Hi all, I was wondering if I’d be a good candidate for a T7 MBA. Currently an Associate Director in industry (BD valuations), but all my mentors were just laid off and I’m experiencing a bit of personal crisis. Targeting finance post-grad. I currently don’t have any test scores nor recs, but I was wondering if it’d be worth it to sprint for R2 or R3.

I’d do a couple for r2 if you can. R3 is incredibly difficult and you need an all star profile. I did a similar sprint a few years ago and wouldn’t recommend normally but with the right structure, you can definitely do it

Happy wife happy life is a really toxic saying. I’m just shocked how this has become the standard saying for men in relationships. I have friends of mine saying this all the time, and I have just thought it’s so cringe and always want to say my thoughts on it but always decide to hold back. However, imagine the saying reversed - happy husband happy life - that would lead to all kinds of uproar. To me happy wife happy life means I need to sacrifice my wants and needs to make my wife happy.
