Emba? no prob. If you can show you’ll be going back to mbb post grad, you probably have a really great chance at FT even with a bottom 25% gmat.

Company will pay only when employed FT so EMBA is therefore personally better. Thanks for your thoughts!

In TC calculations, would you count 100K stocks or only 25 that vest in y1?
