I did a bottle of whiskey and a lululemon gift card. About ~$100 each.

Same - nice bottle of cab for the mentors I don’t know as well, nice lululemon gear for those I’m really close to

I sent my recommender personalized Moleskin note books, she loves to write and she really liked it! My other recommender got 2 bottles of wine from my home country, because I know he loves wine - he really liked it too! Both were <$100.

Shocking reality: your GPA and test scores don't make you special.

The reality is that there will be more qualified people applying to HBS or any other top Business schools than they have spots. If you aggregate the number of people from MBB/ banking/Tech/ Military that apply to these firms, I would argue that’s well north of the 50% of these applicants. I can also assume that the people from these backgrounds are likely to have north of a 3.5 GPA due to the selectivity of these careers.

Thoughts on retaking exam?

I need help making up my mind on where to attend.

So I have two offers on the table : Tuck vs Yale SOM. I am getting 40k scholarship from Tuck and nothing from Yale.

I'm planning on going into consulting afterwards and am not sure what school to attend. I know Tuck's group oriented teaching is slightly more geared towards consulting.

What has been making me hesitate is the global presence of what Yale has in its name.

Would you say Yale has almost equal chance of getting into MBB as Tuck?

I got reached out to by UMich Ross Alumni twice to ‘connect’ after giving the interview. Is that a good sign?
