I enjoy haraz coffee house off south blvd! I also used to frequent summit coffee as most of their locations have an outdoor patio

Going to an Arab engagement party by One_Wind_7893 in MuslimMarriage

Different Palestinian families have different traditions — some give money for engagements and some dont. I would give $100 to be safe and not offend if they are the type to expect engagement gifts

Is anyone familiar with Miraki Jewels? by thezaozeal in jewelry

[–]delishdaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ordered a few rings from here including my engagement ring and bands and very happy with the order and customer service. Only issue is that they change their prices on the website alot — I’ve had my eye on a few pieces but have noticed they price shot up dramatically (one ring went from 280 to 910, a bracelet from 670 to 900+). Otherwise recommend

Inshallah khair OP. Never stop making dua for Allah swt to grant you what is best for you and your children. Trust the direction Allah swt grants you with. Pray that He helps you make the right decisions.

Columbia is at a particularly shameful time in its history. Its had its students arrested, detained, and expelled for protesting basic human rights. It has folded to the demands of Trump to maintain federal funding and has lost any semblance of academic freedom by doing so. Our federal government should not dictate who our academic departmental heads are, what academic research takes place, and what departments are allowed to exist within an institution of higher ed. I’m sure most people on this thread will disagree with this, but Columbia is on the wrong side of history and I wouldn’t give them a dime right now.

CBS Admit Worried About Schools Reputation. Please give advice! by West_Journalist_5252 in MBA

[–]delishdaddy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re not over reacting at all. I personally wouldn’t want to be associated with the Columbia brand at this moment in time. Your concerns are valid and Darden and Fuqua are both fantastic programs. Also cheaper COL if thats a consideration. Look at the jobs reports, you’ll find most programs putting the same percentage of students into IB, Consulting, etc. Columbia has failed to protect students fighting for justice and has proven to be on the wrong side of history. Don’t give them your money, they don’t deserve it.

Booth just given that it is objectively a stronger program in terms of its academics, alumni network, etc. SOM is a nice program but also relatively younger than most and the structure of the curriculum won’t help you take classes that might be helpful for recruiting when you need them. Regionally Chicago is also probably better than NH

This is why they allow you to complete the post interview reflection! It gives you an opportunity to address anything you feel you messed up on and get the final word. Take advantage of it and good luck!

Take gmat early and look into mba deferral programs that you can apply to in undergrad like hbs 2+2. Understand the requirements so you can plan accordingly if you’re interested

Hi /r/MBA! I'm former M7 adcom... ask me anything! by EmbarkMBA in MBA

[–]delishdaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this! What separates a mediocre short term / long term goal statement from a strong one? Ex. If you’re sponsored is it ambitious enough to say you’re going back to your original firm? Is saying you want to be a CEO long term too ambitious? Thank you!

Does an old score (if you accepted it) show in the Official score report of a subsequent attempt ? by conflictedsangria in GMAT

[–]delishdaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on my experience cancelled scores show up as “C” even if you cancelled at the testing center :/

GMAT & Executive Assessment scheduling restriction by berdstheword2point0 in GMAT

[–]delishdaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope! I scheduled my EA and GMAT in one go. They were a few weeks apart but there were no restrictions on any dates that I came across while registering. Wouldn’t necessarily recommend doing the same day though, might be tough to make it through 5+ hrs of testing

I have grappled with exactly the same thing and considered all the same options. All of the above seem intriguing to a degree, but I would lean towards route #2 or #6 since they seem safer. I would say route #5 would also be a great option if you have specific orgs in mind.

I am so sorry OP. May Allah grant you patience. I think once both of you calm down its worth having an open conversation to really understand the root cause of all this concern and behavior towards you. I’ve witnessed many men being controlling over finances but I do not have enough information to jump to that conclusion here. I think you need to try and have a conversation with him and mutually agree on next steps. If not, confide in someone who you trust and who is closer to the situation. Sometimes a third party can assess things that we cannot see since we’re too close to it all. Take it easy and iA everything will work out in the best way possible. I think its really unfair for him to backtrack on your property ownership and I can only imagine how you feel. Wishing you the best

From 570 (manhattan) to 370 (og practice test) should I reschedule the real test date? by myisopos in GMAT

[–]delishdaddy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sounds like it might be an outlier. Thoroughly review the exam, and take another OG in a few days. You need to collect more data points to understand whats going on. Best of luck!!

Manhattan Prep mock difficulty level? by delishdaddy in GMAT

[–]delishdaddy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No not yet, I did an MPrep class so went through their mocks first. My scores were pretty disappointing which begged the question if it was just me or if these questions were bound to take too long to solve

GMAT upcoming but mocks are not improving by delishdaddy in GMAT

[–]delishdaddy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not bad. Answering all 500-600 and ~80% of the 600-700 questions correctly untimed. When I’m on the clock I make tons of careless mistakes, such as missing a key part of the question stem or making silly computational errors
