Is it just me or does it seem like this cycle has been extremely competitive? Especially for consultants. Did not receive the results I expected from M7. I guess we’ll see when the admissions report comes out.

Even the round 1 was extremely competitive. I did not make it to any M7.
Silver lining- recruited and got the job that I wanted after the MBA.
So do not feel disheartened. Just ask for feedback from the Admissions and try again next year.

If you get to visit them in person, they do give feedback. Do not send out an official email if that makes sense.
Again, you can ask for a zoom call sometime in March after they have communicated the R2 decisions and check in on where you can improve.

Tighter white collar job market could be causing an increase in applicant pool

Just as tech companies don’t care for Consultants. Schools don’t want too many consultants either

Heading to an M7 soon from a tech company where I work in a product-adjacent position. I didn’t need this degree to “break into” product management (former company would have let me transition), but I still figured it could be good for the long run.
