When applying for Financial Aid, does it harm you if you show the college that you have too little in savings? I am planning to take a loan for my MBA.

Unless I’m missing something, wouldn’t low savings be a good thing for financial aid? If you had a lot of savings they would provide no/less financial aid.

Yeah that’s what I also think. I was just worried that they don’t take it as a sign of personal irresponsibility or start doubting your ability to attend school.

Those who did MBA / can relate: I made friends but I’m almost never in the loop about pre-games/house parties, though I see these happening through insta stories. It’s bothering me a lot.

1) How much does Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. value MBAs in the hiring process?

Hi Everyone - I was hoping someone could throw some light on the kind of work trust and safety does.

Or is it more engineering?
