MBA admit here and have to put down a deposit soon, having serious cold feet right now due to the covid situation and potentially having to start virtually. Would love any perspective on how it's been particularly socially and what your schools' outlook on the fall is

Also just an incoming student but have talked to 1Ys at a couple schools and no one knows anything about the fall. I doubt schools will put out any info until mid-summer

I’m currently at Kellogg. Relatively confident we’ll be in person by fall so would recommend coming.

Many schools are very optimistic in there being a on-campus aspect to classes. Yale SOM Dean, for example, put that figure at 80% I believe.

I think that while classes / recruiting could still be hybrid in the fall. If enough of your classmates are vaccinated by the fall, then there’s nothing preventing you from hanging out and going on trips together.

This is exactly what I've been thinking as well - hopefully the vaccination process will ramp up enough for that to be true!
