Would you consider it worth it to re-take GMAT if you’re not sure about doing an MBA? I got a not so great score (~640, after months of practice) last April and found it very demotivating, so I just gave up. My quant was especially low and much lower than I was getting on practice tests (maybe partially due to test anxiety). I just feel stuck and unable to make a decision, and worry that I will lose motivation if I start practicing again.

So I know historical Booth has released their interview decisions this coming Friday but we actually think it will happen? Has anyone heard anything concrete

700+ GMAT scorers: how accurate have you found practice tests from different companies? I found myself bouncing by quite some points (30-40 around the 720-760 range) doing different companies’ tests and wonder if people have a sense of which ones seem most accurate. Trying to figure out since I’m retaking to try and up a few points from my current 720...

Improving Academic Aspect of Profile

Hi all,

I’m curious what else I can do to show my academic improvement since undergrad. My undergrad GPA was 3.2 as I struggled my first two years since I did not know what I wanted to do professionally and had GPA of about 2.9. After I figured out what I liked, I majored in Statistics and ended up with an average GPA of 3.45 in my final two years even with all my advanced classes. At least this shows an upward trajectory. Also my GRE is 166Q and 161V.

Graduated with a 2.9 in engineering 8 years ago. Have worked as engineer and consultant for the past 8 years, including several years abroad. Any chance at M7? What about INSEAD or LBS?

MBA Student Loan. Please suggest the best!
Federal Credit Union vs Discover vs So-Fi

Rank the following: HBS, Columbia, Kellogg, Wharton, GSB, INSEAD, Booth, LBS, Sloan

For those who entered consulting out of undergrad, then progressed to manager-level in their firm: Was doing a firm-sponsored MBA “worth it”/did you regret foregoing a sponsored MBA?

Any suggestions on where or what apartments to live in for Kellogg? Any tips!? Thanks!

Is anywhere here a Wharton/Lauder student or alum? If so, do you recommend Lauder and is it more competitive to go through the Wharton/Lauder route vs just applying to Wharton? Thank you!

Are Columbia bootcamps worth it in general? How about from a credentials prospective?

Suggestions for gifts to give recommenders? Budget ~$100

How does application quality vs stats affects chances of scholarship at Booth?

Male, European, 770 GMAT, first class in economics from LSE, 2 years of work experience in MBB. I won’t be sponsored so I want to max on scholarship and I am thinking whether it makes sense to hire a consultant for this specific school

Any recommended programs for a dual MBA/Data Science?

Duke interview invites are out (I didn’t get one lol but it’s fine)

Out of curiosity did you list any languages under language information on the HBS application? Is it worth listing if I have a few years of instruction but only borderline conversational?

How do you justify the value of an MBA if not pursuing paths such as consulting, banking, product management, etc?
