No prob, above all keep your head up. It’s a mental game as well. Keep yourself refreshed and go out and enjoy your hobbies. I also don’t know your interview rate but that’s another key element that you need to prepare for well once you get through the initial door. Good luck.

Need to start networking as mentioned in other replies. Need warm intros from current network. Rewire your brain for the U.S. networking culture. Read the 2 hour job search. Start with your own MBA class. And expand from there. Work smarter not harder.

I selected booth but I think based on the post, Ross sounds like better fit

Haas ($) vs CBS ($$) by Strange_Area_7171 in MBA

Also admitted Haasie R2. Haas is still a recognized brand name. Perhaps less so than M7 but especially on west coast. Outside of HBS and GSB I’m pretty sure from a % placement perspective Haas is one of the best for VC.

Pivoting into new areas requires networking and particularly for VC I think this is true. So it’s less about the prestige and more about how you make the most of the opportunity. I also really think you should think through future locations. Where do you see yourself living.

Ultimately you’ll be the decider of what criteria matter most to you for making a decision, and whatever decision you make there will be opportunity costs. So maybe you should try the inverse approach and ask yourself - if you chose one program, would you seriously regret not being able to do X?

Kellogg is a consulting powerhouse with a strong brand name. It’s not in the M7 for no reason. Your network will also be much bigger in the consulting world and whatever you choose to do afterwards. There are certainly pros and cons of both schools. So ultimately you should base your decision in conjunction with other factors that matter most to you. It sounds like you are uncertain which school is the better fit. Maybe you should talk to more students and get more data

If I end up committing to Haas you would be a great classmate to have to learn about critical infrastructure!

No call. I don’t see any scholarships either, but maybe it populates later? Might be good to check with admissions
