Depends on your race/gender

Disagree. I got a near full scholarship from 2 M7s as a half Asian male with a 740 and 3.85 gpa. Did not have stellar extracurricular, but put a lot of personalization into the essays

Should I renege offer from MBB?

An MBA recent grad. I signed with MBB last year. However, I have always wanted to do tech PM. I couldn’t find PM job in Fall and just signed MBB offer I have. I recently got an FAANG offer. It’s PM function, hard to break in with consulting experience. I declined the new offer during interview stage and again after they gave me initial offer, but it is coming back with 80k more in annual compensation. It made me so torn!! Should I renege MBB offer?
