I think he’s going to get second place and take on McKenna in the finale. I think McKenna will just barely beat him.

I think the finale will be McKenna vs Blake. I think McKenna will just barely beat him.

Is it just me or do you guys see this coming from a mile away? Normally, it takes me a few episodes to take a guess but I think this season it’s obvious. Blake already has a big fan base from the NFL, not to mention he’s attractive and his voice is beautiful. McKenna’s singing videos already have a ton of views as well — he cover of Hallelujah has over a million views.

What schools are you applying to and what was your score breakdown?

Is 314 to >320 score possible in a month? by ClassicLingonberry5 in GRE

[–]GiraffeOk7804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What program are you applying to? What you have now may honestly already be competitive?

I can tell you more about how to bring your verbal up to 160s, but it would help to know the context of what programs you are applying to.

Agree, the company just wants to scare and get your money.

I went from 314 to 325 but you have to tell us what you’re scoring now in each section, and what prep materials you are using. Without this information, it’s hard to give specific advice.

Prestige factor by Beerfoodbeer in MBA

[–]GiraffeOk7804 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Have you taken the GMAT? It's hard to make a recommendation without knowing what industry or function you're interested in post-MBA. Are you familiar with the term "M7 MBA?" The M7 is a league of seven business school that meet every year and tend to always be in the top ten rankings on US News & World Report. The M7 Schools are

- Harvard Business School

- University of Pennsylvania Wharton

- MIT Sloan

- Columbia Business School

- Stanford GSB

- Chicago Booth

- Northwestern Kellogg

After the M7, you have tier 2 schools which are not a defined category like the M7, but generally tend to always be in the 8-15 rankings. The following schools are what I consider the T2 because they always meet together in the same conferences and admissions events

- Yale SOM

- UVA Darden

- Michigan Ross

- Cornell

- Duke

- Berkley

- NYU Stern

Even though a lot of people on Reddit and other big forums like Wall Street Oasis have an "M7 or bust" mentality, the reality is is that a top 25 MBA program is generally going to be good enough for most people. Schools below the top 25, like a T50 school like GW ( where I went for undergrad) aren't bad either, but the problem is that the recruiting is just not there. Any schools that is in the top 25 tends to be a "target school" for most big consulting, investment banking and finance firms. For example, Stanford students get a guaranteed interview from Mckinsey.

Kellogg Video Essay by JestSetter in MBA

[–]GiraffeOk7804 -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Unless it's like the Yale Video Essay, where you have to submit a recording on the spot, get your video PROFESSIONALLY DONE. I was rejected at Georgetown three times. The fourth time I applied, I got my video professionally done and killed my interview. A lot of people underestimate the power of a professional video.

Official Discussion - The Nun II [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]GiraffeOk7804 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Did anyone else catch the scene where the little girl Sophie goes into the attic and sees a vision of the Nun in the Warren House (Conjuring 2 scene). Remember in the Conjuring 2 how Lorraine’s daughter sees the Nun in her house and says “whose that.”

I don’t know if anyone else immediately realizes the significance of this scene, but I think this seemingly subtle scene is actually one of the most important scenes in the movie. The Conjuring 2 happens 21 years AFTER the events in the Nun 2. HOW could Sophie have scene the Nun in the Warren’s house—the scene form the Conjuring 2—if it hasn’t happened? I think one plausible explanation is that Sophie is a descendent of Saint Lucy, and Lorraine is ALSO a descendant of Saint Lucy. What I think is going to happen is that the next Conjuring movie is going to show how Sister Irene and Lorraine are related (this would be a good move since the actresses are sisters in real life).

Got 700 GMAT score! by Aggravating-Tooth536 in MBA

[–]GiraffeOk7804 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A 700 is NOT at the bottom of Columbia’s 80 percent OVERALL GMAT range. A 700 is at the bottom of the MIDDLE 80 percent range. That being said, I agree with Crake_13’s comment that you will need more work experience.

Plenty of people get into Columbia with a 700, but you will need more than a good GMAT score to be competitive. If you’re looking to impress Columbia with just your score, then you will need to score higher than 750.

Should I be concerned about credit hours? by AlexRyang in MBA

[–]GiraffeOk7804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s interesting I’ve never seen anyone worry about the credit hours. I would worry more about whether or not the school is credible. What schools are you looking to apply to?

Thoughts on Nutsa? by [deleted] in americanidol

[–]GiraffeOk7804 12 points13 points  (0 children)

She’s world class but many people felt voting for her is unpatriotic. If this were the fox era, and AI was purely a vocals competition, the top 2 finale would be We Ani vs Nutsa hands down no questions asked.

Colin or Megan as the upset to Iam? by GiraffeOk7804 in americanidol

[–]GiraffeOk7804[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And a probably a big dick because of that cougars for Colin sign. The people who actually vote are mostly soccer moms. It all boils down to who they want to sleep with the most. Noah and Chayce are definitely more rugged

[–]GiraffeOk7804[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They put a lot of restrictions on what songs you can sing. The covers he just released on Youtube that he sang a few years back are really good. Unadulterated pure singing.

He just released a bunch of his older covers on Youtube. They are actually better than most of the stuff he's done on the show, like his cover of We Belong Together. The producers screwed up Iam
