It depends. There are rules to this but there can be exceptions granted in certain circumstances.

“Relocate immediately” suggests this is temporary. Yeah, that’s probably fine. With omicron nothing is going to be required in person as of yet. I’d just tell them that.

If it’s longer term, it would be tough depending on office. Some offices do a lot of in-office case work. On a travel case it wouldn’t matter.

6-8 months should not be a problem

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!
