You need a killer GMAT score playa

Following, except I had a 3.2 UG 😟

Definitely possible. There are quite a few relatively mundane profiles at M7 and IMO your profile is better than "mundane" for sure. The fact that you have some non consulting experience helps differentiate you from the typical boring consultant too.

Get a 730+ GMAT

I had a 3.8 and a 730 and got into multiple M7s, so yes. Just figure out your story

Ya you probably can but in my current class at an M7, it’s basically only MBB sponsored people who have 3 years of experience. So odds aren’t on your side unless there’s something really powerful about your app

3 YOE at matriculation

I would gently push back on the idea that you have to be MBB to get into an M7. I literally don’t know anyone from OW who has gone to a non-M7 school and I got into three of them 🤷🏻‍♂️

I totally agree. You absolutely do not need MBB lol. My post was regarding my personal experience of what I’ve seen in school for people with only 3 years of experience. There’s not that many of us, and most of us seem to have MBB experience, which anecdotally makes me think it’s not all that common, but obviously still totally reasonable to come from T2

Not true that only MBB sponsored folks have 3 YOE. Tons come in to bschool at all top programs from different backgrounds and majority are 3-4. Crush your gmat, you’ll be good.

I keep hearing that Booth’s MBA program is rigorous (maybe the most rigorous out of M7). That said, how much more work are students expected to do compared to HBS, Wharton, Kellogg, etc.? I don’t know if this is an outdated opinion, considering a lot of MBAs are very demanding. Booth is personally my top choice for having a flexible curriculum & 2-3 days of classes. But I really want to know what to expect around the “rigorous” label. Does it mean I’ll be buried in coursework the other 2-3 days?
