I am planning on applying to HS but I’m hesitant about W vs INSEAD. I am not sure where I want to move post MBA (Europe vs US vs ME vs Asia) and so I’m looking at the most “global” name and network. Any advice on W vs INSEAD?

Apply to both? Can be a bit of a crapshoot, so admissions might make your decision for you

All of them, unless you are so confident you can get 1/3 with your current background. Realistically these are THE top 4 b- schools in the world and will help you reach 99.9% of your goals around the globe. If you don’t reach your goal it won’t be because you went to INSEAD and not GSB lol

I’d say INSEAD is slightly better than Wharton for Europe. But Wharton is a lot better than Insead in the US. So if you really have no clue, the weighted average suggests Wharton would be better for you.

If you are starting as an Audit Associate some time from now with Deloitte or any of the big 4, do they expect you to have passed/completed all 4 parts by the time you start? Received the Becker Reimbursement email from the recruiter not too long ago but have yet to start. I’ve seen plenty of people get to Senior at a big 4 firm without the CPA so I am a bit confused in that aspect. Any helpful feedback will be very much appreciated.

How would you rate your ratios for work, play, and rest?

My life's mostly been 85% work/serious stuff (includes academia), 10% rest, and 5% play.

I've only started to learn to rest more this year and learning to accept lower productivity (was part of the hustle culture).

Q: How do I learn the concept of play? Didn't have that in my childhood growing up. All serious, no fun. Has anyone transitioned successfully?

I feel like a boring, old lady 😔😒

Yale SOM (no $) or Johnson with a full ride? Goal is consulting (not MBB or bust but MBB is the target) in New York City. Will have to take out nearly full tuition loan for Yale. Concerned about Johnson’s strength in consulting placement even for T2; seems to have mixed reviews. Could also reapply this fall and add Tuck and Kellogg to the mix but unsure if it’s worth the risk as this fall may be very competitive.

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?

Feel like I won’t be ready for R2 this year, any downside in waiting until R1 next year with a much stronger application (ample time to write essays, improve GMAT, etc)?
