I have a 3.4 GPA but a C in one Econ class and 1 C in Calculus II but As in other Econ and stats classes. Should I address the Cs in the optional essay?

Don’t make your story revolve around a few grades from 3-5 years ago...

I briefly explained my Cs with a 3.2 gpa in the optional essay. Imo, better to remove all doubt from adcom vs letting their minds wander.

Surveying the crowd: do you all prefer receiving cash gifts or physical gifts from your registry?

We're recently married and got a mix of both, and I can't decide what I want to do for friends' weddings going forward. On the one hand, the cash gifts were incredible and financed our honeymoon. But I also enjoy looking at things around the house and remembering who gave them. I'm curious what everyone thinks!

I'm trying to suss out if a new member of our dept hates me or my team (she manages a different team).

My initial take is she's just hard to read and probably a tightly controlled introvert. My direct report felt she's 'cold as ice,' 'bristling' at our suggestions, and forming a clique that wants to do their own thing with no input from our team. He's triggered very easily, and there was no explicit evidence, just a 'vibe' so I wrote it off. (See 1st comment)

Additional Posts in MBA Applicants

Hi All,

I am in search for a good admission consultant. I am between, Melody Jones (Vantage Point), Donna Baumann (Stratus) and Petia Whitmore (myMBApath). I talked to many other such as Scott, Stacy, Sanford K, mbamission, Fortuna, SquareonePrep, ARINGO, IVY and several other boutique firm( Loubna, Masaki, Sparrey etc.). I am yet to talk to Menlo. Do you have any recommendations regarding these adcons or any other that that you worked with?

Thank you!!!

This is a legit question so don’t hate me just trying to understand if it’s worth it or not. What is the draw of applying to M7? I understand elite status, but based on research the median total comp for an M7 grad is 185k as of 2020 study (2019 data) and the average age of the students in these programs is 27/28. I know going to MBB they have pretty specific comp coming out for M7 grads but outside of those three firms, what is the draw? Trying to justify spending 200k for a degree.
