Why do you want to get an MBA?

I got into Anderson last year and I have similar/worse stats: 3.3 GPA from state school, 710 GMAT, female. Not underrepresented minority, not first gen. Cool stories from working overseas though. I ended up picking a lower-ranked school with easier academics bc I didn't want to study that much 😉

dd1 why do you ask

OP will get an MBA, spend $150k and two years to earn 25% more 🙄

Amen BA1. You'll have to sell why you want to go back for an MBA and why the program you are picking. In addition, to the obvious question of why you vs. another candidate.

What’s URM?

Under represented minority

Since when did Anderson become top25? It was top15 when I went there. Sad

It still is Top 20, much higher if you want to work in California.

Shoot for top 10. My stats were about the same and did top ten and 1st gen. Do you have a good story?

I have an interesting family background so unique motivation for why I want to go into business

I tried asking this in my own bowl with no responses, so seeing if other consultants have run into this situation. I’m on parental leave, I got an offer for another firm, great opportunity and pay. How does one go about a resignation mid-leave when you would start the new job before the leave ends? Two weeks notice or just say I am not returning effective the day of the new job? Any things to consider besides potentially repaying the employer healthcare premium?
