Folks who went through OCR via their MBA program, what are the potential repercussions of reneging on an offer both before and / or after you graduate?

I wished I reneged. I asked around, got concerned I’d tarnish the schools brand and future students prospects at recruitment, so I didn’t.

Exploding offer

Reneging was talked about like it was a mortal sin while in school. Outside that bubble, I think if the opportunity is worth it to you, you should do it. One of my classmates reneged on a B4 consulting offer and had to pay a fine and write an apology letter to a bunch of people but the choice she ultimately made got her to her dream job a couple years later. So do what’s best for you!

Which school?

Depends on the school. I went to an M7 school for MBA and they had very strict no reneging policy, with no alumni privileges and cash penalty. It’s better to check with your CMC.

Both the companies and the university has a strong interest in creating a strong bond. A school with lots of renegs would be moved off of target school lists.

Collectively candidates benefit, of course with less individual flexibility

Would have to finance the whole thing myself. Current net worth is 140k. Thoughts?
