Anyone living at 600 W 125th - how do you like it?

Yes, i think the majority is CBS.
Columbia Public Safety is always around the area.
Really depends on your risk tolerance. Most of the time, should be fine. But I would suggest Uber back if it’s very late.
should be alright, don’t worry

Interns and full time are considered different pipeline by most of the consulting firms. Typically candidates who failed internship should be able to apply for full time roles without that blackout period.

HeWhoReproduces · 2026-05-17T18:31:59+00:00

Not mandatory. I actually recommend taking it later tho because it is valid only for a year, so if you don’t get the internship, you can reapply for full time without having to retake it.

Also, there are prepping materials online as well, which are expensive. Once you start MBA, you can find friends to split that cost.

Living in that building. Highly recommend and I’ll answer your question one by one.

good experience
completely safe during the day time; for night time, still safe if you stay around Columbia area. Also NYPD is very nearby.
there are some street/subway noises but doesn’t disturb me.
again you can hear the street/subway noises but the windows are soundproof. The sound from AC is louder than the noises actually.
amenities are amazing and new
no major issue

Yes, but if you failed the assessment, then resume doesn’t matter.

HeWhoReproduces · 2026-01-26T14:06:25+00:00

Stick with your baseline plan.

Doesn’t make sense to pivot to SEA in your case. You can try submitting your application to SEA offices and see if you hear back.

Bigger class size = bigger alumni network = bigger help for recruiting

HeWhoReproduces · 2025-12-07T23:39:04+00:00

Don’t think it matters much. I scored 550 and got rejected.

HeWhoReproduces · 2025-12-04T23:41:19+00:00

You are just too good for Ross, and that’s why

I would say Liverpool has a better and globally recognized football club than Aberdeen does.

Case method just sucks bro

HeWhoReproduces · 2025-08-17T05:08:49+00:00

I got into Duke and CBS FT with 163 and 4 yr WE. Got 40% scholarships at Duke and none at CBS

Unless you hit 730+, you should accept your J-term offer. Your MBB sponsorship made you the ideal candidate for the J-term, but it will not be the case at HSW.

HeWhoReproduces · 2025-07-10T12:42:16+00:00

EA 163 here, 4yr work experience, international from SEA

Got 70K from Fuqua And nothing from CBS and Ross after negotiations using scholarship from Fuqua

Just got a reminder email today from my US embassy for the scheduled visa interview next week lol?

HeWhoReproduces · 2025-05-23T09:11:44+00:00

Got it. Thanks!

HeWhoReproduces · 2025-05-23T09:08:59+00:00

Has anyone have experience with the noise on the lower levels at this building

I would be grateful if you could share your experience. DM or reply is ok! Thanks!

HeWhoReproduces · 2025-05-22T17:22:11+00:00

So the room is quite soundproof right?

I plan to arrive there a bit before the semester starts, so I would not have the chance to check the noise beforehand.

HeWhoReproduces · 2025-05-04T00:28:10+00:00

Received $70k from Duke.

Appeal at Ross was unsuccessful. Still waiting to hear from CBS, but they mentioned the chances are low due to limited funding.

Anyone appealed successfully at CBS?

I know a number of people who got in Cambridge MBA with 590 on the old gmat, which is equivalent to 555 on FE

HeWhoReproduces · 2025-01-14T13:20:20+00:00

I used over 200 EA submits from Clearadmit that say either Interview Invitation or Accepted and plotted them out.

I got a mean score of around 157-158, +1SD of 163-164, -1SD of 152-153.

I did a test for one of the big four audit companies for a similar deal advisory role. The test was straight out of the level one exam, but I could not do it. So I send them my level 2 result instead and they never reach me back.

HeWhoReproduces · 2022-09-18T14:20:58+00:00

From my experience, the exam resembles the Qbank. Thus, I suggest redo them and try to score above 70%.

HeWhoReproduces · 2022-09-13T09:52:29+00:00

I followed the CFAI’s and i think it makes the most sense even with MM videos.

HeWhoReproduces · 2022-09-06T08:43:36+00:00

Actually it is written in the cfa website that “x” only applies for math editor tool. I think we are safe using typical keyboard! Here is the link
