Anyone else feeling extremely burned out? I can’t even bring myself to prep for my Wharton TBD tomorrow because I feel so worn out. Between work and all of these interviews… not to mention all of the essays I wrote before. It’s a shame Wharton is my last interview, because I am running on fumes and feel like I care a lot less (since I am sitting on an acceptance)

I totally empathize with you OP. It’s really rough and catches up to you. Just give your 100% tomorrow so you have no regrets and then you’ll be done and can take the time you need to recharge. Congratulations on your acceptance as well!

You got this man. I felt this same way at one point, then I told myself, you got this one chance to flip your narrative, and it’s only ONE more day. Think about it, if Wharton is your top choice and you didn’t get it, you’d end up thinking about the what ifs💪💪

Same… HBS interview is my last one and I feel quite burnt out to prepare

This was me last week… was accepted at my top choice and Wharton was a reach school. Honestly the TBD can only be prepped for so much

That’s my general understanding… some of the people in my group with the “worst” ideas didn’t want to budge… so ultimately it was about trying to facilitate and get to something that resembled consensus. But that is just my view along with ppl I spoke with

Same. Different situation than most here; deferred MBA applicant. Deadlines are in April and I’ve yet to take an official GMAT (rescheduled several times) and haven’t gotten serious work in my essays yet😪

You got this OP. Keep in mind Wharton is a league above CBS tho so try your best & good luck!

Totally feel you and I felt the same for round 1! My advice is to find a group of people to practice Wharton TBD together for a couple of times! Don’t worry too much about Wharton TBD and just be yourself and get familiar with the format. Good luck!

You got this!! I’m down to prep together if you want? I need an accountability partner for my booth / Wharton interviews

Yep

Hi Team, Can someone advise on this - I completed 2 rounds with Infosys, 1 technical and 1 managerial.

Are there other schools that come to mind that I should be seriously considering as well? Tough to find online research on this topic. (Note: not considering h/s/w cuz competition)
