Competitive for H/S/W?
Hi all,
Wanted to see what insight people may have into my competitiveness for Harvard, Stanford or Wharton (especially interested in Harvard). I am trying to decide if I want to put the effort into applying for b-school over next year’s cycle or if I should focus all my energy on networking for my next job.
Profile: - Finishing up my first year as an Associate at PE fund (current fund is $1-$2bn); role is 2 years and out - Did banking for 3 years with very high reviews. MM bank with decent brand name - Other work experience before banking, was at firm with recognizable brand name - Undergrad: 3.9+ GPA, STEM major, T100 school but not a target. Okay extracurriculars and awards - post-college extracurriculars: kind of suck to be honest. Getting more involved in the past year but basically nothing while in banking. Definitely average at best - GMAT: haven’t taken (COVID disrupted this) but have been studying HARD. Should have no trouble getting a 780-800 with 1 or 2 tries based upon my practice exams and general testing aptitude. - Goals: obviously going to firm this up but I think I want to move into operational management / leadership. Pretty over the finance world, want to work with tangible shit. - References: should be good. No Senators or anything but I’ve been really well-liked at every stop.
Thanks!
This past week has really been great in terms of WSO entertainment. No issues getting a 780-800 on the GMAT... Bruh
Past 10 PTs have been 780 or higher I’m pretty certain I’ll hit it.
Any advice for us mortals who can't get past 740?
Idk guys it’s all high school-level concepts, a little confused about the perceived difficulty of the test. Practice learning to read faster, I guess?
