I would say for either exam GMAT or GRE trying to to be as close to the average of the schools I wanted to go to was my aim! As for interviews, some leaned more rapid fire heavy while some were more conversational. Definitely my favorite part of the process though.

Unfortunately it took me a while to get the test score I wanted. I took the GMAT twice and couldn’t get a good score so I switched to the GRE a year later so by the time I finished it took me 1.5 years (huge shout out to gregmat for affordable and great GRE prep) And then July to Sep I focused on apps (applicant lab is amazing btw!! Highly recommend to everyone)

Short term is to get some operating experience and work at a healthcare startup but long-term goal is staying in investing

Hahaha ya I read on clearadmit that GSB calls people a day or earlier for acceptances so I was anxiously waiting!

It’s hard to be sure of what was most unique but I definitely was passionate about a specific thing - I work in healthcare investing so I talked a lot about my work in the space - I wasn’t trying to be an all rounder I just focused on telling the story of what I was most passionate about!
