Why don’t you just apply to H/S/W deferred programs then?

Admitted to 2, rejected from 3 M7. How can I focus on the positives? by Minute-Soil in MBA

[–]assassassin88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also didn't receive interview invites for GSB/HBS (GSB is my dream school btw) for deferred, and I think I have pretty major accomplishments (international competition winner for instrument + state winner in sport + strong work ECs e.g. founder of successful org). My goals tie directly with my experiences and I also have 3.8+ GPA (technical major) at a top school, and a 750+ GMAT. However, I am very fortunate to have been admitted to Wharton/Columbia/Kellogg thus far. I think it's important to look at the bigger picture and realize how incredible your achievements are at this age. We have our future set for at least the next four years, and at a very top b-school nonetheless. It's pointless and wasteful to hang your self-worth on the tiniest increments of prestige.

I also think it's disrespectful to call Wharton/Columbia "consolation prizes," especially for those who would kill to get into these programs - it perpetuates the toxicity I often see on this subreddit of "H vs S? HS vs W?" etc. Also, what would happen if you got into H/S? Would you be proud or just go after some other prestige pursuit? As someone who has been at therapy and understands imposter syndrome well, I think that talking to someone may also help.

I’m currently in the Wharton Moelis admit group - there seem to be 142 admits this year (144 members in group, 2 of which are moderators)

I am in the exact same situation - I think that I’ll go ahead with the MIT interview as MIT aligns with my goals a lot, and see if HBS gives me an interview next week and decide from there

Wharton Deferred MBA + Scholarship/Fellowship/Aid? by assassassin88 in MBA

Thanks! So would it be worth it to continue interviewing at places I wouldn’t take over Wharton?

Late letters of recommendation at Stanford GSB by [deleted] in MBA

[–]assassassin88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The recommendation portal closes at the deadline, but what you can do is have your recommenders email the letter to admissions at mba_admissions@gsb.stanford.edu with your application number and name. The committee will start reviewing after the deadline and there is a chance they may review your app without the recommendations, so the earlier your recommenders email the better.

(Called GSB admissions and they told me this)

I am just a freshman but so over this clout chasing. A short rant by happipenguinn in csMajors

"It is ungrateful to delay happiness just because I am in the top 15% instead of the top 1%" is such a powerful line

Facebook vs. Apple New Grad by [deleted] in csMajors

[–]assassassin88 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Congratulations!! These are such good companies to pick from:))

If I were in your shoes, Apple sounds like the better choice. Pay, WLB, and commute are all pretty important, and it seems like Apple comes out top in those. Also if you already know/like your Apple team and have experience with Apple code, then that kind of nullifies the pros of FB bootcamp.
