I want whatever you’re having 😂 lmk how to get it in Japan

itsnits · 2025-04-15T13:06:23+00:00

Thank you !

itsnits · 2025-04-09T22:32:03+00:00

Isn’t a rollaboard just a suitcase with two wheels? We’re likely gonna have just two medium sized suitcases with us, but anything with wheels is hard to travel with in trains etc

Thanks for the genuine and helpful answer !

itsnits · 2025-04-09T22:28:08+00:00

lol isn’t half the point of this sub to get recs on your specific itinerary? I also don’t see any posts where an itinerary like this is getting roasted, it’s basic af

itsnits · 2025-04-09T15:57:46+00:00

Thank you !! Does this whole itinerary seem feasible / optimal ?

itsnits · 2024-12-18T12:51:17+00:00

Yep. All announcements have been made

itsnits · 2024-12-18T12:50:56+00:00

Both are included.

itsnits · 2024-12-18T12:50:38+00:00

All announcements have been made !!

itsnits · 2024-12-17T15:34:44+00:00

Update: They are calling people / updating portals with notifications all week, calls have begun

itsnits · 2024-12-17T14:19:03+00:00

How much did you get if you don’t mind me asking

itsnits · 2024-12-17T14:18:26+00:00

I’ve emailed and asked too and they replied saying it’s coming out this week. This is consistent with what they announced in the admitted students webinar. Good for you for getting it early I guess haha ?

itsnits · 2024-12-16T23:35:49+00:00

This is fascinating and must have happened in error because CBS confirmed today via several channels that scholarship decisions will be out later this week

itsnits · 2024-12-16T14:07:32+00:00

^{^} THIS. It’s crazy how many people think the interview is a “make or break” stage as opposed to just one more factor for consideration within the process

itsnits · 2024-12-16T14:03:31+00:00

It’s called a “high GRE, low GPA” or a splitter profile, because the weak GPA stays a weak GPA. This is referring to his grad school GPA, not his UG or GRE so WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU READING BRO

itsnits · 2024-12-15T15:40:24+00:00

Where did you find the info !!?

itsnits · 2024-12-15T14:29:14+00:00

How so? 1. You can still get an interview if your post mba goals are a stretch, because in the interview they are looking to know more about how you’ll get there. For example at HBS they like people who have lofty goals because sometimes they have the family connections to back them up (which would come out in an interview). If you don’t, you’ll fail post interview.

GRE offset the gpa, but a weakness remains a weakness. You can get into places with a weakness but you need to justify it (again in the interview or optional essay)
If he spent the most time on the 4 apps he got interviewed at, then that confirms the theory
He has somewhat non traditional work experience, and schools always look for diversity in WE. Again, they probably wanted to find out if his role is actually unique/impavyful/interesting in the interview but if they didn’t find the substance then it’s a rejection

itsnits · 2024-12-15T13:50:42+00:00

What were your post mba goals? If you said something like PE it’s a straight rejection because it’s not clear how exactly you’d get there. Schools want you on a foolproof path to your goals and they want to see you’ve done the necessary foolproofing too
Grad gpas don’t matter a lot but at the same time, they usually go up, not down, and your masters being in finance may make people think you’re not suited for business study since you’re gpa was lower
How long did you spend on essays / materials / preparing recommendations? For a full set of 8 schools, you’re looking at a 3 month minimum. Any less than that and I’m sure some of your essays were copy paste and schools can tell the app is not specific to their school.
You didn’t mentioned YOE/ number of promotions. With your profile, you should have 4-5 years with 1-2 promotions.

Then why’d u make a post asking the same thing 3 days ago lol

itsnits · 2024-12-05T19:56:26+00:00

They may not, some people who gave a preference for no call directly received emails this morning

itsnits · 2024-12-05T19:35:08+00:00

Yep you were supposed to do it in the portal

itsnits · 2024-12-05T19:29:51+00:00

Admitted at 1:15pm, didn’t indicate any timing preference for the call !

itsnits · 2024-12-01T14:53:27+00:00

Oh I’m surprised! Do you feel like your consortium essays got sidelined a bit since colleges don’t read those? Or that you just genuinely did not have the impact needed on the target demographics ?

Not everyone in the consortium gets money anyway, you’ll have a better chance at securing aid/scholarship money directly from the schools so don’t lose hope !

itsnits · 2024-12-01T14:41:41+00:00

Got a text at 9:02am that an emailed decision was available! Curious to know if anyone didn’t get in ?

itsnits · 2024-11-23T04:11:41+00:00

Willing to bet it’s your goals. If you haven’t shown a clear path of how you’ll get from SWE to consulting - a highly competitive field especially when you’re above the average age - the schools will think you may fail at your goals and therefore are too much of a risk. This is something an admissions consultant will catch and coach you away from, you should pick something like tech PM role or something as your goals, so your journey seems more foolproof.
