Taking GMAT in 4 weeks. Target schools in order are 1) NYU 2) Columbia 3) MIT 4) Haas. Rank blasphemy I know but I want exposure to luxury retail industry. What score as an Asian American would you call safe / no retake required? Right now I’m thinking 730+ but would like other thoughts. Also, should I reschedule and push out? For reference, I scored a practice exam 600 4 weeks ago and 700 2 weeks ago. Doing a 3rd practice exam this weekend after honing on probability and tricky geometry

I just took a sabbatical because of the crazy work load last few months. What can I do in this time to upgrade my professional skills.

Let’s talk Work-Life Balance. It’s a phrase we hear all the time but never really break down what it means to us or what it really looks like. Jeff Bezos is famous for saying that Work-Life balance doesn’t exist and that it’s all just really a circle of trade-offs. For me, it means that I take the time to enjoy the things I like to do and don’t completely make myself about my work. How would you define WLB?

Is it a horrible idea to date someone you work with? This guy and I have been friends for about a year now and my girlfriends/coworkers think he's really into me. I find him attractive and know he's a good guy - too risky to ask him out for a drink? I'm worried if it goes badly our friendship and working relationship will be messy. Not trying to turn my life into an episode of Grey's Anatomy if I can help it.
