Anyone apply for MBA sponsorship, get rejected, self fund it anyway, then retroactively convince your firm to reimburse it?

What would incentivize them to reimburse you if they said no the first time around? What new skills have you gotten from the program that would make them want to cover the costs now?

Usually when they reject it, they have formally rejected it. Unless it’s top 10 and therefore increases your marketability, it’s not helpful to the firm.

Someone wins the lottery all the time. So possible? Yes!

Maybe if you graduated Baker’s scholar and had some marketability to executives, otherwise the firms don’t have incentive to retroactively reimburse.

It’s the land of opportunities
