If you are taking sponsorship from your firm does that change your story around why X Business school? Do you let schools know you are going to take sponsorship? Does it increase your chances since they are paid upfront?

I heard it helps since the schools will know they don’t have to worry about placing you for employment

Curious about this as well - if I am sponsored do I have to build my short term goals around going back to my firm?

Yeah I just put it as, “to support my long term goal, I’d like to return to X firm in the short term to gain experience specifically in Y practice/function/whatever your form does that supports your LT goal”

The schools I applied to didn't ask about it in the application. I didn't mention it explicitly in my essays or short answers responses.

Hey guys, need some advice. I was fortunate enough to get the Consortium fellowship at Ross but am also stuck on the CBS waitlist and am still planning to apply to Wharton in R3.

For context, I want to get into product management at FAANG/fintech with pursuing MBB as a plan B. Thanks in advance!
