Is M7 a lock with 4.00 + 740 and top EB -> UMM?

Looking at a lot of applicants/outcomes and seeing that people with these profiles are really only targeting HSW. Just wondering how competitive someone with this profile would be given that the majority of similar applicants only seem to want one of the top three, perhaps making this profile more differentiated in these schools’ app pools.

I’m interested in the search fund model and recognize HSW may be best for this, but I also feel like Booth/CBS/etc. may not drop off as much in value as they would for someone looking to return to PE or go to HF.

For context, straight white male fml

Bruh I get pretty much everyone w this profile thinks about b-school, but I’m pointing out the notion that a lot of these people don’t want anything except for HSW, which has prompted me try and parse impact of this on the chances of someone with this general profile at a non HSW M7. Of course I have to differentiate. I founded a startup which got pre-seed term sheets and have some other pretty interesting leadership ECs and volunteer activity, but that’s not extremely relevant to the point I’m trying to dig into and so I didn’t include it.

 

You sound like a b-school recruiter’s wet dream dude you’ll be fine. Best of luck
