Hey guys, need some advice. I was fortunate enough to get the Consortium fellowship at Ross but am also stuck on the CBS waitlist and am still planning to apply to Wharton in R3. Assuming I get into CBS/Wharton, is there that much of a difference between them to forgo scholarship money? For context, I want to get into product management at FAANG/fintech with pursuing MBB as a plan B. Thanks in advance!

Hey Everyone!

I’m on the Community Team here at Fishbowl and just wanted to drop in to see how we can possibly support your community. We love this bowl and want to see it thrive!

Are there threads, initiatives, or conversation drivers you’d like to see? Resources? Topics you’d love to see featured? People you’d love to have for Q&A’s? 

What would make this bowl a go-to for you? 

Let me know how I can help!

Any meetings for ad people in la? I find no one really understands how we work in normal aa meetings. They find it suspect when I’m at work till 10pm every night for 3 weeks.

Consulting question: would an enterprise improvement consultant position at AlixPartners fall under the purview of management consulting? As an econ grad student with a 3.8 GPA and 3.5 years of work experience at a financial research firm, what do you think are my chances to get an offer?

Someone I know just got assigned an interviewer for Kellogg. Should I be worried if I didn’t get an email or are they just assigned on a rolling basis?

Let’s be honest, what % of the entering class from consulting to m7 schools do we think used an admissions consultant? I think it’s upwards of 40%

Are we secretly being judged on how many of these admissions events we are attending / if we are participating?

Anyone here have experience / know anyone who did the Luxury & Fashion Retail MBA @ NYU Stern?

MBA background check: do they do detailed reviews of your essays? Like check anecdotes? Some of my verb choices likely give myself a bit more strict than I deserve. Do they call other managers?

How necessary is an extracurricular for MBA apps? I work a ton of hours and don’t have a lot of time or interest in any activity that I could reasonably put on an app. I spend the little free time I have on activities I enjoy (spending time with SO and friends, working out, Netflix, etc). Would it be really bad if I had nothing in that section on my app beyond college extracurriculars? Or should I force some activity? I have enough time before I apply to make it look legit to adcoms.

Recently hired an admissions consultant and based off of our consultation she was great. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a ton of non-gmat club/PQ feedback on her but I went with my gut and moved forward. What is the best way to get the most out of my experience with her? I am starting from the ground up for R1.

Enrolled in an executive MBA program at a top uni, and I have to say I’m very happy I did that vs FT/PT.
