Anyone have any suggestions for accounting, finance, or data analysis books or online material to prepare for an MBA? I’m accepted to LBS but my background is in entrepreneurship so I know a lot of random stuff but I want to be prepared for the required core courses.

You’ll be fine. I went to LBS and literally had zero business background in the workforce and via coursework and didn’t struggle. You should be spending your time relaxing, looking forward to the program, and pursuing your hobbies.

Graduated undergrad in ‘18 from a non target with a 3.9, currently 3 full years under my belt, and feeling ready to start preparing for the application process. My plan for 2021 entails 1) GMAT/GRE study materials, 2) Increase involvement in extracurriculars 3) Begin the scholarship hunt - not necessarily in that order. Does anyone have tips/feedback on my approach/timing before I get started? Thanks!

Shocking reality: your GPA and test scores don't make you special.

The reality is that there will be more qualified people applying to HBS or any other top Business schools than they have spots. If you aggregate the number of people from MBB/ banking/Tech/ Military that apply to these firms, I would argue that’s well north of the 50% of these applicants. I can also assume that the people from these backgrounds are likely to have north of a 3.5 GPA due to the selectivity of these careers.
