Just finished Fuqua Global EMBA and Columbia/LBS EMBA-Global Americas & Europe applications. Yale, Booth, Wharton, Sloan, and Darden left. I’m already feeling completely drained. How to go on?

Accepted to UMich Ross, Waitlisted UVA Darden, rejected from others. 1/1/6. Was going to apply to NYU Trium and Kellogg, but I think I am happy with Ross, including schedule and GI bill benefits.

Thanks!

Rejected by both already, at least there was a quick turn around.

Had my Darden GEMBA interview on Monday. I thought it went well, waiting for results at end of this month for Wharton and Darden. I finished up my MIT application but have no idea when they release decisions except for “at least 4 weeks”

Did you hear from MIT? Their round 3 is end of May and they get 40% of candidates in this round. I’m guessing it should be most impacted by COVID19 - thereby having a weaker round 3

They actually put out some admissions numbers for last year during Thursday’s webinar/virtual class that I attended. 450 applications 126 class size. They probably make offers to 140-150. So between 28-33% acceptance rate. Way more competitive last year for EMBA than any year before. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that applications to top schools doubled last year.

Rejected from MIT. 0/7. Submitted to Ross and working on Kellogg and Stern apps now.

Finished up my apps to Yale, Booth, Wharton. Still haven’t heard from Yale, Booth invite to interview this Friday, Wharton don’t expect to hear back until March as I did my interview with them already.

I got rejected by Sloan today. Thought I had a shot.

Nothing is a backup to anything else. All the programs I applied to were good for my goals. The only program that wasn’t top in my mind was Darden. MIT application deadline is later so I have time to see Booth results.

What are your GMAT scores ?

EA was a 155

Rejected from Booth today

Going to finish up MIT and Darden apps this week

Update on this journey?

Update on the status? Wharton results are out already.

Same. 2020 hasn’t been good.

Rejected by Wharton. I’m down to Darden and Sloan, 5 rejections out of 7. Makes me feel like I’m just not the right candidate for an EMBA

I have no interest in Sydney but thank you. I’ll keep attempting the top schools until I get what I want.

I think COVID19 situation could make next year easier as it will restrict disposable income flow in an uncertain economy

Yeah you’re right. Next year will see a surge in apps. The kind of crowd that can afford EMBA will not be affected by COVID

Do you think culinary school is worth it? I've been a waiter for a year but really want to be a chef. The people I work with say to just start in the kitchen and work my way up but I think culinary school might get me where I want to be faster. The cost is pretty insane though. Any advice?

SPHR exam- has anyone ever been “randomly selected” for an application audit? This just happened to me and the sheer amount of effort that is going to go into collecting all the documents almost makes me not want to follow through. Since I didn’t finish undergrad, they’re asking for a copy of my high school diploma or transcript and that itself is going to be an absolute nightmare to get hold of. Guess I’m not really looking for a solution here, just venting.
