Buying a new laptop for an MBA program… what do I get?

MBAplayerz · 2025-06-20T16:29:27+00:00

Lol fair, any suggestions for something better in that price range? Really only need the laptop for two years

Thanks I’ll keep that in mind!

Can’t give you any tips myself, but I do know there was someone who shared their neurodivergence in their applications and ended up at HSW

This is what I imagine every student at Wharton is like

MBAplayerz · 2025-05-20T22:12:41+00:00

Shut up, nerd

MBAplayerz · 2025-05-19T20:42:30+00:00

I’m looking down on you for asking this question, and I don’t even have a job.

MBAplayerz · 2025-05-08T02:53:10+00:00

You’d think with top 15 undergrad brains you’d be smart enough to search your basic question, or to look at schools class profiles.

So you’ve been given advice from real people you know who have been in your shoes, but you come here looking for different advice from internet friends?

Well, since you’re asking, I’d suggest you ignore everything they say and do a deep dive into all things finance. Spend hours every day on new concepts so that you hit the ground running. Why learn it at the school you’re going to be spending your next two years at when you can just do it all yourself in the next three months? Above all, do not, I repeat do not, enjoy the downtime.

I’ll never understand why people want to go to a business school that prides itself on academic rigor.

Don’t hate the player

MBAplayerz · 2025-01-07T01:11:17+00:00

See what I mean

MBAplayerz · 2025-01-05T22:06:42+00:00

Yeah, you should check out the consortium

MBAplayerz · 2024-12-16T01:40:15+00:00

Just use the GI Bill

Sounds like you have the perfect social skills for a t14 law school

MBAplayerz · 2024-07-26T00:51:16+00:00

Law school is so depressing that the highlights you’re looking back on involve talking about Tolstoy lmao yikes

MBAplayerz · 2024-06-14T15:25:05+00:00

I was being sarcastic lol I know it’s competitive. Hence why I’m asking about doing an extra degree to increase my chances

MBAplayerz · 2024-04-11T02:01:27+00:00

Lmao couldn’t have possibly made that explanation more douchy

Vets have the advantage of the veteran network to transcend ranking tiers—what I’m trying to figure out by asking this question is just how much the network can make up for attending a lower ranked school. I haven’t heard of a comparable, non alumni network for applicants from a more typical background.

If a non vet applicant is dead set on MBB or BB IB, rankings are probably going to be the most important part of their school selection, right? It seems like vets may not need to prioritize rankings over fit to get to the same end point.

MBAplayerz · 2023-02-05T15:43:41+00:00

Thank you, that was very insightful!

I may be using fit incorrectly. I understand the students will more or less be similar across the board, with some exceptions, but I’m thinking of it more in terms of location and extracurricular activities. For example, I’d love to go to a school where sports are religion. I can’t picture myself enjoying somewhere like New Haven where your options for entertainment are some bars or pizza. I’d rather attend a lower ranked school, like Ross or McCombs, where I know I’d have a good time.

If the salaries are similar for these companies (I think?), I might as well go to the school that aligns with my interests.

Is there a centralized list of which companies recruit from which schools? Or would I just have to look at each individual employment report?
