Just got off the waitlist at Booth! Having just joined Google not too long ago, I wanted to see how everyone else is evaluating their decision to get an MBA. It’s pretty expensive, and not knowing a scholarship amount worries me

Wow that's a tough decision to be in, also one of the best to be in. Congrats op.

Congratulations! Curious to know what people will say too. Although I’m excited about getting accepted, I didn’t see any scholarship letter attached, which makes me assume I got none.

Ah dang, I don’t see a letter in mine, so probably no scholarship

What type of role did you get at google?

But the L4>l5 jump might be easier, and you could also try out for VC etc..

curious to hear if you provided an update to booth regarding your new job during the waitlist process? i’m in a similar boat where i just got waitlisted & just started a new job last week, but unsure if starting a new role at a new company will improve or hurt my chances since i just started it?

all good, thanks for the insight!

It's a horrible financial move but a fun 2 years
