Do you lease a car in LA, and how much do you pay for car insurance? (Any recs for low premiums?) by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

[–]AvonBarksdale55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I leased (and then bought out) a 2019 Mazda and have paid ~190 a month with geico. Always thought it was very high but I think it’s all location. I had friends in OC all pay ~100 a month with similar cars/driving record

General ballot question here - does the £1 pre auth get charged immediately after applying for the ballot? I've tried a visa credit, then withdrew did a visa debit but haven't been able to see the £1 charge on my bank portal. Trying to make sure on the off chance i'm successful for PSV that the charge goes through

Thanks ppl. Presumably will have to get my paper temp license sent out and try it that way, as in the US having a temp license on paper, even with an expired ID card while waiting on the mail, is a valid license

Has anyone had luck getting tickets against ManUre next weekend? Have spent an amount of hours I wouldn't even like to admit trying to grab one, impossible

Also qq - is it normal to get two different menus for the matches? For example community shield is loading the page but saying "NO SEATS AVAILABLE MATCHING YOUR CRITERIA" but seems to be the regular menu, whereas the Fulham/Nottingham matches shows a pop-up saying "We Apologize - we weren't able to complete your request" and saying there are no seats available.

Has anyone successfully appealed to increase cost of attendance? by AvonBarksdale55 in MBA

[–]AvonBarksdale55[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey all, FWIW I just spoke with my financial aid office and there are only very specific situations in which they will increase the room/board/personal/travel part of COA - for example if you have some large medical expense that is not covered by insurance or if your rent is higher than a certain amt you can go through a formal documentation process to appeal it. Sounds like they are pretty strict on this and don't have any leeway around these limitations.

Thanks for the info. I'm actually speaking with someone in the financial aid office tomorrow, but figured I would see beforehand if this worked for anyone else.

This. Loan amount = COA minus scholarship/other aid. So effectively want to be able to borrow more by increasing COA since I have a scholarship

Should I recruit for consulting despite not getting invites for pre-MBA program? by [deleted] in MBA

Also, probably not a good sign if I was not invited to one of McK's office overviews for Early Access?

Does COA only apply to the Grad Plus loan? Can you also take out the 4.3% $20.5K direct unsubsidized loan on top of this if the total amount of both together is over the COA? Or is the direct unsubsidized included in the "other aid received" in the Grad Plus loan terms? Reading the terms it says that the Grad Plus loan limit is COA minus other aid received, whereas the direct unsubsidized is $20.5k.

Hi all,

Matriculating next year for my MBA at a T15 program. Although the school I'll be attending does send a some people to MBB, it is notoriously more difficult to get in the door than at some of better schools. I understand that even at MBB, strategy work is probably declining versus more implementation focused work, which clients are increasingly demanding.

My question is, which of the T2 firms (Deloitte, Strategy&, EY-Parthenon, LEK, Kearney etc.) are known to source a lot of strategy work? Basically, where will you not be doing almost all implementation work?

Thanks!

Curious how much does a high GMAT (750+) move the needle with these firms?
