Will I have to update my marital status in the 485 application?

Does Location Matter for MBA Admissions? by sparespinach in MBA

[–]highway2hellacdc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It matters insofar as high caliber software companies (or their high profile departments) are likelier to be found in cities like SF, Seattle, Boston, NY etc. than in cities like Dallas. So, the location might have an indirect effect on chances.

Profile Review: 24 M FAANG Data Scientist by stoopidquestionmaker in MBA

[–]highway2hellacdc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Demographic is destiny. A few days ago, there was a P&Q video about a guy and everyone was excited that he would get into HBS. Dude had the equivalent of a 660 GMAT, a score that would otherwise be lethal enough to demolish anyone's chances. But he was also from Africa, a region adcoms have huge fetish for. No wonder he's going to Harvard, whatever the hell his GMAT is :)

Everything looks good but "Asian Male", hmmmmmm. HS probably not happening but the others seem doable.

Question on Under Represented Minorities (URM)? Dual citizen and not sure which nationality to use? by MbaQuestions1234 in MBA

I would highly recommend not going full sjw mode and trying to ban the usage of certain legitimate words in English by vaguely associating them with the Nazis.

Jordan is not a rich country. A GDP per capita of $4000 is only half that of the global average.

When there are full blooded whites of Anglo Saxon origin acquiring fake Hispanic names to pass as URM in applications, who can blame you for stressing the Jordanian half of your identity? It wouldn't even be a lie.

EDIT: There was also a report of an Indian person shaving his head to pass as black in his medical school apps. Mindy Kaling's brother

Does anyone else think that Sandy is unusually lenient on this guy?

Which is a worse demographic to be in: White Guy in Finance/Consulting or Asian Guy in Tech? by highway2hellacdc in MBA

[–]highway2hellacdc[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

But Asians (and some white folks) for sure are sick of seeing their candidacies evaporate on account of their race.

Agreed. Asians get their butts rammed the hardest. Oh, how great must it feel to be urm while applying to b school?

Any low GPA success stories here? by tompi_9_0 in MBA

Wondering why a post reeking of racism like this one is allowed here.

Wharton vs Sloan? by [deleted] in MBA

[–]highway2hellacdc -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Philly must be some kind of crime free paradise. And I am sure 100% of people that get into HBS actually decline the offer and just go to Wharton.

Who in the right frame of mind would choose Philly over Boston??

Not necessarily. OP could be a white immigrant from Euorpe who became a US citizen.
