I’m a ways out from applying, but wanted to get a sense check and prepare accordingly. 3.6 undergrad, and will have 4-5 yrs exp B4 (audit and advisory). What GMAT score should I shoot for to ensure I am competitive at Kellogg or Booth PT? 720?

Average GMAT for Kellogg and Booth are 730

May want to aim a little higher based on the overall competitiveness of applicants

For part-time at Kellogg and Booth 700 may be sufficient.

If you’re way out from applying, start some ECs. It looks super suss if you start them a year before applying. But if you have a runway now, that might come in handy

I think there are two buckets. One type is to show community engagement. That can be anything at all, including having strong undergrad participation.
The better type is something that fits your story. E.g., you want to go to MBA to change education, so you’ve been volunteering at an adult ed org or something

Hi! I have a quick question and could use some advice:

I have 1 job offer that is an hour away and pays 45k, after negotiations (Research Associate Position at a University) .

I have just interviewed for a position closer to home and a base salary of 65k, but haven’t heard back from them in about 2 days (He said he would make a decision by yesterday and I’ve reached out).
I have to decide on the first offer by Thursday but I haven’t heard back from the second yet. Thoughts on next move?
