Low GPA but great work experience (F500 Corporate Strategy + T2 Consulting) and T20 UG. Should I be aiming for +3-5 points above the average at my target schools for the GRE? Happy to elaborate on work experience. GPA is explainable by constant family emergencies/financial stress

Curious what anyone thinks about cologne? Is it a turn on? I am not really into it.. but I just got a whiff of this dude at the gym and the cologne did something to me 🥰 It was really subtle. I tend to just like the way a man smells (not body odor but just natural scent) and don’t usually like it covered up, but wow this guy tonight 🥵 I might might buy some but i figured it would be gay to ask him “what are you wearing” because that prob isn’t something the bros at the gym do.
