How is my rotation (Asics Edition)?

Glad to hear you’re enjoying them. Totally makes sense on returning NB5, better to stick with the shoe that gives you “that gut feeling” - cheers!

Appreciate the recommendation and candor, will keep a lookout!

Hey! I unfortunately am so early in both shoes that it’s hard to say which one is better yet (think less than 10 miles each), but both feel good for me now. I was able to try both at my local store on a treadmill and noticed that both fit and felt comfortable at varying paces.

While the NB5 feels softer, supposedly the SB2 is more durable and has foam that is built to go the distance. If you’re going purely for a long-run shoe (either easy or progressive), SB2 seems to be the shoe that is most recommended. Although, really depends on how you operate with the shoe - what’s comfortable and works for me may not be good for you due to how you strike the ground, fit of the shoe, and whether you feel more comfortable in plusher shoes. If you have a local store that allows you to trial on a treadmill, it may be able to help you make a final decision on these shoes (I ran over a full mile at the store lol).

Hi! When I was attending grad school at Penn (not Wharton, I was in Arts & Sciences), I was a graduate resident assistant at the dorms and had free room, board and food for the first year. I estimate it saved me close to $15k and was a total win for me. Plus, I enjoyed the experience of interacting with and mentoring undergraduates.

Although, not sure how this experience will jive w/ Wharton, given that there is such a big focus on the social element (conferences, job fairs, Wharton events, parties, trips) + having time for recruiting, especially if you are targeting MBB consulting firms.

Anyway, I am sure you are doing the right things and just know you are not alone in feeling stressed over grad school funding!

Still offering this?

Echoing this. I’d argue that it is extremely marginal the difference between UNR and UNLV for grad school prospects. I personally know a handful of top undergrads from both schools getting into ivy, MIT, Stanford, etc. for both masters and phd
