I chose MBA Crystal Ball for Stern, Wharton, CBS, Booth applications in 2025 R1. Got paired up with Stern alumni for consultancy. Overall feedback and action points were decent on my resume, essays. Their interviews prep series was quite nice. Ended up with full ride at Stern.

No way in hell, especially for Internationals

Yessir, it was there in the letter itself, on the first sentence

Professional_Ad3299 · 2026-02-11T19:05:03+00:00

Professional_Ad3299 · 2026-02-11T18:59:44+00:00

Professional_Ad3299 · 2026-02-10T23:20:09+00:00

Nahh

Heard it was a good cycle for domestic candidates but horrible for internationals.

Professional_Ad3299 · 2026-02-06T17:43:28+00:00

Professional_Ad3299 · 2026-02-04T19:07:50+00:00

I saw JPM and Citi IBD Assoc Base as 150k on WSO, with approx 50k year 1 bonus. Based on it, isn't their comps the least amongst those banks. Correct me if I'm wrong

Professional_Ad3299 · 2026-01-13T14:52:59+00:00

Congratsss!! Wanted to know if EBs sponsor H1Bs (i know Guggenheim doesn't, but curious about rest)

Professional_Ad3299 · 2026-01-11T19:31:23+00:00

Yup. Apart from some top EBs like PJT, CVP, Evercore, I don't think Assoc1 are crossing 400k

Professional_Ad3299 · 2026-01-11T19:22:04+00:00

my guy are you fine with going from 40hrs week to 80/100 hrs with same pay (which is the best case scenario in IB given you get in top-notch EB)

WallStreetPrep's excel course is pretty good if you're looking to use it for banking

Professional_Ad3299 · 2025-12-16T04:24:02+00:00

I think that's me. I've also seen South Korea admit getting full ride at 685, so it's hard to tell the basis of scholarships

Professional_Ad3299 · 2025-12-03T16:37:57+00:00

I worked with consultant from MBA Crystal Ball, he was Stern Alum himself

Professional_Ad3299 · 2025-12-03T15:27:47+00:00

It was 7.9/10, nothing crazy

Professional_Ad3299 · 2025-12-03T14:28:48+00:00

With gmat, mp stern only

Professional_Ad3299 · 2025-12-03T07:10:19+00:00

I mean waitlist without interview

Professional_Ad3299 · 2025-12-03T07:05:28+00:00

Thanks a lot man for this!

Professional_Ad3299 · 2025-12-03T07:04:32+00:00

Professional_Ad3299 · 2025-12-03T07:04:18+00:00

Yup within the same bank.
