I have been in management for the past 8 years and part of large corporations. I just recently joined a small organization that I have wanted to be a part of for the past 2 years, accepted the role of general manager. This organization knew that I don’t have general manager experience, no payroll experience, no experience setting prices, no purchasing experience and today, 6 days after starting, I have been asked to step down due to not being confident that I will be ready in 3 weeks…

Automatic red flag to have an engagement kickoff just before the holidays, receive emails at all hours of the day (to include weekends/holidays), be told there’s a lot to do but “it’ll be a great opportunity”, and then be told leadership wants people to prioritize work life balance? Figured I’d be looking for an exit soon, but this just pushed it up.

Don't know how to choose BTW Kellogg and Booth. Want to be done at the end of the week

I am not that smart. Got a very low score on ACT (below average). Should I even consider getting a MBA? My firm does offer sponsorship, but taking/studying for GMAT/GRE is already stressing me out.

Did anyone notice that the Kellogg application doesn’t ask for race? How come? I’m happy but it just seems strange.

Anyone knows a safe TOEFL score for H/S? I know they have a minimum score, but what score you think you don't need to improve once you reach that? Thanks!! 🙂

For those of you that are targeting tech at Kellogg/Booth, are you looking to end up in the west coast? I’m most interested in tech, but bummed out that more folks from those schools don’t land in tech companies in Chicago or NYC

Hey guys, need some advice. I was fortunate enough to get the Consortium fellowship at Ross but am also stuck on the CBS waitlist and am still planning to apply to Wharton in R3. Assuming I get into CBS/Wharton, is there that much of a difference between them to forgo scholarship money? For context, I want to get into product management at FAANG/fintech with pursuing MBB as a plan B. Thanks in advance!

Truly can not focus on not thinking about hbs decisions

Is it true that I have a realistic shot at HSW coming from Eastern Europe with following stats:
- median undergrad GPA at European non target engineering school but turned around performance in masters
- 700 GMAT but took it while working at McK
+ graduated with distinction in MSc engineering
+ top bucket McK BA, backed by strong referrals
+ 3 extracurricular leadership positions

I have my table of avg GMAT and all.. but for a 25 year old white male in big4 from a big 10 school with a 3.5 GPA. How high of a score do I need for INSEAD/LBS/M7? Background feels just a bit generic

Trying to do some initial research on laptops for business school and trying to determine if a new Mac book pro could be used at Wharton (or honestly any school!) for finance (not quant finance major though!)

Any tips, tricks for GMAT and using Magoosh effectively? I’m a month-ish out of test day, and using Magoosh... my practice test says 660 (although I did much higher on GMAT math than Magoosh math).

Hi
Would love to get your opinion on this-
I am planning on applying to business school this year in round 1 and round 2. I am in india working at D. I have received an offer to work with another big 4 in London as manager with their consulting team starting June. The role is definitely a step up in terms of responsibilities from my current role as a senior consultant. Do you think it might hamper my business school application changing jobs so close to round 1? Have been at D for 4 yrs

So I was supposed to have an in person interview. Right before the interview I noticed that The interviewer rejected the invite she sent me - I emailed to ask but no reply. I went anyway and am just waiting for her to show up... but she isn't showing up... what should I do lol

I know the stats HS provide on need based aid. But how does it really work? Could you lie in terms of your assets and potentially what you make. How would a background check uncover those.

Is it ok to take a gap year premba? How would that appear to future employers?

Anyone finished the interview with Kellogg Round 2? Will the decisions be released earlier for 1Y program?

How would switching to big 4 tech consulting at 2 YOE look for mba applications? Would it hurt? Looking to matriculate 2023 or 2024 but don't want this move to hurt me if I do it.

Is Kellogg brand equally recognized in the business world as MIT? Or does MIT have the upper hand?
