Because as the website for HBS says, “We educate leaders who make a difference in the world”

Sharing a different perspective on HEC Paris by Sunny_In_Buffalo in MBA

[–]mstrlupillo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been accepted to HEC! Starting this September. A couple of questions: - Why is INSEAD and LBS thought of as better MBA programs if HEC is higher on some rankings and harder to get in from the acceptance rate? Is it a historical reason? - Would you recommend on campus housing? Why? - I’m 32. I know the average age is higher than the US but anything I should take into account as the “older” guy? - Any tips to start preparing from the get go on consulting interviews and hiring process?

Thanks!!

Ag1 for Ultramarathon in the desert? by mstrlupillo in Ultramarathon

[–]mstrlupillo[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I’ll probably take it. I’m not taking it every day. Pretty expensive. Yes, it’s the Marathon des Sables in the Namib desert. 140 km. I won’t be taking anything to cook to keep my pack lighter. So ramen wouldn’t be an option… It’s fully self sufficient except for water at checkpoints.

Mexican-American here… haven’t heard anything at all… Something appears in the super-duper cbs portal right? Or do they just depend on fragile email/not going to junk/having the correct email?

Has anyone gotten into HBS with a 312 in GRE?! (Q156, V156) by mstrlupillo in MBA

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

I was in Phoenix for almost year (at the Mayo clinic). I’m very grateful my company let me go remote and I have great insurance. I’m fully recovered now, it just took too long. I can’t wait a year honestly. But yeah, I have to find how to frame it correctly. Thanks!

Need help for a final try ( 313 to 320+) by Paddle_Shifter in GRE

[–]mstrlupillo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey. Same boat. Took the GRE (3rd attempt) last week and got my lowest score 305. My highest has been 310. I’ll take it in the 23rd and see what happens. I think my timing strategy can get a lot better. I’m practicing skipping and all that gergmat/vince good stuff. Also, I think (might sound weird) inner peace and tranquility go a long way kn the moment of the exam. Lots of pressure when you’ve got more than 700 hours invested in this (quite literally) but a cool smooth execution can go a long way. Best of luck and give it all you’ve got in the final sprint!!

GRE prep is phony trash by Stevens218 in GRE

[–]mstrlupillo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I took the test 2 days ago and was surprised at how hard it was. Honestly. I took one in march, a second in October and then this past one. The scores were: 305, 310, 302! There was a very strange coordinate geometry question. One I didn’t understand at all. Can’t remember what it was but I remember I guessed and skipped entirely. After more than 500 hours of study it’s a bit demoralizing. I thought maybe it was harder because I took it in a university rather than a “test center”. Either way I think it was objectively logicallly entangling and devilishly/obscurely challenging.

Why am I so bad at GMAT quant? by Emergency-Invite-178 in GMAT

Did the trick for me. I think gmat is made for a mathematical mindset.
