What MBA programs should I be targeting? I work in med tech in the Bay Area and am interested in staying in medtech consulting or trying to get into VC.

Here is my idea for a startup! I collect all the data from career transitions and use Data Analytics to predict the most likely career transitions. I could start with consulting. What do you guys think about this? I would be able to predict based on your firm(mbb, big4), your experience, which role you are likely to move (Faang pm, strategy manager, move to mbb). I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?

In all honesty, I’ve written recommendations that male counterparts voiced in the past that had ZERO pushbacks.

What was your experience with the LSAT? Do you think it's gatekeeping, preventing students who can't afford it (often people of color) from entering the field?
