How do you pick schools when your test score is borderline and December deadlines leave no room for retakes? I’m trying to decide if I should submit the score I have or push for January and risk missing Round 2. I don’t want to gamble the whole cycle away. What would you do?

Can you not just get your application in and prepared and then put a retake right at the end before the deadline (incase you need)
Apply to a range of schools you would be happy with depending on where you land?

My GRE was lower than averages and I applied anyways in R1. Starting to hear back and actually received scholarship from a M7. I’d say go for it! You never know

Get your applications ready then retake. You are more than your test score! Evaluations are holistic.

You can always retake the exam after the deadline and send an update.

Fellow P&T Directors - here’s a thread for us to discuss what we are hearing/not hearing with regards to PCLDE and the making of new partners in P&T.

On every call, we hear Joe talk about making new Partners and his commitment. I have yet to see any of those ‘commitments’ be reflected in actions or explanations. (eg. No senior directors from commercial GTM going into PCLDE this year …) What?

Do they really think we’re going to ‘stick around’ until they ‘figure it out’ …

Or is an MBA sooner a good move because of my big career transition (and future lateral)?

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!

My colleagues
Just to put some intro
I am 22 years after college experience and worked in consulting for 15 years and currently in industry for 7 years.
My long term goal is to go back to consulting more of a business advisor from a strategy perspective
Here is my question
Would MBA be any good for me especially looking at strategy side?
I don’t want to spend $200K and would probably go online MBA in a mid tier school. Are those any good?
Looking forward to your great input on this topic
