There is no minimum score, everything has a certain weightage (in some cases it is explicit in others it is not)

For example a friend has a 630 GMAT who works at McKinsey but at same time has very good experience (8 years in pharma and health care , lot of promotions, very impactful work)

On the other hand I have a 760 , 3.8/4 and very average work ex (no big name company, couple of promotions) and I still interviewed with M and landed a job at K

How crucial are extra-curriculars/community involvement when applying to HSW/MIT/Booth? I'm MBB 4 years and have had literally no time to do meaningful / impactful extra-curriculars. This is mainly driven by tougher than average cases and gunning for fast-track promotions.

When people talk about ECs in the context of MBB applicants/other jobs where you work long hours, what do they mean? I'm struggling to understand 'what is expected' of applicants in this pool. Anyone got advice? Thank you!!!

I know that I am being underpaid. Have been with the company 6 years, have my MBA, and make a little more than new hires in the current market.

Have discussed this and shared my benchmarking with my direct management and HR. They keep telling me to “be patient” (for the opportunity that is ahead of me) & that “life is unfair”.

After 6 years I’m tired of being patient.

I also love my job duties, my coworkers and my boss (who I’ve had for less than a year).

My partner threatened to leave me if I don't stop working because I'm completely overtaxed and have become a nightmare to be around, and we don't need the money. This is obvious a terrible thing for them to say, but it was in the moment and they expressed they didn't mean it as a real threat afterwards. Other than telling me they should go to therapy, should I be considering taking time off? I love my job and sometimes I think it's actually the only thing that's providing a modicum of sanity.
