Which HBS events on the interview day are the most helpful? I’m assuming a class at least. No chance I’m attending a full day of activities pre-acceptance.

Honestly idk if it’s really worth attending them. If you get in you have ASW which is basically the same thing but more. If you don’t get in it’s kind of depressing to have done them and been rejected

Don’t think it helps with the interview. We started off one by briefly talking about the class I attended but it was like a one line kind of thing. It’s probably less stressful to do your interview in the morning and then enjoy the activities after

Should I email her for a follow up or schedule another phone call or just wait for her to follow up with me?

Does an MBA (US) make sense for me? Male, Indian, Age 32, Married working in tech consulting with 10 YOE. Base is $165 with steady increases and bonus is typically 15%.

Becoming a manger in my current company/path will probably get me there in terms of TC. Also considering EMBA from a good school (Wharton Global, Duke, Kellogg, Booth).

My colleagues
Just to put some intro
I am 22 years after college experience and worked in consulting for 15 years and currently in industry for 7 years.
My long term goal is to go back to consulting more of a business advisor from a strategy perspective
Here is my question
Would MBA be any good for me especially looking at strategy side?
I don’t want to spend $200K and would probably go online MBA in a mid tier school. Are those any good?
Looking forward to your great input on this topic
