Folks who got interviews at M7 from consulting: what’s the total you paid for MBA admission advising, whether it be on essay or interview prep? Know 4 people that spent $1000s on essay coaching alone (all got invites). Feeling discouraged - undergrad student debt killed money trees.

It amuses me to see that -
Companies sumtym prefer selecting guys who did their bachelor's from some private shitpot college than someone from a very good government college.

If someone has showed grit in past by toiling to get into top 10 colleges - he is going to give company better results in operational efficiency and creativity than a guy who scored 50-60% and spend lakhs for admission without any struggle?

HR guys -do u evn know hw much struggle that is? Do you factor dat in ur decision?
