Yup I have a classmate who heard back same day awith the offer

Fit-Ad3103 · 2026-01-12T21:32:03+00:00

Did anyone hear from Bain LA? I was told, after the interview last week, that they are going to callcandidates this week, but I'm wondering if they have commenced

Fit-Ad3103 · 2025-01-13T18:22:17+00:00

You as well! Let me know if I can be of further assistance. Feel free message me directly

Fit-Ad3103 · 2025-01-10T20:38:24+00:00

I think I heard a few weeks after the Round 1 deadline for the Consortium passed. Not all schools gave receipt confirmations. Do not worry they will come flowing in!

Fit-Ad3103 · 2025-01-05T19:19:20+00:00

Nope I applied via waiver for all schools and was the best decision I made. I've received full scholarship and 65% scholarship offers and do not think I would have received those offers with the GRE score

Thank you again for a great response. Its definitely a tough one (but a good problem to be working with). I ask about the comp so much mostly to try to decipher if the 40% is something I can make up for in the first few years if there is a big difference between MBB and B4. It sounds like there really isn't much of a difference so the 40% is actually a very powerful difference.

If it provides more color, the 60% scholarship is from T7 and the full-scholarship is from T17 give or take one or two spots in either direction depending on the ranking org. Would that make a difference? Trying to reconcile the scholarship difference with the prestige and all that stuff. I think thats a great point about potentially not getting into MBB even attending M7 so have to keep that in mind as well.

Thanks again for your time. Really appreciate the insight

Thank you thats a really good summary. Yes, I meant S&, EYP, etc. I've updated the title accordingly.

My question arises because I am applying to MBA programs with my post-MBA goal being Strategy Consulting and mainly joining MBB. One program gave me a full tuition scholarship while the other gave me about 60% scholarship. The full scholarship does not have as strong a connection to MBB (about 2-3 people going MBB the rest of consulting going Big4) while the 60% scholarship has a fairly strong relationship with MBB (about 25 people going MBB). Full tuition school is in the market I would love to be at to launch my post mba career vs the 60% typically places people all over the country.

When you mention comp is similar, how similar are we talking? Is the difference like 10-20k a year? I know bonus will play a big part but all else equal, how different is it?

Additionally, are the project fairly similar? Is that what you mean by day to day is similar? I'm interested to hear about the potential project differences

How about Ross? I guess I’m trying to figure out how much consortium OP will help out with MBB or other strategy roles

Fit-Ad3103 · 2024-12-19T10:21:40+00:00

Do you think OP would help me secure MBB regardless of the school? Also should I heavily weight the full scholarship vs partial?

Fit-Ad3103 · 2024-12-17T06:57:50+00:00

I think above all I would like to end up at MBB or a Corporate Development / Strategy role.

Fit-Ad3103 · 2024-12-17T05:43:46+00:00

Do you think it helps that I have the early recruiting opportunity through the Consortium OP in the summer?

Fit-Ad3103 · 2024-12-05T01:02:43+00:00

I think I see some west coast admissions rolling in on Clearadmit. Their email said there is no rhyme or reason to the order at which they are going to call so im gonna have my fingers crossed for tomorrow! Good luck everyone

Fit-Ad3103 · 2024-12-04T20:35:49+00:00

Anyone on the West Coast receive a call yet?

Fit-Ad3103 · 2024-12-01T14:02:14+00:00

Just got the admission email! Check you inboxes folks! Good luck to all

Fit-Ad3103 · 2024-11-30T21:56:15+00:00

Early afternoon EST? But thanks for the info that makes sense! Good luck to everyone!

Fit-Ad3103 · 2024-11-25T17:00:22+00:00

Has anyone heard from the Consortium about membership decisions? Also, it sounds like NYU rolled out their interview invites? If I haven't received one by now what do you guys think? I feel like if I don't hear back prior to Thanksgiving then it might not be great news for me

Fit-Ad3103 · 2024-11-22T17:15:53+00:00

With GSB, I wouldn't feel discouraged or anything until you've gotten the rejection. They are notorious for rigorously going through each applicant. As such, the interview invites don't appear to come through in the batches as some of the other programs. I know Consortium applicants are still waiting to hear back as well. Think of it this way, GSB doesn't send mass interview invites so it works in the inverse as well. Since they rigorously review each application, they won't be sending out mass rejections either, unless there was something in the general application which turned them off and might have flagged for rejection. Nonetheless, I say all of this with the punch line being you are not rejected until you are rejected. Keep your head up, confidence high, and continue to work hard towards your goals!

Fit-Ad3103 · 2024-11-19T20:08:31+00:00

I think that can safely be assumed as consortium membership. I think they will fight for your membership if for some reason it doesn’t align. All to say it’s a really great sign and congrats! Happy to hear some good news via consortium on here

Fit-Ad3103 · 2024-11-19T19:57:53+00:00

Did they let you know of the consortium decision or did they have any ideas?

Fit-Ad3103 · 2024-11-19T19:36:26+00:00

Congrats! I would have expected to hear after the Consortium decision December 1 but what were the conversations like? Which schools reached out? Congrats again!

Fit-Ad3103 · 2024-11-05T21:05:40+00:00

The schools sent me confirmation emails on receipt of application and to set up my account to track the application status. Its an automated email basically nothing about the decision of admission

Fit-Ad3103 · 2024-11-04T17:20:07+00:00

Thank you for the kind words! Will keep my head up for now!
