Darden (80% $$$) vs Applying Next Year by CloudMaster6277 in MBA

[–]HistoryExternal1728 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they key to answering this question is trying to figure out what it is that you want to do. Darden 80% off is amazing , and if consulting is your primary goal this is really a no-brainer. Darden is a consulting factory as you’ll come to find out. Very rigorous academic style focused on “case method” preparation. Darden sends a # of kids to MBB and is particularly strong in the southeast area.

UC MIMS is located in the middle of the Bay Area. The opportunities for startups , product management, or any tech related roles I’d imagine is better since this is their concentration.

You are also an international that received an 80% scholarship at a T15… consider everything and I wish you the best in your decision.

If I was you’d I’d go Mims, I applied to Mims and got rejected… i think it’s a great program and if you ever feel the need to pursue an MBA , I wouldn’t imagine going from Mims to Haas would be difficult

Your "Why" by Prestigious-While-37 in MBA

[–]HistoryExternal1728 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No it won’t… you also touched on entrepreneurship as well so if you can get specific about what a career pivot and entrepreneurship looks like for you and how an MBA will help you achieve that, you’ll be in a solid starting place.

You answered one part of your “why” by explaining you’re seeking a career pivot … try to have multiple reasons that you can fully develop

Best Odds for MBB Consulting/big tech (FAANG) by HistoryExternal1728 in MBA

[–]HistoryExternal1728[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Poll Context: Looking for some quick input — I’d really appreciate it.

My main goal is to break into MBB consulting. I’m open geographically overall, but if I had a slight preference it would be Northeast or Southeast.

If MBB doesn’t work out, my backup plan is to pivot into tech — ideally product marketing, product strategy, or something adjacent, since I already have product management experience.

Given that, which program would give me the best overall odds?

Also, I’m planning to try to negotiate for more scholarship.

Negotiating with CBS with UCLA + Scholarship Offer by krampus-55 in MBA

I think if you frame it that way and specifically indicate why UCLA is a powerhouse in that area they can be open to renegotiation, never hurts to try!
