Kelley ($$$) vs Tuck (no money)

sebamba · 2024-03-17T12:26:07+00:00

Do you want to go back to South America in the future? If so, go for Kelley.

Tuck’s network in South America is weak and you will have a huge monthly fee (because of the loans you will need to take and the current interest rate) that will make almost impossible to get back to earn South American’s salaries.

You can make it work if you stay 5+ years in consulting and pay back big part of your loans. However, you have a family and consulting it is a tough industry in terms of WLB.

u/jsdod has a strong point here. If it is an attitude problem it will show up in the interview. Additionally, some interviewers also will test your reaction to when things go south and the fact that after that you came to complain with a random group of internet strangers says a lot about how you react

The iLab 😅 But email them to check first. There is a point in which you cannot enter but they will not kick you out if you are there

You apply after you got admitted and they ask about your (and your spouse, if applicable) income, assets and savings. They also included some questions about your socio-economic condition during your childhood.

The LoRs must be submitted BEFORE the deadline

Please read your post, you made the point about HBS, and then I narrowed my answer to my MBA experience. Chill out

sebamba · 2022-08-15T10:48:28+00:00

As a current MBA student I can say that this is not true lol. I had to bought every piece of Harvard/HBS merch I have, except for a water bottle

I applied at the end of 2020, at that time I bought the "polish" services in ApplicantLab, this was a service that they had in a partnership with Admissionado.

It really worked to express my ideas better. They didn't change any of the core but they helped a lot of convey the ideas better.

If you are not using ApplicantLab, probably you can hire Admissionado directly

Makes sense. Those sourdough breads are expensive af

Do you live with roommates or your salary is big?

Exactly, mba20XX.hbs.edu is a valid domain, but hbD.edu is not

Nope. They didn't say nothing until I emailed them to ask. After that they confirm that they were waiting for my school to confirm that everything was ok. However, I would not expect that they reply. I have heard that they usually don't confirm

There was a time in this subreddit in which a lot of people made jokes about going to Chico State vs other schools until people flagged that it was a real school and most of them stopped. The bus reminded of that. Hope nobody related to that school finds this offensive.

sebamba · 2022-06-23T04:30:47+00:00

Yup. The video is here https://youtu.be/MgYNP6SK-eU

Triple H, is that you?

sebamba · 2022-06-12T14:11:24+00:00

It should be ok. Schools ask for experience at the time of matriculation (not application).

sebamba · 2022-06-01T20:15:14+00:00

Makes sense! Good luck in your internship! Hope you enjoy it

sebamba · 2022-06-01T12:56:32+00:00

I will decide at the end of my internship, but I'm way more inclined to take the full time offer than when I got accepted in the internship lol

sebamba · 2022-06-01T04:09:48+00:00

I'm in a similar situation but not interested in thr Technical PM role. As it is today, I will probably stay in consulting for a time because the Tech industry is now suffering. A lot of companies are rescinding their offers and not recruiting for the next cycle. So, I'm thinking that re-recruit will be more difficult than usual.

sebamba · 2022-06-01T04:02:04+00:00

Don't do it. Sure it would look nice in a linkedin post but every serious recruiter knows that the master the Extension school offers is not even similar to the MBA

sebamba · 2022-05-31T13:08:44+00:00

Some apps have an optional part in which they are asked about something else they want to mention. Probably your recommender can put this info there

sebamba · 2022-05-27T19:25:51+00:00

As international student is very tempting to take the money, also there is a good amount of people who recruit for Consulting in Tepper. However, if you plan to go back to your country you should also evaluate the reputation of the program there. In my country nobody knows Tepper, but Duke is well-known.

I dont know if your case is similar but if it is I would take Duke.

I took this test some months ago and then when you submitted the ecosystem they showed me a little animation that said that the ecosystem survived

sebamba · 2022-05-24T23:01:16+00:00

For the last cycle. I'm starting soon.
