For those who've already submitted apps, did you tailor your resume per school or use the same one? I'm undecided because some programs seem to care more about my startup experience, while others might value my corporate background more. Thoughts?

Same resume for me but I definitely renamed each PDF to include the specific school

like

No idea. I got interviews at 4/6 schools I applied to. Can’t ascribe that to naming the PDF but I feel that it’s just a little detail that shows intentionality about the application to that school and maybe suggests to that school that I did in fact customize the resume for them

like

I tailored it. Not too heavily but a few tweaks here and there. For example, Sloan is very quant-focused/minimalistic while GSB values more the introspective side of things.

When would be the right time for me to get an MBA given my background?

I was a teacher for 4 years and transitioned into the corporate world. I have 6 months experience in marketing and that’s what I currently do, but plan for a lateral move in the future. I’ve seen suggestions of 3-7 years experience - does my teaching experience factor in? Or should I consider the 3-7 years only of my corporate time? Or is an MBA sooner a good move because of my big career transition (and future lateral)?

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!
