It’s a ridiculously easy school to get into, pretty sure they let in anyone with a pulse who can pay. Aim higher with those stats.

I wouldn’t say easy school as I’ve seen it ranked top 20 globally on some sites, but they do have a relatively high acceptance rate for schools at that level. That being said your stats are right in line if not a little above what they’re looking for. Good story and you should be in.

Hey all, first time poster here and still consider myself fairly new to consulting so please be kind. Questions for past/ current Accenture folks: I noticed in some threads that SC level only applies to strategy consulting. Could Product Manager be SC level if I have my MBA or is it not even considered a Strategy role? And do they only consider you an “MBA hire” if it’s top tier MBA? Lastly, I’ve seen quite a big salary range for MBA hires. Anyone care to share the latest? TIA.

Thinking whether to stay in Consulting post MBA or pivot to PM. Will select schools accordingly. Any suggestions on schools (US) are also welcome.

I find consulting very interesting (and it also pays well), but I think I'll like product management at big tech too (plus relatively better wlb).

TIA!

So my bipolar dad got declined for a mortgage because disability gets shut off in < 3 years when he turns 65. So now he wants me to co-sign for him. Between housing markets being up, my concerns over his money mgmt, and concerns over tying up my credit there’s no way I can say yes. He sold his house before being approved for the new one he put in for (against my advice). I know he won’t understand and will take this personally, and the family will probably take his side. Gonna be a long week…
