Yes, definitely add Mccombs if you want to be in Texas or do tech. Austin is amazing and tech is booming there.

M7 > Darden/Fuqua = Tuck/Haas > UT/UNC/Emory, imo

Tier is still the biggest factor in recruiting MBB, regardless of geo. When close in tier tie goes to geo that aligns closer to end location.

Are we talking Atlanta south? Or Dallas south? If latter then add McCombs

Maybe add Vanderbilt then

I’d add M7 for sure if you think you have a shot. They place well everywhere

Your priority of the 4 should be Darden, Fuqua, Unc, Emory. I would at least consider applying again to D and F the next year if you only get UNC or Emory

Additional schools to consider: M7 and UT

Vanderbilt

Is it easy to get into either of MBB in another country, let’s say Russia or UAE, with a degree from a US non-target yet good school? I would assume a US degree will be much more coveted than any local degree. I can work in either countries as well as US, and I would love to leverage that to get ‘MBB’ on my resume if that can be pulled off lol I’m not sure if the quality of experience will be the same.

I was wondering if any of you could refer me for an open position in your company ( after we’ve had a chance to talk, of course) or put me in contact with a member of your hiring team.
Please let me know if any of you would be comfortable doing so.

Thanks,
