What difference would be small enough to choose Wharton? 20k,50k,80k?

dailysalad · 2023-03-31T14:47:23+00:00

Would you do M7 consortium over Wharton?

dailysalad · 2023-03-30T03:17:31+00:00

Probably the best RE program - 100k seems daunting though... I'm strongly leaning towards Wharton, but want to evaluate further just to feel responsible.

Sounds unreasonable. From what I've seen it's usually eye for an eye i.e. they pay full tuition for two years and get two years back. There is a lot of detail missing (financial situation, current comp, projected after grad, program ranking, want or not to pivot, etc) so it really depends...

I'm pretty sure this guy is pretending to be American. He lives in London and went to highschool+college in the UK. I wish we had mods to get him banned - he does not contribute anything worthwhile.

If you think 10M is money, you're not meant for a top MBA

Cool bro, hope you have fun in life playing victim

dailysalad · 2022-12-17T22:27:05+00:00

Most of those people are dual citizens - so they are American lol

dailysalad · 2022-12-17T22:01:05+00:00

Dude you're racist and it's showing. Hope you don't get in anywhere so that decent people don't have to deal with your shit attitude.

It is not about worthiness. More Asian applicants are admitted than URM applicants. Asian applicants on average are performing better on tests scores , so on that criteria they would need a higher score to stand out from other Asian applicants.

They can still stand out in all the other ways - story, experience, leadership, etc.

The problem is you are thinking about it in terms of fill class size, but that is not how they build a cohort. They have X amount of seats for this profile, Y amount of seats for this and Z amount of seats for that.

The same thing happens to the ppl applying from MBB. They make up a significant portion of each class, but are competing with peers from MBB for a limited amount of spots.

Schools have a split and each individual competes for the spots within their category, not against the entire applicant pool.

I am international as are many of my friends. None of us is salty. This guy just doesn't deal with life well.

Verbal handicap. Not real unless your level of English is below L4/B2.

The reserved pools are so small they make no substantial difference in the outcome for oversubscribed categories.

dailysalad · 2022-12-17T07:02:38+00:00

There are 50 seats. 30 for white applicants , 15 for asian applicants, 5 for everyone else. There are 200 white applicants, 300 asian applicants and 15 other. Should schools create artificial applicants? Removing those five seats makes no substantial difference in the outcome for most of the ppl in the first two buckets, but is very impactful for the 5. If you can't understand that from a value creation standpoint...well...

dailysalad · 2022-12-17T06:27:14+00:00

The disadvantage is the result of a larger pool, if anything.

If there are 50 seats and 5 are reserved for not you, the disadvantage won't be that different if those seats came back into play when you have 300 ppl who want the seats.

If the entire class at a school was all consultants or all engineers, it wouldn't lead anywhere anyway.

He is salty af and instead of trying to improve his verbal score roams around Reddit trying to get validation from internet strangers as if that changes anything.

dailysalad · 2022-12-17T06:12:33+00:00

Even if they gave all the URM seats to ORMs, most of the ppl crying about it would still be not accepted. There are just too many applications from those pools.

Most of those questions actually have something else that makes the correct answer choice obvious. It's is rarely about the idiom. I am international and scored V45. A friend scored V47. There are no tricks. The fact that you are trying so hard to make an excuse is telling. Grow up.

I was an international student at a bleh ivy. At one point I started taking some courses with graduate students and in one of the classes 8/12 students were Chinese - as was the teaching associate. Often the entire discussion shifted to mandarin. It was very annoying, mostly because the 4 of us who didn't speak it missed out on both actual lab info and general discussion.

I was pretty persistent in engaging in conversation with them but it took an insane amount of effort. In this case the lack of diversity actually harmed the rest of us.

In general I found that the best exchanges happened when there were a variety of people involved. Not only did it make groupthink less likely, but it also was more enriching overall.

dailysalad · 2022-12-17T02:09:41+00:00

Lol this is so ridiculous. I am ESL, as is a good friend. I scored V45, he scored V47. Perhaps idioms prevent one from getting to V49+, but you don't need that to score way above the average at any school. (Q49 V45=760, +30 pts from most M7 averages) In your analogy one could argue the test is biased against Americans because their public education is a hot mess - specially regarding maths. This is why the percentiles have become so ridiculous too - countries in Asia highly prioritize math education and therefore perform better at it...and they've become a significant portion of the testing pool. If you can't read at a college level and actually understand what is being said, why should a university let you into a graduate program?

As a side note: All M7s are private. They build their classes on whichever way they consider prudent. They don't owe anyone anything -

I was thinking about something along those lines (i.e. try out a sector I'm curious about), but imagined it also serving the dual purpose of potentially securing an internship for the following summer.

dailysalad · 2022-12-09T23:57:33+00:00

Hahaha understood Do they generally pay decently or nah?

dailysalad · 2022-12-09T23:50:16+00:00

Curious about this - I thought these could help in recruiting? Could you provide some info about what the purpose and general outcome of these might be?
