lol I was denied after interviewing for 2+2, refused to apply again, and went to CBS. So glad I did bc it was a 12/10 experience.

I interviewed and was denied, and then reapplied two years later and got in. Not 2+2 though.

Did you have a conversation with adcom after getting dinged for 2+2? They typically give specific guidance on what they are looking for you to do to secure a seat a few years later.

Yeah, I have a social impact background, and they wanted me to demonstrate my continued commitment while working at Bain, not just through extracurriculars. I’ve ticked that box through pro bono consulting and other things… but let’s see how it goes!

What does Dinged mean?

Turned down

What does 2+2 mean?

Hi friends,

I'm a new joinee in MSFT.

People in my team they don't come with me for breaks. (They blame the timings are different since they sit in crits but i don't think so because they have their own group of friends to go with)

Secondly, when my team members see me in cafeteria we expect they'll sit with us but people here are being rude they directly go and sit with their friends they don't call you to join. ( atleast they could have said they are accompanied)
