Not to kill the mood, but have yall started thinking about what you'll do if it doesn’t work out this round? I know it’s early but the thought keeps sneaking in. I’m hopeful but trying to temper my expectations.

Already started identifying what my weaknesses are and what I wish I could have improved or done better. It will be my go to list to apply again next year.

I’m on the high end of age range so it’s now or never for me. I guess I’ll just keep working as I do lol

MBA opportunity cost for you should be at least $500k. By early, I meant 45ish.

Applied to 7 schools (no not all m7)
2 rejections, 4 likely rejections at this point, 1 interview invite.
So yes, have been thinking. Don’t want to stay for another year at my current firm. Will try to network out. Reapplying is not an option for me because I did the best I could honestly, best possible GRE score I could get (330), stellar recs, networked like crazy with students and alums, attended events. The catch is my undergrad grades are low. Worked with a great consultant. I am an international applicant so of course the political sentiment had its impact as well. But I dont see it changing next year

Tax Senior Manager and Bowl Creator have thrown out WPF, SVOK, and AVAN recently. With these all barely above $10 (and SVOK actually temporarily below), what’s the downside to investing in these? Am I missing something? Don’t they offer you the opportunity to sell back the shares at $10 around the merge date? So max loss would be $0.12 per share on WPF (at current pricing) and $0.19 per share on AVAN?

Hey guys, need some advice. I was fortunate enough to get the Consortium fellowship at Ross but am also stuck on the CBS waitlist and am still planning to apply to Wharton in R3.
