are you paying full tuition?
As it should... I don't know that I did the right thing financially, but it made sense to me for my personal goals. But I realize that I'm very fortunate to have applied from where I came from and that in a lot of cases the MBA just doesn't make sense without significant scholarship money.
Mind if I DM you? I’d love to pick your brain. Applying R1 fall 2022
Consulting was my first career stop. It was a long time ago for me!
Just want your thoughts on my profile. But confused whether i should apply or not in MIT sloan

Do you think i can get a interview call?
I wish I could answer these types of questions, but the reality is that I don't know nearly enough about adcoms' decision criteria to weigh in accurately (and I suspect they themselves can't be sure who will get in or not in any given year beyond very obvious candidates). The best advice that I can give to you is to apply. Best of luck!
Hello hello
I’m applying for a PhD so a tad different but what prep course did you take? I’m clueless.
With respect to standardized testing? I didn't use any prep courses unfortunately
2 questions:
First I’m an International student, have a GRE score of 336, undergrad GPA of 3.83. ECs - first responder on the side, multiple pro bono consulting projects, tutoring FGLI students for AP courses and SAT. I’m applying to Sloan and HSW. I think I have a decent chance at getting into one of these, but how do I stand with regards to funding?
Second question is about recruiting for PE - as someone who comes from a consulting background and not IB, what can give me a leg up when recruiting for PE from a non conventional background? I’m assuming more finance oriented courses but is there anything else that you think can help?
Similar to another poster above, I unfortunately am not in a position to judge competitiveness for admission or scholarships - I really encourage you to apply to everything that you can find within reason! MBAs are expensive, and you should always shoot your shot when it comes to programs and funding.
To your second question: I am probably speaking more for U.S. markets than anything else, but a fairly ironclad rule of thumb of private equity is that you need to do PE pre-MBA to get in post-MBA. There's a few reasons for this, but the bottom line is that if you're sure that you want to do PE after business school or just want to keep the option open, you really should do it beforehand.
Hey there! Applied R1 last year and got interviewed. Didn’t get in post-interview. Working in social impact consulting now & want to aim for fall 2023 class. My goal is consulting — any advice on how to tailor my app? Thanks!
Thank you, OP! Really appreciate the candor

What was the hardest school to say no to (assuming you had multiple admissions offers)?
Again, I want to caveat this with the fact that I only applied to three schools (see my response to the first post above) because I came from, and would be likely to go back to, an investing background. So take my answer with a massive pinch of salt.
I only got into Wharton, so I never got the chance to choose between schools. Having said that, I view it as a massive blessing in disguise that I didn't get into HBS. I love having flexibility in my course selection and schedule, Friday's off, and having a generally less intense academic environment. For me, that's translated into being able to spend more time working on the things I'm interested in (e.g., working part-time and meeting a lot of different people) rather than being sucked into the section-oriented, academic heavy culture that HBS seems to have.
Having said that, I do wish that I'd gotten into GSB - I definitely admire the culture and entrepreneurial drive that they have there, and I generally love California. I'll never know what it's like to be at Stanford, but I do think I would've fit in there (although I fit in perfectly here at Wharton, so no sweat one way or the other).
Of the other schools - really respect the MIT environment, although they're less entrepreneurial than people think they are (surprising, though that may pick up eventually), and of course if you love economics like I do, you have to respect Booth.
Bottom line - I'm stating the obvious, but go talk to people who attend each school and get an honest assessment of the pros / cons. Make sure that you dig deeper beyond the easy talking points - to give you an example, Wharton has a very entrepreneurial culture and has produced great startups, but very heavily weighted towards e-comm / D2C (some exceptions in health-tech like PatientPing, Trusted Health, etc. and one-offs like CommonBond and General Assembly). For somebody like me who is much more enterprise / B2B, the entrepreneurial environment doesn't translate as strongly, even though it's encouraging to be around a lot of similarly driven people.
