Shout out to the MBA classmates who seemingly accomplish a lot—while screwing over their teammates in school group work or other extracurriculars they committed to. Too bad that part of the story isn't shown on LinkedIn.

It’s just school, it doesn’t matter.

Grade non-disclosure sets the MBA up to let you prioritize recruiting and other part time stuff. The system actively encourages you to deprioritze school work so you can explore other areas. People should obviously do a better job of communicating and setting expectations, but this seems like something to be expected...

Agreed, but most classmates also have to focus on recruiting. There are plenty of classmates who sadly look out for their own self-interest, don't communicate, or drop the ball at the worst times, forcing others to take on their part of the work in group projects and the responsibilities of the club leadership positions that they ran for/applied to.

They succeed in running another club and win recognition, while exhausting others who had to pick up after them, hampering those people's chances of success.

As someone who just finished an MBA at a big school in Texas. Nobody cares really. Just that you have an MBA. Grades don’t matter. Just relationships you build during school and being an alumni of a solid network
