPA?

I vibe too hard with this answer XD

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
