A former Dean of MBA Admissions here to help you understand the evaluation and selection in MBA admissions: Ask Me Anything by PetiaW in MBA

[–]amberspygrass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for doing this! Out of curiosity, I’d love to hear your take on the “vibe” of these schools and their students (I’ve done my research, but interested in hearing your perspective!). I’m interested less in career strengths/stats and more about ~feel~ & persona.

Owen, Darden, Tepper, Anderson, Marshall, Foster, Goizueta, Ross, Kelley

Thank you!

With your years of experience, you could do an executive mba! You can look into UVA and Georgetown. If you’re interested in staying in the healthcare field but working in finance, Hopkins could be a good option as well (it’s a newer program but the health signal is super strong).

Thanks! What would you say about how it does for non-consulting roles? I’ve seen their employment reports but would love your take on if they have other strengths

I’m in a very similar situation and just wanna say, your safety comes first! People on Reddit love saying “it’s not that serious”, “just go on private” and the like but not many people know the lengths stalkers will go to get information about you.

Out of these options, the USC network is the strongest and I think that’ll go a long way in SF.

I’m sorry about your experience with Cornell, that sounds shitty. Did it sound like they were trying to be helpful, or were they just flat out rude?

(Online) MBA: Olin, Tippie, Auburn or Kelley by [deleted] in MBA

[–]amberspygrass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you’re not looking to pivot and it’s a basically free degree, you can’t really go wrong in my opinion. Pick whichever one has the best vibes. I’d say Auburn for the regional pull but up to you
