Any ways to offset a low gpa (3.45)? I scored a 760 on my gmat but I’m really only aiming for M7 schools. I’m also an Indian male who studied CS at a top ranked Engineering School.

Audit > FDD > t15 MBA > BB IB

Thoughts?

What are the best and easiest EMBA programs to get into?

Also posted over in tech bowl. Looking for advice on whether pursue a CS degree. I’m an older guy shifting to SWE. I finished bootcamp last May & about to start my first jr role at Oracle OCI. Late 30’s with a couple of kids. Is it worth it for me to seek a CS degree at this time/soonish? I’m not afraid of the extra work, and would go part time. Wondering if the eventual payoff would worth the effort. Will I level up quicker? Employer has partial tuition reimb.

Hello Pals - I have 8+ years of exp as business analyst, and consultant. No coding experience, but good in data & reporting. Planning to take a course from Learnbay after reading a lot of reviews in the internet. Its for Data Science Master program - can anyone suggest if they are good and help me make the transition I'm looking for (Feel free to share your choices if any)

Those who were on the fence about going back to school, what pushed you to make the final leap?

This is going to be *the most cliche* thing to come out of this bowl but, I need someone to whoop my ass into studying for the gmat 🙏🏼

What’s the average GMAT score required for booth/Kellogg’s executive MBA ?

What was your experience with the LSAT? Do you think it's gatekeeping, preventing students who can't afford it (often people of color) from entering the field? OR is it helping future attorney's of color by giving them a chance to go to a top school regardless of grades? I've seen questions about the LSAT all day and just want to know how people feel.

Hello, I was in a verbally abusive college relationship and struggled with mental health. Therefore, my gpa suffered greatly (2.9). However, I now have a good job and am doing very well. Should I explain the reason for my low GPA in my MBA app? I’m applying to LBS, Booth, Stanford, UCLA, UCB etc.

Hello, I’m a Physical Therapist (DPT) and am considering going back to school for my MBA. I’m hoping to pivot out of patient care and into a more corporate/leadership role.

Has anyone taken  ACAMS Certified Global Sanctions Specialist (CGSS)? Any comments/ reviews? How has it enhanced your employability? Why did you take the CGSS?

I had very positive feedback on my interviews for a S&O role but the team hired someone internally. If I interview again for a differenr role, would I have to do all the interviews again or can I use some of the scores from previous interviews. I understand doing RRK again makes sense but what about GCA, googlyness or leadership . Thank you

Moving to Boston (South end) with my fiancé and got a 350 sq foot place (newly renovated) for $1450 a month. The place is small but pretty nice.
Just wanted to see if people think I got shafted or reasonable?

Received email from Kellogg about financial aid application. Good sign or goes to everyone?

Guys, on average, how many hours did you study before GMAT test?

Enrolled in Stern for a few weeks.
The number of the alumni and current students that go to top consulting firms FT& summer intern are countless even for a small class size.
Stern is way more than a finance school. Given its location, do you want to spend your 2 years in a rural area or heart of Manhattan? Location is almost everything for business school. (I have a friend in Cornell that frequently travels about 5 hours to NYC for events.)

Does your review ratings at work factor in at all to your application/mba review? Or are the recommendation letters the only insight admissions gets into your work performance?

The GMAT doesn’t have the AWA section until 5/20, right?

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

Is a 710 gmat (q44 v42) worth retaking? I’m a Latin American male working at McKinsey, 4.0 gpa from the top university in my country on a full scholarship. Maybe with a lot of effort I could get my score up to a 730, but I’m not sure if it’s worth the time

Any Asian guys got significant scholarship to t20 schools using the gre, if so what score did you have, I got a 330, worth retaking for a better score if I’m aiming for scholarships?

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!)

How quickly do we have to commit after decisions are released (e.g, for Wharton, Haas, Booth, Columbia, Kellogg)? TIA!

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

Anyone here who made an industry pivot via b school? Curious how you told the story in your applications. My mba “coach” is a bit concerned because I want to pivot into an industry that I don’t have any experience in, and that industry primarily does JIT recruiting. (Primarily biotech/pharma hoping to pivot to luxury / retail)
