Going solo for a wedding, so I don’t need the luxury itinerary planning of a “travel advisor” (& don’t want to pay the fee), but the wedding’s in a small town so handling finding best flight, which airport to fly into, transportation from airport to said small town, etc. plus someone to call during trip if there’s a snaffu. (Would be flying from Philly or Newark if that matters)

I‘m moving to Australia with my partner and we don’t have a bank account and credit cards yet.

Hello Fishes,

I have got my L2 Dependent Visa stamped for the US through the Wife's organization and she has booked the tickets for the both of us in the next weekend. I am currently unallocated in TCS and seeking projects in the same US location as my Wife. Can I travel to the US just like that and then continue my search within TCS from there or do I need any approvals to even fly in the first place?

I am worried because of the time crunch and will be glad to hear some points on this.

How are you all going about continuing to buy index funds while everything is literally green and I see people doubling their investment in such a short amount of time. Feel as I am missing so much money that could’ve been made. But VOO goes up 1% :///

I hope everyone here has a blessed year! In Jesus name! Amen! 🙏🏼

Nothing better than being home. Naked. Watching QAF and thinking how much better working in advertising would be if legit Brian Kinney’s existed

Are chances bad if you are at LEK, OW, Kearney, EYP… ?

How would switching to big 4 tech consulting at 2 YOE look for mba applications? Would it hurt? Looking to matriculate 2023 or 2024 but don't want this move to hurt me if I do it.

Which schools make you report all your GRE scores? I don’t want to take it multiple times if they ask for all the scores

Is a decent GMAT useful for anything other than MBA apps? I was happy with my score but after some soul searching I know an MBA isn’t right for me

Recommender asked me if I wanted to write my LOR and have them sign off. I don’t think it’s a matter of laziness but they wanted to be sure they accurately captured what they needed to. Would you just ask her to run a first pass and offer to review after?

Who applies to HBS in R2? I was surprised to hear the pool is just as large as R1. Any speculation on the strength of the R2 pool this year?

I am not that smart. Got a very low score on ACT (below average). Should I even consider getting a MBA? My firm does offer sponsorship, but taking/studying for GMAT/GRE is already stressing me out.

Graduated 3.4 UGPA in engineering and economics from a non-target school. 3 Years experience. If I am aiming for M7 how much of a stretch is that and what kind of GMAT score?

Does your undergrad school matter to MBA admissions? Does it make a difference if you have a great GPA from a state school or an average GPA from a highly selective school?

So I’m really lucky- top 3 school just X3 my merit scholarship. I had already accepted and paid my deposit- so why would they do this?
To be clear, I’m super glad. This cuts my debt burden almost entirely. But like, why would they do it?

Does anyone else find it absolutely hysterical that people group MBB/FAANG/PE/VC for the prestige-oriented folks and they never include BB IB 🤣

Anecdotally, does it seem like a lot of your peers / international connects are applying this year?

Has tuck stopped sending marketing emails to anyone? I received emails once a week till I applied/interviewed and then silence lol

Let’s talk finances. How are you all paying for this? Loans, I assume, but any strategies?
In early 2021, better to try to max out retirement accounts to maximize financial aid or to just start saving?
200k is so much.

Is there any downside to applying to MIT LGO as opposed to just Sloan? The website says they will consider you for Sloan if you dont get LGO. I want the MBA for sure, but LGO seems like a cool program.

Is it in poor taste to reach out to a professor at a school I already interviewed for but am waiting on a decision from? He used to be a partner at my current firm and we have similar backgrounds so thought it would be helpful to discuss a few things with him

For top schools what is the best round to apply for if you didn't ace the GRE/GMAT?
