Any kind folks willing to give some advice? Trying to figure out short and long term post MBA goals for my application. I’m currently in strat/ops consulting, work in fintech/payments. I really ultimately want to do fintech VC as my long term goal, but don’t have startup or IB experience. What’s a realistic short-term goal for my story? IB? Fintech startup like a Stripe? Or corporate dev/M&A at a larger FS company? I’m honestly open to all of these, but don’t want to seem unfocused in my app.
Where do you work?
It’s hard but doable from what I hear. Want to use the MBA as a career booster and/or industry pivot, not sure yet.
What is a mediocre GPA?
What major?
Oof we’re in the same boat
what is your GMAT? a 780 can make everything ok lol
It def will, but idk if my peanut brain is capable of that 😂 good luck OP
Not impossible. But you would need to really stand out in some way-not necessarily a reflection on you, but seems like H&S can be picky and only take dream candidates. So don't think GPA or school rules you out, but there are gonna be a lot of very similar folks applying from B4s...so why you?
