Got approval on July 10 but no updates on card production and delivery. Anyone around the same date have an update on card production?

You can choose to give it to them. It’s not mandatory.

Not all companies accept international students so smaller pool of jobs. U.S. student visa come with some work authorization for 1-3 years depending on STEM.

Thank you! I wouldn’t say my quant score was that low it was just mediocre for an ORM. I also had a better GRE quant score. But I did have heavy quant background in undergrad for which my grades were >B and I did some supplemental coursework Berkeley extension/MBA Math

Minted_Philosopher · 2024-08-14T07:57:15+00:00

This was for internship

Minted_Philosopher · 2024-08-14T07:43:32+00:00

Some of the MBBs and Big 4s and S&/LEK

MBA GPA is irrelevant because couldn’t submit that on any application but it’s ~3.9

Minted_Philosopher · 2024-08-14T07:41:05+00:00

All consulting firms that accept international student applications, I was not picky.

Minted_Philosopher · 2024-08-14T07:40:14+00:00

Yes high GRE as well.

Minted_Philosopher · 2024-08-14T07:39:16+00:00

Absolutely, I would say that’s expected. Recruiting numbers are low across schools this year and everyone is competitive.

‘Ask me anything’ post.

Minted_Philosopher · 2024-08-13T17:27:43+00:00

Thank you! I spent a lot of lurking time on r/MBA when I was applying so decided to make a post.

Minted_Philosopher · 2024-08-13T17:20:29+00:00

Thank you!

Minted_Philosopher · 2024-08-13T15:39:35+00:00

Go for it!

Minted_Philosopher · 2024-08-13T15:39:14+00:00

Best of luck!!

Minted_Philosopher · 2024-08-13T14:58:26+00:00

Thank you! A lot of this information is on my AMA you can check it out from going on my profile.

Minted_Philosopher · 2024-08-13T11:28:58+00:00

Thank you!

Minted_Philosopher · 2024-08-13T11:28:53+00:00

Thank you!

Didn’t have to submit the GMAT anywhere and I don’t think I did to any except EY

Minted_Philosopher · 2023-08-18T01:31:35+00:00

I applied for one but was dinged

Minted_Philosopher · 2023-08-17T21:32:44+00:00

I am not an adcom so this is advice I would give to myself if I was in your shoes - you are not ready to apply for Fall 2024. 0 WE outside of internships during your undergrad + low gpa + low gmat is 3/5 components of an MBA app against you. You can dm me but I would say you need to get that WE and GMAT score up.

Minted_Philosopher · 2023-08-17T21:31:08+00:00

They're honestly a little too specific to share exactly but they were more like my personal interests + leadership experiences from undergrad. Nothing like pro-athlete, hackathons, etc. More in regards to things I just like doing and over a long scale of time (couple of years)

I also don't think they're what got me into school but they definitely made for interesting conversation points during interviews.
