Tell your friend to apply. Admission is such a crap shoot and 50% of it comes down to luck.

I believe you meant HSW (alphabetically)

Yeah my fault. I’m not in the B school pool yet so my bad lol. He’s taken exam 4 times doesn’t know what to do. any advice on what I can even tell him

Athlete and has volunteer work

Yea definitely apply. Maybe get the GMAT up a bit if he can, but if his experience/story demonstrates he’s a good profile for a megafund then the score might not matter as much

Absolutely

Definitely apply. Could be all or nothing or something in between at HSW since it’s super competitive and you never know what the adcoms might end up liking in one candidate or the other.

I work in PE now. That GMAT is pretty low amongst the folks that I know especially for males (would’ve been true in consulting too). Also depends on which firm he works for and his deal experience - obviously the better known and the more deals he’s done / companies he’s sold, the better.

I’ve just started my career 2 years back and I really want to have an international exposure. I don’t want to change my career path and stick to consulting. The only options I have is:

2. Start applying to other countries for job. But I’m not sure on which countries have opportunities since my overall experience is just 2 years.
Would love to hear your suggestions.
