Congrats! How did they phrase it on the call? I was freaking out so much I forgot the amount they told me 😑 but I think they said full tuition

1st essay was kind of generic MBA goals essay but infused a lot of aspects of Booth that would help make me successful.

2nd essay on choices I went through 3-4 pivotal decisions that I have made in my life that impacted the trajectory of my life. Highlighting a common theme of taking risks and taking the road less traveled

Congrats!!!!

Op share your profile. Undergrad rank and GPA, yoe and firm, gmat, gender, ethnicity

Ordinarily, I'd wait a few days at least, but the performance issues are real, have been going on (despite feedback and support) for months, and impact rest of team. He has issues w health, family, etc. at least monthly. I've worked hard to build a warm, supportive team and struggling now. Would appreciate ideas!

Anyone else just sitting around waiting for the ax to drop? I'm a soon to be 2nd year corporate associate who has seen work completely dry up. My utilization held pretty steady around 50% immediately after shutdown, but August was below 15 billables with no appreciable work in the pipeline. Aside from letting people know I'm available and doing pro-bono/CLE, it's starting to feel like a serious "covidcation" leading to termination.
