had a friend in this pile a few years back i believe. ended up going to wharton. his stats:
27M
3.8-3.9 GPA big ten school, liberal arts major
ROTC, 4+ years military, commissioned officer, did time overseas, xo for his company, learned arabic
GMAT 780

another friend of his from the military had nearly the exact same profile and actually matriculated at HBS, so very hard to tell what the difference was

Are you paying for bridesmaid hair and make-up? Was a little sticker shocked $200 per person before gratuity, just adds up quickly with that many people😬 Not requiring it but wanted to offer it if they want to be more glammed up, but now seeing online that’s it’s considered quite rude to not cover it for them? Maybe just cover one and they can do the other if they want? Don’t want to be rude if it’s expected but also don’t want to blow our budget… any perspective on the “norm” appreciated!
