For each MBB, what's the grad school sponsorship policy for junior who join as experienced hires? Are you still eligible and if so, how long until you can be sponsored (and is thus measured up to enrolment or application time?). Thanks!

Does anyone ever question the possibility of going to law school?

I’m a 23yo female legal assistant working/living in Canada. I am completing my BA in hopes of continuing with law school after. But, I just turned 23 and I’m anxious about my love life and starting a family. I haven’t had a boyfriend since 2019 and I’ve poured my heart and soul into my education & career.

I’ve always wanted to go to law school since age 14. But I also want a husband/kids. I don’t feel like I can have both.

Hi all!

At what point does the value of a degree fall off? I'm in my early 30s, and have five years of experience, and work on a very theoretically interesting project. I believe I'm on track to promotion in the next year. So, I could put in a year of full time school to check the box off, but I'd be sacrificing hobbies and social life (not to mention cost). Is this FOMO or is there real opportunity here?

Can someone please give feedback on how are MSBA programs in Canada, are they considered equivalent to MS as most of them are only of 1-1.5 years?

Yale vs Stern?

Consortium applicants: Can you apply to different schools in different rounds? Eg. Three schools in Round 1 Two schools in Round 2

what schools do pre-mba LEK associates typically get into? targeting wharton, sloan, hbs

What are reasonable target schools? 3.7 gpa with a business degree from top 25 university, 720 gmat, and 4 years tech consulting.

Does it matter which interview date I select for schools? The last day offered for one of the schools is best for my schedule - does taking that slot hurt my chances?

Thoughts on Harvard vs INSEAD? Currently in US, looking to leave consulting and work abroad for a few years before coming back home

Enrolled in Stern for a few weeks.
The number of the alumni and current students that go to top consulting firms FT& summer intern are countless even for a small class size.
Stern is way more than a finance school. Given its location, do you want to spend your 2 years in a rural area or heart of Manhattan? Location is almost everything for business school. (I have a friend in Cornell that frequently travels about 5 hours to NYC for events.)

Anyone looking forward to LBS invite outcomes this Thursday? Just wanted to create an update thread here (well in advance!)
