Least arrogant/pretentious top MBAs?

How much weight does brand name consulting firms have on top MBA programs? For example, is it significantly better to work for MBB firms vs. big 4 vs. well known specialized boutique firms?

Do business schools provide access to online publications such as Bloomberg business week, NYT, fortune etc.?

Hi Fishes, I've 2.25 Years of experience in SAP Basis, but I've lost interest in the same due to not receiving proper training, inability to practice on customer's system and shifts. I'm looking forward to go for MBA/changing technology, which one would be a better option? In case of the latter can you guys suggest lucrative technologies which has little/no coding and can definitely give good packages? I've tried changing jobs in Basis for nearly one year and didn't get through. Please help me.

I am a 30yr old with a masters in finance and bachelor in Econ but I feel like I am not doing what I can to continue my education. I barely read but know I need to. Any page turning book recs that can get me start reading more?

What was your experience with the LSAT? Do you think it's gatekeeping, preventing students who can't afford it (often people of color) from entering the field? OR is it helping future attorney's of color by giving them a chance to go to a top school regardless of grades? I've seen questions about the LSAT all day and just want to know how people feel.

Anyone heard of/done the PowerMBA? How was it? Was it worth it? Should I just go to proper b school, overpricing & all...?

Joined EY 6months back as a tech consultant. My feedback so far has been great. What should I do to get the company sponsor my mba? I haven’t initiated the talk yet

recently asked a question about going to law school with an accounting degree. follow up on that- if i work 1-2 years at my current firm (offered 72,500 full time after graduating undergrad) and acquire my cpa (courses and exam fees paid for by the firm), then apply to law school, would that be more beneficial? ive been reading a lot that work experience helps with the application, alongside having a high gpa and LSAT score

Roche’s Finance Perspectives program? Post-MBA program in the EU, headquartered in Basel.

Does where you get your masters degree matter? I’m in an online environmental science masters program at an expensive “name-brand” school, but have colleagues telling me I should transfer to a less expensive program to save $ because no one cares about where your degree is from. Aside from the cost of it, I like my program, and the fact that I’m now connected to an incredible alumni network. And not gonna lie, I like the clout. Thoughts?

How difficult is it to get into an MBA at London business school

Anyone used an admissions consultant for Mba application? If so any good experiences ?

Im strongly considering an MBA. Only thing that deters me is cost. I’ve heard of some tier 1 firms that will offer tuition reimbursement for returning interns post-MBA, how common is that? Also considering pivoting to a firm that offers scholarships. Any tips/insight on this? Thank you!

Enrolled in Stern for a few weeks.
The number of the alumni and current students that go to top consulting firms FT& summer intern are countless even for a small class size.
Stern is way more than a finance school. Given its location, do you want to spend your 2 years in a rural area or heart of Manhattan? Location is almost everything for business school. (I have a friend in Cornell that frequently travels about 5 hours to NYC for events.)

What was the hardest section to get through for REG studying? Did it then pay off in the exam?

Anyone use SOLELY Ninja for BEC? What was your study time and score? Worth it?

This is probably an odd question, but i just found out that the professor who is teaching a tax class I’m in for school, is the Tax manager from a local firm who is assigned to our taxes as a company (I’ve worked with him regarding our taxes).

This isn’t like conflict of interest or anything right?

I Recently told company A verbally I will accept their offer if they match a job offer I have from Company B and they did. When I informed Company B that I will not be accepting their offer they gave me a sweet counteroffer that i’m seriously considering, What should I say to Company A?

Has anyone moved from Social to Production? I’m considering it and I would love some honest thoughts on whether that’s happened or what advice you can give on moving into production as a whole.

@BCG

Recruitment firm reached out about Sr. Knowledge Analyst role in your Boston office. What does this roles entail? Are they still client facing consulting roles or back office research?

Is there anyone working in Marketing/Product Management for a health tech firm in Atlanta? I would love to chat.

Just got another rejection... Is exiting to FAANG or MB really this hard? Trying to go tech.. or mbb, but not getting anywhere. I have 2 masters (mba, ms) from top schools, been in consulting for over 10 years, I am confident that I know my stuff well..but still I keep getting rejected. Interviewed with Google, Amazon, Cisco, McKinsey, and a few others and every-time there is something that is not a match... are the hiring managers looking for like 100% match? That will never happen!!!

How useful is sponsorship as a negotiating lever for full-time roles? I realistically do not see myself going back to consulting after B school. I have to stay for 3-4 more months to keep my sponsorship but starting to seriously consider quitting ASAP

Does anyone else find it absolutely hysterical that people group MBB/FAANG/PE/VC for the prestige-oriented folks and they never include BB IB 🤣

Got into HBS and Booth!

Hello, has anyone filled in the Forte Fellows Kira video questions?

Are they any different from usual Kira interview questions?

If I want to apply R1, when should I request recommendations?

WL at Sloan. Any good vibe stories of people getting in after WL to cheer me up?
More in general: what is the chance of getting a R2 interview? Some folks will for sure enter at H/S and maybe make some space for us 🥲

Context: 760 GMAT, MBB (with earlier Corp. experience), not a great GPA in my BA but 4.0-equivalent in my MSc, good ECs. EU-based

Why does Stanford GSB ask if any ‘close relatives’ are also applying for the same MBA class? Would a cousin count and should I disclose this information, or will it factor against me?

Accenture tech consultant vs KPMG Management consulting for top MBA exit in a few years? Which one will look better?

I got an offer from HBS and Wharton last year. GMAT: 740. Background: male, top 20 state school. I was at big 4 at the time. Applied R2. AMA. Good luck to everyone!

Are gsb invites done?

I keep hearing that Booth’s MBA program is rigorous (maybe the most rigorous out of M7). That said, how much more work are students expected to do compared to HBS, Wharton, Kellogg, etc.? I don’t know if this is an outdated opinion, considering a lot of MBAs are very demanding. Booth is personally my top choice for having a flexible curriculum & 2-3 days of classes. But I really want to know what to expect around the “rigorous” label. Does it mean I’ll be buried in coursework the other 2-3 days?

Just submitted Booth R1! 😓 phew. Anyone know timeline for interview invites? The email says ‘on a rolling basis...’

Has anyone taken the Executive assessment exam? How long did you prepare for. GMAT crushing me.

For the Wharton app, what do you mention for professional awards? Can I mention “above average annual performance reviews and salary bonus”?? Thoughts??

Anyone's GSB Portal who doesn't have the Waitlist Tab now? Maybe a botched update? Hearing people in a few different stages of their application with the tab? It has a View Decision button, which just says no decision when picked. If everyone has it, probably a botched update!

Boston people - I have a set of GMAT veritas prep books for sale for $50. DM me if interested.

How much does work experience impact your chances for MBA? Currently in a PMO function and the point of getting an MBA is to exit out lol
