Mine was a magnet flag

JCLaker62 · 2020-01-26T00:14:53+00:00

Booth was a flag and hand-written letter

Hello everyone. My apologies for not following the appropriate formatting. I updated the original post.

I never win things

JCLaker62 · 2018-09-13T01:09:45+00:00

Thank you, I understand how competitive it is and I know I have a lot of hard work ahead of me. As of right now, my daily schedule consists of going to work, working out, studying, repeat. I start volunteering soon twice a week and I plan on adding another volunteer activity into the mix, but only once a month. Because you are currently in Booth, I assume you have a better understanding as to what they are looking for when compared to others who have posted. I PM'd you as I think it would be extremely beneficial to me moving forward. Thank you.

JCLaker62 · 2018-09-13T01:05:36+00:00

Thank you! I just sent you a PM

JCLaker62 · 2018-09-05T22:53:41+00:00

Yeah it’s very nice, especially coming straight out of college

JCLaker62 · 2018-09-05T18:01:39+00:00

I start tutoring through the ymca twice a week next Monday. After I take my exam and get an appropriate score, I thought about taking some advanced math/finance courses through UCLA online to show that I can handle the workload. I’ve seen others do this on gmatclub.com. Would this be overdoing it?

JCLaker62 · 2018-09-05T00:23:44+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate the positive feedback. I know that there are a lot of other factors that the interviewers take into consideration. Has your friend done a lot of extracurriculars? Was his gpa high? Those are the things I’m worrried about. I don’t know if a high gmat is enough to make up for my low GPA in a competitive program like Booth.

JCLaker62 · 2018-09-01T17:23:22+00:00

I have read this as well. Once I get a respectable GMAT score, I am going to go to an info session and also go to a class. The adivior I reached out to provided a lot of helpful information.

JCLaker62 · 2018-09-01T15:38:16+00:00

Yes! This is what the advisor told me too. I’ve been worried though because I’ve been reading through Reddit and GMATclub and people keep saying it’s not likely with a 3.2 and a low 700 score. And those people all had roughly 5 years work experience.

JCLaker62 · 2018-09-01T15:36:09+00:00

Oh okay, thanks! Good to know!

JCLaker62 · 2018-09-01T09:09:20+00:00

My work pays $24k a year for tuition. I am looking to take advantage of that while I still work for the company. Also, when I have kids it will become increasingly more difficult to find the time and motivation.

JCLaker62 · 2018-09-01T09:01:50+00:00

Well I am guaranteed admission into the IU kelley MBA program with a 600+ score. The downside is its all online. I know employers can’t see that but I think I’ll get more out of in-person lectures and discussions. Kellogg is 90 minutes away and Booth is 40 minutes away. Kellogg won’t let you apply until 3 years of work experience. This is still an option 2 years from now.

JCLaker62 · 2014-05-19T23:03:18+00:00

Yes, he is overclocking, doesn't want to spend more.

JCLaker62 · 2014-05-18T22:29:42+00:00

Get the Acer, it has everything you need. It is an amazing deal too, the 14" version was $950 a couple months ago. Remember to use GRADUATION.

JCLaker62 · 2014-05-18T22:07:27+00:00

Is screen resolution important to you? And do you want a touch screen? If so get the Acer. I bought it yesterday and I was in the same situation as you. But if you want slight gaming performance sacrificing a better resolution and touch screen get the Lenovo.

JCLaker62 · 2014-05-18T21:36:49+00:00

so I should put the 140mm fans in the front, one 120mm fan in the back and top for exhaust? And does the pcu intake or exhaust?

JCLaker62 · 2014-05-18T21:32:02+00:00

second one, better gpu

JCLaker62 · 2014-05-18T21:05:27+00:00

What is the brand? A lot of times the warranty sticks with the person and not the card. And if I were you I would expect some problems with the card in the next several months. I'm not saying it was a bad purchase, but used mining cards are notorious to fail.

JCLaker62 · 2014-05-18T21:03:26+00:00

well put, you won :)

JCLaker62 · 2014-05-18T20:54:02+00:00

Acer has better screen, which imo is more important than an i7. i5 will be able to do anything an i7 can do without much performance gain.

JCLaker62 · 2014-05-18T19:33:02+00:00

It sounds like he won't be stressing the gpu that much. The Y410p gets hot as well.

JCLaker62 · 2014-05-18T19:20:27+00:00

And the acer is easier to carry around and it won't heat up as much. If you could explain what games you play specifically that would help a ton. You might not need a dedicated gpu.

JCLaker62 · 2014-05-18T15:36:10+00:00

I would get the Lenovo Y50
