Any experience with MBAs at SKY schools in Korea (SNU, Yonsei, KU)? Is it worth it? Difficulty of getting in?

I feel that only Koreans understand the value from those schools. If you plan to work/live in Korea, then yes, it’s worth it. If not, going to a top tier business schools in the US would be of more value.

The class size tends to be tiny, i believe. The competition did not sound bad though. One data point but my college buddy (who was working in one of the chaebol business units) went to one of those programs full time and had to settle for a job he wouldn’t have left his old job for. Just One data point

Got a GRE score of 320 (162V 158Q). Did my masters from A&M (full scholarship, 3.8 GPA, journal publications. Have been working as a consultant for a small tech consulting firm for the past 1 year and was considering a MBA + Law or Public Policy masters dual degree program. My scores are still valid for atleast 1 year. Aiming for M7 or Oxbridge in Europe. Would using this GRE score be realistic for the school given I've just 1 YOE and my quant was lower. I'm an ORM International student fyi

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad.

It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school
