I just got an interview at GSB. Does anyone know if there’s any science to who they assign as your interviewer? Should I read into it?

Stanford often tries to pair applicants with an alum with a similar profile. So expect to interview with someone in consulting.

It doesn't always work out but historically it hasn't been random.

No

It was random for me because I told them I needed in person. So they gave me someone local and available

You shouldn’t read into it, but it’s not random because there is some kind of matching process (but more based on background than anything else)

Just landed a full time gig, looking to get some furniture so I’m not working on my parents’ kitchen table during this remote period. Any recommendations for desks and chairs? I’m hoping to find something that’s easy to assemble and break down for when I need to move, and something that won’t cost an arm and a leg.

I know everyone has a different kind of setup that works for them. I currently have a laptop, drawing pad, second monitor, and a desk riser.

This industry cracks me up

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
