What’s the earliest someone could realistically apply for GSAP and be successful both from a sponsorship and M7 acceptance perspective?

Jan’21 campus hire, Client E rating on latest YE, getting early off-cycle promo to C in a week, targeting the Kellogg 1Y partnership.

My two cents — don’t rush it; you’ll get more out of it after 4+ years of work experience and time away from undergrad. You can only get an MBA once in your life/career

like

I get it that the 1Y is attractive on paper since it costs less and is less disruptive, but you’ll end up missing out on a lot. Post-MBA, you’ll have 25-35 more years of your career, there is no need to rush. It’s a marathon, not a sprint

how did you manage an early consultant promotion as a campus hire? i was always told promotions are locked for campus recruits and you gotta wait the 2 years before C

Nope, heard from my coach that panels were rough for some people and most on the bubble didn’t get it. They’ll get it at the next YE though so only really a 6-8mo delay

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.
