Outside of getting a high gmat score, what are some things I should do to offset low UG GPA?

If you get a full time offer from the firm where you interned during your summer after your first year of MBA, will the offer pay for your second year of tuition?

Is it worth it to go back to school for a better track to a FAANG company? The division I’m currently in seems like there are no good opportunities, and I have the funds available to finish my undergraduate full time (Canada). I applied to Amazon before for a highly senior position and made it to final interview so I think I would have a better chance for a new grad type role.

Anyone do a joint MPP/MBA and willing to answer some questions or share their experience? Or if you know of someone who went that path, what they ended up doing?

How many of you got in without ad school? How did it happen?

Is it worth it to do a PhD in Statistics or Epidemiology or Health Informatics if I am interested in being a data science director in Pharma or a Health system? I am working remotely a a data scientist right now. I am plan on learning more ML models for now. However, is there a certain point where it makes sense to get a PhD? I want to stay in the healthcare space but not sure what I should do next besides taking coursera classes.

Joining Google in a few weeks and assuming I will be moving to the Bay Area sometime this year. For people who have kids, what do you do about schools? My wife and I are looking to buy a place but most the public schools in the South Bay are rated terribly. It’s good to note we don’t have kids yet but are trying to think longer term. Are schools even considered in the resale value of a house? Thoughts and insights appreciated!

Best GMAT study plan?

Can you get pdf score reports of gmat online exams?

I have been looking at the curriculums for Harvard Business School's Master of Business Administration and Harvard Extension School's Master's in Management. They both have the same requirements, generally speaking, including a field immersion course that serves as a capstone in the Master's in Management, which is fairly new. If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?

Taking my GMAT in 7 weeks. Just finished the large Kaplan book and have done 2 practice tests so far. What should I do next? Worth investing in a GMAT tutor? Getting 600 on practice tests but want a 690~.

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. Assuming I get into CBS/Wharton, is there that much of a difference between them to forgo scholarship money? For context, I want to get into product management at FAANG/fintech with pursuing MBB as a plan B. Thanks in advance!

Does the location of your MBA program limit which office you can recruit too? I want to work at MBB in NYC and have an admit to Stern and Ross however Ross is providing an 80k scholarship. I’d like to take this scholarship but I really have a desire to be in NYC post mba.

So bored and just waiting for bschool to start

Hi Fishes, I've 2.25 Years of experience in SAP Basis, but I've lost interest in the same due to not receiving proper training, inability to practice on customer's system and shifts. I'm looking forward to go for MBA/changing technology, which one would be a better option? In case of the latter can you guys suggest lucrative technologies which has little/no coding and can definitely give good packages? I've tried changing jobs in Basis for nearly one year and didn't get through. Please help me.

How long did it take y'all to prep for the GMAT? I would need to start from basics for all of the sections just so I can get my fundamentals down.

Looking to transition to a new career, possibly to SWE. I have a physical science background with some student loan debt. Before I dive into more student loans, I wanted to check out some Software Engineering boot camps....

Any recommendations? What's your personal experience? Are they worth paying, or is college the way?

What's your one regret from your time in the MBA program?

Is getting the FRM (Financial Risk Manager) Certification worth it? I could see it opening many doors but should I just shoot for my MBA instead? Have about 3 YOE

In one month is my mid term review.. Should I let my mentor know I'm applying for mba this year now or should I wait till after the review session? I'm afraid mentioning going to b school would hurt my "fast promotion". What's your guy's experience? :)

Question for anyone who might know - it appears to me Rasmussen releases a poll every week day or close to that, but day to day their margins swing three percent or more, which I think is outside the margin of error (can’t speak for every single poll). How is that kind of change possible from day to day?

Miami for Memorial Day long weekend, anyone? Or any recommendations for this weekend ?

How to get Id card.I am being boarded virtually!

All the posts I read in this bowl are centered around GC and priority dates. Am I the only one that can’t even seem to win the H1B lottery? Down to my final try 🤞🏼

Why does a H1b visa stamping get rejected? Are there things I can do to avoid rejection?

Could someone please refer me at JPMC for Java developer with 3.1 YOE, if you can. LWD Oct 26

How long before joining do we get on boarding mail?

why is this bowl usually sooo silent ?

Hi everyone HELP! I was lucky enough to receive two job offers, one in SNF/LTC one in oncology outpatient setting. Looking for any tips from people that have worked in either setting or both??
Some background I am coming from a inpatient hospital setting. Thank you!

Recommendations for lightweight low maintenance versatile blazer?

Ok... maybe its just too much “consulting” thing but: do you guys have a “life framework” or something around that like for example: health, career, family, etc? I could PS all the day 🤦‍♂️

Is there a definitive guide to cost of living? The obvious cost of living centers (SF, NYC, LA etc.) get covered a lot, but I’m wondering where my city falls. It’s a modest Midwest city with ~100k residents but is a relatively touristy spot. It often feels like a MCOL area but I’m not sure how to adequately judge that, and it would be helpful to know when comparing salaries and the like.

What's your favorite thing your benefits have covered?

Hello Guys ,
I have interview KPMG in few days
For SAP AUDIT role

“market data” 🤣

Do you guys think the rumor of McKennie sleeping with a teammate’s sister is true? Word on the street is that it’s Pulisic’s sister, but I’m not sure I believe that part.

Just wanted to say, as a guy in my mid-20’s, cheers to all the 30-40+ y/o LGBTQIA+ folks here—I know we roll our eyes at the performative rainbows on everything now, but you folks made this possible for the rest of us—you fought for acceptance, for our rights, and you made it through the struggle so people my age don’t have the same weight to carry, so we don’t have to be as afraid.
We have a long way to go, and I’ll carry the torch too, but I really think y’all deserve more gratitude. Happy 🏳️‍🌈

Is anyone doing virtual volunteer work? If so, where? I don’t have much time but the time I do have I want to spend meaningfully!

Anybody know of great head hunters for Art Directors who are looking to branch out from Pharma Advertising??

Hello everyone! What are some things you can think of to help boost LGBT acceptance in the work place?

Does anybody know what the tolerance + LGBTQ+ culture is like at Home Depot corporate in Atlanta?

My partner hates my long working hours.

It is really hard to do well in this business without sacrifice and my partner doesn't like it. To be fair that sacrifice is her... Most nights,over the weekend, and during every meal. She deserves better but I either sacrifice time or sacrifice earning potential.

I don't know how to solve this problem.

How many people come to this bowl and wish there was more happening? Show of hands please.

Looking to join a running club for LGBTQ folk or other agency folk. Is that a thing? NYC by the way.

Does anyone know of a good therapist they could recommend in the LA area? Saw someone post something similar to this in the bowl the other day so I thought it wouldn’t hurt to ask. They don’t have to be LGBTQ+, but it would help if they have some experience in that area.

Today’s my first day changing my pronouns at work, I am excited and terrified!! If you did the same and feel like sharing, I would love to hear your experience 💫 I am so anxious!

Had an associate of mine recently confront me and say he has a crush on me. Told him nope and that would be very unprofessional. He has reassured me that this won’t impact our working dynamic but lately there’s been a lot of pushback on any direction given to him or the team. I’m growing concerned he is holding something against me.

How should I approach this?
