I’m wrapping up MBA Launch now, happy to answer Qs if I can!

NPS?
- Went to an all girls school K-12, lead my firm’s women’s affinity network, so was drawn to a women-focused organization and mission. Excited about meeting fellow launchers/current students and alums with similar perspective
- “expert office hours” and the network. You get added to an online website where you can search out current students and alums at basically any school. Makes networking and info gathering easier with forte in common. There’s also mandatory “office hours” each month and most of the slots are like admissions consultants trying to pitch you but if you’re diligent you can snag time with some pretty in demand ad com representatives. Have decent rapport with ad com reps from two of my top three schools via forte office hours
- most of the webinars were, honestly, a waste of time. I love my peer group but we didn’t actually end up swapping resumes or essays or tips - we were all “last minute flurry” types.


The network is super helpful but by the end i was ticking off webinars without actually watching. Not very helpful. And the list of schools who actually give app fee waivers doesn’t include a lot of biggies, no surprise, so that ultimately didn’t help me much.

If I end up with a Forte fellowship out of this, though, then it will have been totally worth it. Will report back.

Gave an interview with Accenture. I already have an offer from a very good product based startup of 14 LPA. Told the Accenture hr the same and she then rolled out an offer of 10 LPA.. So basically wasted 2 days of my previous time in the entire Accenture recruitment process, which is lengthy tedious and the outcome was being lowballed to another level. What to do. Should I give a piece of my mind to the HR or ask for more.
