Just to add to my post: I’ve been in touch with an admission consultant who charges 500 euros/hour on a basis of 45 hours. This is just to apply to 2 MBAs. Do you agree that the cost is exorbitant or is it the normal price on the market ?

Also negotiate a success fee based model rather than a pure time and material contract.
This way the consultant has skin in the game and is incentivized to get you into your preferred schools rather than just run the clock on you.

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.

For context, I want to get into product management at FAANG/fintech with pursuing MBB as a plan B. Thanks in advance!
