Joining a top group for FT and know that I want to do on-cycle for MF PE but I'm not sure about including my HBS/GSB acceptance on my resume. Would firms that dont kick you out after 2 years not like this because I'll leave in 2 years?
I come from a semi-target school with a subpar GPA so having it on my resume would really help but just wondering if its a red flag for firms.

I'd view it as a net positive so I think it's worth including. Even with firms that aren't necessarily 2 and out, there's no guarantee you will stay and/or get promoted. The acceptance to a top MBA program offsets your "less prestigious" undergrad and lower GPA to some extent. Your employer will also know they won't have to worry about you having to devote a lot of time toward MBA applications with GMAT prep / classes, essays, etc. I'd just make sure you have good reasons for why you're planning to pursue an MBA, as there's a good chance your interviewers may ask.
Advice to do deferred MBA application?
Do you mind sharing stats & hooks? PM if you’ll like. I’m looking into applying next year
Yeah I've seen these more commonly and I generally view it net favorably, even though we offer direct promote. Still a nice signal and you don't have to necessarily take it if you decide later on you'd rather go direct. Hard to criticize someone for optionality.
HBS/GSB haven’t made admissions decisions for graduating seniors.. cap?
Deferred applicants can apply to both round 1 and round 2 for GSB
I would keep it bc for the firms that aren’t 2 and out, you could say you aren’t committed to going.
Also separately, could I PM you on how you got into HBS / GSB w a subpar gpa ? Curious and interested bc that’d be helpful for me
What were your stats? How did you get in with a subpar gpa? Are you diversity?
