Have a 4 round loop interview for Sr. Product Manager at Amazon coming up through the MBA pathways program soon.
If I land it the trajectory of my life and that of my family changes but I'm starting to feel the pressure. I haven't had a lot of traction for job searching since I graduated in December so this is the best lead I have and I'm getting scared now.
Any tips on how to start and prepare my MBA Application? I don’t plan on applying till 2022 as I want to attend in 2023. What are things I can do to prepare now in order to have a strong application?Background: I’m aiming for HSW, M7, and top 15. I’m currently a Staff at EY within Business Consulting. I graduated from a Top 25 Business Undergrad - majoring in Finance and minor in Advertising with a 3.71 GPA. I want to pivot towards PM or Corporate Strategy in Tech, at Toyota, or Nike. TIA!

So I've had 2 hiring managers and several recruiters from Amazon reach out to me about applying for some open positions with the company (android). I completed the coding assessment and now they want me to go through a round of 5 hour interviews next week. Is there a good chance I'll be hired if engineering managers are reaching out to me? I'm really not sure how badly I want to work for them and I don't want to be laid off months after being hired on. Anyone know what Amazon hiring is like?

It probably depends a bit on the individual and the school. Generally, if you apply to a range of tiered schools, you’d expect more $ from a T25 than a T15, than a non HSW M7 than W respectively. HS are notorious for giving primarily need-based rather than merit scholarships. Other schools give scholarships to lure applicants from typically higher ranked schools.
Obviously, there are always exceptions. If your GMAT/GPA are above the 80% for a school, I feel like 30% would be low unless you sort of did the application with less care/attention than others.
P&Q did a blurb on this last year. I feel like this is still pretty true, at least talking with peers. https://poetsandquants.com/2020/02/10/mba-scholarships-at-record-levels-with-awards-as-high-as-200k/
This is incredibly helpful information friend. It’s an Ivy League though. So this makes me feel better now. 👍
Depends on school. HSW? Yeah, pretty good.
Nope, T15 - Ivy

Depends on the school, M7 - totally, T15 - avg

I go to a top 25 and supposedly scholarship is awarded to 45-50 percent. Not bad !
Yes you should be very proud of this achievement. Remember that this bowl is a bubble and that many people wish for a scholarship.
Thank you so much for the thoughts. I have seen a good number of admits with 50% waviers at Tuck and Kellogg. So I was feeling little low initially but this makes me feel better now ✌️
