Hi everyone!!! Last year I put together a list of classrooms to exchange valentines with! We mailed 1 valentine to each class and included a picture if we could, and a few things about where we live and things we do!
I currently have 13 classes signed up! The more the merrier!!
We have classes CA, WI, PA, KS, TX, RI, MI, Canada, New Zealand.

New to Fishbowl?

MBB, unless you now consider the time you spent applying for the MBB spot as a total waste of time. Once you leave consulting, I highly doubt you will come back to the 6am flights, 13 hour days, and client service.
I’m currently doing my MBA and there are two people in my class who had the same problem as you, one had an offer from BCG and the other from McK. Both firms were ok with them finishing their MBA and then joining. Won’t hurt to ask.
Either that or ask Wharton if you can defer the admissions. They should be cool with it because they will know you will have an MBB job as your ‘worst case’ recruiting scenario which is a great problem to have.
Defer admission if possible get an experience and try to get them pay for it :)
MBB unless you have a scholarship to Penn (assume Wharton). If you want to switch careers that might change the calculation.
Just go to Wharton already. You've clearly mostly made up your mind. You're not making a mistake. Have fun!
Opportunity + real cost of those 2 years would be over $500K. That’s an expensive vacation. Take a leave after a few months to travel.
At this point, what would you go to bschool for? Seems like 2-Years at MBB would set you up for better job opportunities than bschool would in most cases.
Join us now. Do MBA in two years with sponsorship
Once you get into a HSW-level B-school, consulting is the path that the insecure wallflowers take because they don’t have the guts to do something meaningful. Go to Wharton and pursue the career you’ve always wanted. Don’t waste two years doing menial work for your clients
@op you can go to b school later, after you get stacks from MBB. At some point, leave MBB and do select consulting on your own while you're in b school, or get some other Masters, if your goal is just networking and break from travel. Only way the MBA will be more profitable will be straight to I banking, pe, or silicon valley (as a founder).
Do MBB for one year. See how it is. Then you can get a 1-year MBA at Insead and come back?
I think OP wants a free pass to party for two years
Do MBB (which is harder to get than Wharton, since people go there to switch to MBB) for a year, deferred 1 year bschool. 29 at bschool is not bad. You get best of both worlds. One year is nothing in your career.
Agree that you should do MBB for a bit - it will provide you with a great network and brand before you go to business school (I’ve heard it helps)
It’s about the exit opps also. If MBB will give you project exposure that you haven’t gotten at Big 4, then that will help you in recruiting at b-school. Some industries weigh “prior experience” heavily at b-school recruiting, so it’s not as much of a clean slate as some folks think it is (mainly financial sector - VC, HF, PE, etc - which is all still a reach from consulting vs banking but still)
What role in MBB? The post-ugrad or post-mba? If post-mba may as well just do MBB (which is a position many people go to bschool to get) especially since you don't have clear post-mba plans.
If post-ugrad, may make more sense to go to bschool now or just defer admission by 1y.
Anyways, thanks strangers! Added a few more points to my pro/con list and it’s leaning mbb. Have a great Sunday :)
@P1 true.. can’t see myself voluntarily coming back to consulting lifestyle, been 5 years of this already. I can probably squeeze another 2 in before burnout. Which in that case, what is worth more - two years of MBB on a resume, or an MBA to transition to next endeavor?
I'll turn it around on you -- if you decline UPenn now and spend 1-2 years at mbb, so you think you could submit grad school apps that could beat out your current ones?
Wharton MBA is pretty tight. Your grades don't matter as long as you pass and you just drink all the time.
