Job transition question: I recently accepted an offer for a new role with Merrill Lynch, the following day I was fired from my previous employer. I haven’t filled out the updated work history background check info yet. The reason for termination was due to performance expectations not being met. Should I reach out to my new employer and let them know that I’ve been terminated? Should I just put the termination update on the background check form and leave it at that? Wondering what I should do.

Are your students talking about it?

Hey guys, need some advice. I was fortunate enough to get the Consortium fellowship at Ross but am also stuck on the CBS waitlist and am still planning to apply to Wharton in R3. Assuming I get into CBS/Wharton, is there that much of a difference between them to forgo scholarship money? For context, I want to get into product management at FAANG/fintech with pursuing MBB as a plan B. Thanks in advance!

Hey all, when you’re in the semester is it possible to miss a couple days of classes? My friends are planning a trip that wouldn’t be during one of the breaks and I’d def like to join them

Context: 760 GMAT, MBB (with earlier Corp. experience), not a great GPA in my BA but 4.0-equivalent in my MSc, good ECs. EU-based

Thought on wearing nice (like branded) jewelry during interviews? Don’t want to come off as like rich but want to be polished

What time does Wharton release interview decision tmrw? And how does scheduling work? Anyone know the interview period? Thanks!

Are gsb invites done?

Does anyone else find it absolutely hysterical that people group MBB/FAANG/PE/VC for the prestige-oriented folks and they never include BB IB 🤣

Are we secretly being judged on how many of these admissions events we are attending / if we are participating?

In one month is my mid term review.. Should I let my mentor know I'm applying for mba this year now or should I wait till after the review session? I'm afraid mentioning going to b school would hurt my "fast promotion". What's your guy's experience? :)

Is it viewed as “not good” to go back to my alma mater for MBA? It’s a top 40 business school and got me into B4 consulting easily. School has strong recruiting presence in the region I want and I have a full ride for their FT program. Appreciate any thoughts!

Accenture tech consultant vs KPMG Management consulting for top MBA exit in a few years? Which one will look better?

Does an MBA (US) make sense for me? Male, Indian, Age 32, Married working in tech consulting with 10 YOE. Base is $165 with steady increases and bonus is typically 15%. I eventually do want to cross the $300K threshold but I know stopping work for 2 years and getting and MBA probably won’t get me a $300K job right away. Becoming a manger in my current company/path will probably get me there in terms of TC. Also considering EMBA from a good school (Wharton Global, Duke, Kellogg, Booth).

If my UG gpa was within the range, but I had a D- in a programming class, would I be asked about it specifically?
