Recent admit here - how important are these pre-MBA Virtual networking sessions? Feeling like it’s hard to network virtually.

Not very. If you’re in, you’re in. Your acceptance and admission will not be rescinded because you participated in 2 instead of 3/4 networking sessions.

As important as you want them to be. Virtual networking sucks but it’s all we have for now. I’d rather know even 1 additional person from the sessions when starting school, but some people probably don’t care.

Advice for studying for CISA? I’ve purchased the CRM, QAE, and Hemang Doshi’s book.

Anyone else getting pretty harsh feedback on your candidacy as a whole from Maria at applicant lab? I feel like I have a doable shot at my target schools based on gpa, gmat and essays but every time she reviews she suggests I have no chance. It’s been pretty discouraging.

I know that people say it’s all about story, but with a certain gpa/gmat score is there a “floor” that you’re safe on? For example would someone with 4.0/780 (not me) be pretty much assured at least 1 M7? Or is there a reasonable chance that all M7s will reject them? Or is their floor just lower (T15 for example)?
