White male. 3.8 GPA from public ivy. GMAT 730 (Q49, V41). Will this tick the boxes for M7 from a GMAT / GPA perspective? Struggled with the GMAT and don’t really want to take again, but I get that I’m ORM

Can people seriously stop with this public Ivy stuff? Public and private schools are compared against each other, they are not in separate pools for admissions. Just say the actual ranking of the school instead of this nonsense. The “public Ivy” range is so broad that it is unhelpful; UC Berkeley and the University of Vermont are both “public ivies” but have vastly different outcomes.

Haha who calls Vermont a public Ivy?

But a lot of the applicants from the big state schools are definitely being compared against each other. There’s only so many Berkeley or Michigan students HSW are gonna take.

Lender shopping before I close out on my first home. Is 3.5% a good rate for putting 20% down on a home? How can I go about having my lender match other lenders? For context, the home I’m building in Texas has a lender that will cover $5k in closing costs if I go with them, and that’s the rate they’re giving me. I realize the rates are going back up and just wanted any advice on if it’s best to lock that in the next week or keep shopping as my closing is May 14. Thanks in advance!

DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good?

I'm a US citizen living abroad I applied almost 11 months ago for my spouse. Married for years, kid. I wait and wait. It seems this will take 2 years, maybe more. I feel trapped.
