My sister is thinking about applying to MBA after 3 years working in a boutique family office wealth management firm. How hard would it be for her to get in M7 these days? Are extracurriculars still very important for MBA? She came from a top 15 school with a pretty strong undergrad GPA. TIA!

With what you mentioned and a strong test score she'll definitely have a good shot at M7 and T15 schools

3 years is plenty of time to build up extracurriculars/volunteering if needed

You can lie and make up all your extracurriculars, so many M7 students do this. They exaggerate their responsibilities too

My colleagues
Just to put some intro
I am 22 years after college experience and worked in consulting for 15 years and currently in industry for 7 years.
My long term goal is to go back to consulting more of a business advisor from a strategy perspective
Here is my question
Would MBA be any good for me especially looking at strategy side?
I don’t want to spend $200K and would probably go online MBA in a mid tier school. Are those any good?
Looking forward to your great input on this topic
