You’ll get into some of the schools in the 10-15 range. If you get your gmat to 750 then we’re talking M7. But really solid shot at Cornell caliber schools with your profile as-is.

Don’t listen to the M7 or bust crowd. Doubt any of them actually went to an M7. Any T15 can be great choice depending on your goals. I see no harm in applying this year if you are ready.

M7/LBS/INSEAD or bust. Wait a year, then apply

I see! Just worried about the increased competitveness this year unlike normal years i guess - would those predictions still hold true given larger/more competitve pool this year?

Def wait. You have time on your side. Why not wait and give them an application they can’t refuse!

For next year my goal increased by 2.5X, and less of what I bring in counts towards that target. I really enjoy my job but I will essentially be getting a large pay cut. Lost in what to do besides quit??
