Honestly, CBS has only had rounds for two admissions cycles and they haven't quite figured it out. In their first year they accepted too many folks in R1.

Apply when you are both the strongest applicant (e.g. test score, work experience, leadership profile) and can submit the strongest possible application (solid research on CBS resources, compelling narrative that connects the dots from where you are now, through CBS to your post-MBA goals).

Short answer is yes all things equal but you shouldn’t compromise your application strength for the sake of submitting earlier

Anyone made the switch from payer/provider consulting to LS/Pharma? Are you able to keep your level or move up during the transitions.

Looking for advice! I was approved to work remotely but my salary will decrease 10%. I received two raises so the decrease brings me down to my previous salary. I was told that it’s due to the cost of labor in the area.

I’ve been with my company for 8+ yrs, I love my manager and the work I do (engagement, recognition, & wellness programs) but I feel like I’m limiting myself since I have the experience, an HRM degree, and SHRM-CP credentials.

Should I apply for roles outside the company?
