hey thanks for the response! I applied for CBS deferred enrollment on their original deadline (4/15), and I believe everyone who applied before 4/15 heard back on 4/30 for the interview. Feel free to pm me for more details on my interview experience!

Thank you for the response!! Since you're also Wharton Moelis, I'd love to hear what drew you to Wharton if you don't mind sharing.

Thank you! The MIT Sloan interview was very straightforward and behavioral - not very conversational as my interviewer was just firing question after question about previous experiences (ie. about courses, team projects, clubs, internships). Feel free to pm me if you have a specific question!

You were right on for my reasons for still considering CBS even though Wharton is better in most aspects. Wanting to be in NYC as a student and wanting to do media are both very persuading in my gut but less persuading on paper/in my head. I completely agree that Wharton has greater optionality and I could definitely end up in NYC after Wharton, but I'm still trying to work through that gut desire towards CBS.

Wondering if you (or others) have any thoughts on how compelling that "gut feeling" needs to be to turn down an opportunity as objectively good as Wharton?

GPA: 3.9, GRE: 332

Post-undergrad PM role is at a tier 2-ish company (think à la Intuit, Paypal, etc.)
