What is M7? My assumption is that it refers the following schools:
MIT (sloan)
Michigan (Ross)
Marshall (USC)
McCombs (Texas)
McDonough (Georgetown)
Marriott (BYU)
Mendoza (Norte Dame)

But why do you all want to go to these schools?

OP you got it right! Good job šŸ‘šŸæ

that is not M7. M7 is

1. Harvard
2. Stanford
3. Columbia
4. Wharton
5. Kellogg
6. Sloan
7. Booth

People go to these schools cause they are ranked highly, are reputed business programs, and tend to have better outcomes

Columbia shouldnā€™t probably be on the list. I got into 4-7 and more a few years ago. Had never seen such egotistical quacks before. I had a good mind to report the interviewer:
1) arrived 30 mins late and did not apologize
2) Threw up a fit about me having looked at his LinkedIn profile. Said itā€™s not good to anticipate questions!
3) Asked me if I knew about quantitative easing. Ofc I did - the way he asked was an absurd attempt to make me fail.
- ā€œDo you know what QE is? (awkwardly enunciated )
- Me: can you repeat? If itā€™s an abbreviation, pls expand?
- ā€œMumbled Quant easing (sudden low volume) in a loud restaurant
- me: sorry, could you please speak up?
- Sounds like you donā€™t know about Quantitative Easing, letā€™s move fo the next question
- Me: Hold on a second, now that Iā€™ve heard, Iā€™ll briefly explain
4) End of interview: I had my wallet out and offered politely to pay for our 2 drinks , a total of Ā£5 I believe. He nearly screamed ā€œNo not appropriateā€ and kept fiddling in his pocket embarrassing himself and meā€.
