Teach For America + EdTech Startup Internship + Full TIme Start up experience = HBS or similar?
Hey guys, just wanted to get some opinions on my situation. I'm currently about to begin my second year of TFA, and I've spent the summer interning for an ed-tech start up.

HBS (or similar) after Teach For America
I am currently finishing up my training for teach for america. Education and education reform are passions of mine but ultimately my goal would be to work in finance (preferably ibd). Would I have a shot at hbs or other top 5 schools coming straight out of tfa? I'd only have two years work...

Teach For America as an alternative to the banking/finance world?
What do you guys think of doing Teach For America for two years as an alternative to the banking/finance world right now? I think it could be a great experience, and then after it going to business school or doing an analyst program, provided that this whole mess gets a little better, and I get...
