I recently got diagnosed with ADHD. I'm 31 and found this only because b school and post mba consulting job was/is much more challenging than anything I did before. What I'm confused about is that even as a teenager I could read entire books overnight. But the last two years of high school I started selectively zoning out and the problem has become worse since. I just realised it now. My doctor has suggested treating depression (I was also unaware of this) with Wellbutrin first (contd)

What are my chances of finding a role with another company that'll let me work in BI/data analytics and build up my skill at the same time? Been thinking of leaving ACN.

How difficult/easy was it for you to land your first job after receiving your Bachelors? What do you wish you did differently? What is something you are glad you did?

To those of you who are planning to apply to MBA: Make sure you choose your recommender CAREFULLY. Really evaluate the person you’re requesting the letter from, their personality, and their relationship with you. You don’t want to be back stabbed like me 🙃

How does Wharton typically see/admit re-applicants, in comparison to say HBS, which has a very low acceptance rate for them?

Anyone has a good rec for improving SC in a really short time. Test in 2 weeks and still not getting half my SC questions right. CR and RC are at about 80% accuracy.

Who applies to HBS in R2? I was surprised to hear the pool is just as large as R1. Any speculation on the strength of the R2 pool this year?

I have a month left till my GMAT. Should I start solving the official questions timed or solve more untimed until I feel more comfortable? Asking because TTP is religiously advising on untimed strategy, but I’m currently struggling with timing especially CR; untimed sessions often make me take 3-4 minutes per question (80-90% accuracy). Thanks!

I didn’t get into any schools this past application cycle but got into H/S. I feel like I’m going to be incredibly insecure meeting my classmates this fall who probably got into every school with crazy scholarships too.

I got a 47Q but a 600 on my last GMAT but just got a 700 and a 44Q on the GMAT I took yesterday. I don't really want to retake. When I send my scores will schools take into account my 47Q score or only my 44Q score?

Is there an equivalent to TTP for Verbal?
