How would you rank in order of prestige/ease of getting in: UCLA, Cornell, and NYU ??

Looking to transition to MBB if that matters.

Stern, Anderson, Cornell. Feel like it’s close with Anderson and Johnson though and I’m from west coast so also have slight bias

TBH going to any of these is a risky move if your sole goal is MBB. None are strong feeders.

Hm I guess I was wrong 🤷🏻‍♂️ guess you could do MBB from Stern and Anderson. And McKinsey/Bain from Johnson. But still stands that maybe 10 max will get offers and everyone will be shooting for it

I’d agree with EY1 and I’m on the East Coast. Johnson just doesn’t have the strong reputation and is surrounded by business school giants

My total experience is around 7+ years and am currently working in a MNC from the past 4 years. I was planning to make a switch to some other company but recently my manager has mentioned to me in person and as well as on my appraisal feedback (in writing) that I will be nominated for the H1B visa in the coming cycle. This was in July 2022. Should I be worried that it won't happen or should I start looking for the switch.?

For those who have passed the CIPM exam, what is it like (and how does it compare to the CIPP/US exam)?

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?

I have been looking at the curriculums for Harvard Business School's Master of Business Administration and Harvard Extension School's ALM in Management. They both have the same requirements (generally speaking) including a capstone course that serves as a field immersion course with the Master's in Management, which is fairly new. If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?
