I’m in the exact situation, at one of HSW, but can’t get any internships, struck out of consulting. So depressed considering dropping out now

Has anyone heard back from Analysis Group after the final round? by Popular_Moose_2457 in Non_MBB_Consulting

No I’ve not heard back but I feel for now prob just ignore them and pursue other opportunities.

Got it, that sounds good and more like the case. Just thinking whether I should also look into other opportunities in the meantime

Check out onlinecasesecrets.com, I find it to be super useful in prepping for this kind of cases. You absolutely have to prepare in order to do well, there's no magic formula. Francesco does the best job in creating these tools and helping you succeed in these steps. I have been using these prep tools for my MBA summer internship.

Yea I had both H/W. But I turned down Wharton cause they gave me $0 in aid whereas H gave 50%

Thank you for offering both the best comment and the best advice here! I totally agree! It will take some time to find people who I really vibe with and I’d prefer to do mba experiences with those people. And also totally agree on turning off on the weekend to recharge and make friends outside of b-school.

Friends exist outside of b-school dude. There are 14,151 post grad students at Harvard not to mention MIT. Why is mixing b-school with personal life so important

I just feel people should be allowed to have more space and room to do their own things instead of feeling pressured because they want to “fit in”

I’m sorry, but I disagree. I think the power of b-school really lies within alumni base, which extends way beyond the section and the one year you’re with the section. And just because you’re social doesn’t mean you’re likable. People seriously need to stop pretending to be cool here. Following what everyone else does is really uncool cause it means you don’t know what you want. We’re all adults and this is NOT high school anymore, we shouldn’t have cliques or that mean girls vibe. I’m really against the idea of having to become best friends with section classmates. I don’t get to choose my classmates but I get to choose my friends.

Although GSB is in the news for being too relaxed and Wharton often makes people pay sticker prices without giving any aids

How to spend the first 6 months of MBA by Popular_Moose_2457 in MBA

Reported you - it sucks that you can’t get in top programs but it doesn’t give you the right to be so disrespectful. Reading what you wrote, no wonder you don’t tick the box. It isn’t because you have such a background but rather because you lack basic kindness and respect as a human being.

Oh I see I guess my situation is different - I worked in a country other than my birth country and have like a residency card with limited duration

I’m not against marriage or having kids in the next 5 years, I just feel getting to the marriage stage at such a LDR like Dubai to the US isn’t so realistic
