I am an MBB (3 YOE) and my boyfriend is a PE associate. We are looking to both apply to b-school at the same time, and both have similar-ish? stats (good GPAs, good extracurriculars, GMAT both 730/740, and top 10 undergrads) - would it be beneficial to apply together? I think the goal is HSW or M7, but was wondering if this would help or hurt us to mention that we are together

I think it may help? Both of you should be competitive (for W and M7) and maybe itll help with yield

From what I’ve heard it helps! It helps show more interest, and couples that go to the same school tend to be bigger donors later in life

It should help - overall, I think they’re more likely to accept together or reject together.

It’s a good idea. Even if it doesn’t boost your admissions odds, it’s good to link yourself in acceptances. Maximises the chance you end up at the same school

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
