Good Luck to everyone applying!
Good luck chaps! Didn't know MIT did MBAs.
and apparently i am the only one applying this year. EASY IN
Investment Management/Fin Svs Consulting
R1: Booth Kellogg McCombs
planning to stay in the midwest/texas i assume ray?
not using a consultant, i guess columbia since i did ED but i might like chicago a bit more... ive been feeling tuck a lot from the alum ive talked to
short - what happened to HBS?
got the same 82/83 q/v split and 700 when i retook gmat haha ;[
Same thing happened to my brother. He took the GMAT, studied for a few more months, took it again and got the same exact score. Talk about demoralizing.
I'm applying first round to Harvard, Wharton, Columbia for sure. If I can complete the Tuck application in time I'll probably apply there as well.
mapple are you doing ED at columbia? i did ED at columbia and will do EA at tuck if i dont get notice by columbia in time. the turn around on some of the early EDers at columbia is pretty crazy, 3-4 weeks time going by what ive read on gmatclub. get your ED in as soon as you can too btw, i just submitted mine yesterday and im already being reviewed less than 24 hours later
comp -- haha yeah i thought id be able to bring up my 48 38, was a very solid score for a 700 with the 80 80 split, quant was decently high enough for me so lets see!
I've debated about the ED at Columbia. I think I'm competitive but they're all a bit of a reach (I'm military so coming from an "underrepresented" area gives me a nice boost). I would prefer either Wharton or Harvard over Columbia so I would kick myself if I got accepted ED and had to put down the deposit and then 2 months later got accepted into HBS or Wharton. But I feel like applying ED might help give me a boost since my undergrad GPA is weak, even for an engineering major.
its 6 grand, not that much of a sacrifice if thats the swing.. have u done any post bacc classes to mitigate the weak gpa?
so i see me and map are the only ones applying this year. excellent lol
Consulting / Non-profit - want to get into VC/PE (cliché right?)
HBS - round 1 Columbia - shooting to get it in by oct 6th but decided against early decision
I will likely be applying this year, not 100% certain as there are potential job opportunities that have surfaced. Anyways, I've set the bar a little lower and will likely apply to:
Darden Fuqua Ross
Additionally, I will probably apply to HBS as a reach and to one of the following schools as a "safety":
Kenan-Flagler McCombs Stern Goizueta Owen
I plan to stay in the southeast so UNC or Owen might have a better shot than say McCombs or Stern but I have to do some more research and see what the 'fit' would be like, etc.
Regards
mccombs s epicness. go with mccombs.
why no m7 if youre gonna aim for those, how were your gmats?
from the looks of it NO ONE is applying, at least not first round
I actually like McCombs a lot, but I'm from the southeast and will likely end up back in the southeast so I question just how much weight it will hold vs a similarly ranked program like Kenan-Flagler. At any rate, I still have plenty I need to figure out.
I actually haven't taken my GMAT yet...so my posting is a bit premature. If I was able to knock it out of the park then I would likely apply to the higher tier schools but I come from a total non target and would have spent 2 years at a boutique PE fund by the time I matriculated, so my candidacy will rely heavily on the GMAT. I did spend 4 years in the Army, so that is a bonus, but it was prior to undergrad, so I was enlisted...which isn't viewed as positively as being an officer.
Also, since I haven't taken my GMAT, I won't be able to make the 1st round deadline and will have to push everything to the second, which seems to make it more of a crap shoot for someone that would be viewed as a marginal candidate on paper.
Regards
Planning to apply R2 at Chicago MIT Duke Possibly UPenn and Northwestern Biggest hang up is GMAT. Taking a month of starting tomorrow to study for it, along with figuring out the whole essay thing.
Background: Engineering Major from State U, non-MBB Operations Consulting with some leadership in undergrad. Just returned from a non-profit consulting gig in Africa. Did some side volunteer consulting in the past.
why the hang up o nthe gmat did you take it before and get a low score? looking to stick with consulting?
Never took it, just never studied for it. Took a practice test once and got 680 but that's about where it stopped.
Most likely sticking to consulting.
