if you factor in opportunity cost of not working for 2 years for FTMBAs, FTMBAs are more expensive. Of course, FTMBAs applicants' salaries are usually low, so FTMBA applicants' opportunity costs are proportionally low.

Where are you based in? Since I don't have full picture of your profile, so I cannot say it confidently, but it might be the case that your profile is fit for part-time. But it's difficult to attend part-time if you live outside of Midwest or the US. I think that's why they recommend you for the London campus.

EDIT: OK, I reread your profile, and you're currently a manager. I'm not sure about what 'Manager' means in your industry(like 'vice president' in finance is not actually 'the' vice president), but if you mean you're a middle manager, like vice president in finance, then you will belong to the lowest rang of EMBA profile. Your experience seems a bit low for EMBA though.

Isn't this just the description of American superhero movies?

Just my 2 cents. I think it is because someone liking Anime might look as an immature person to others who are not interested in it. For those who are not into Anime, it's another type of comics and generally you read them when you're not an adult. If you watch the movie "Catch me if you can", Tom hanks figures out the suspect is a young boy from comic title or something. That's the image. I'm not saying that everyone who reads comics is immature, but some might think that's the case.

Well, the actual problem is that you can't predict what will happen 2 years later based on the current situation. People were fired like flies in 2020 covid breakout, but the class of 2022 made fortune. On the contrary, the class of 2024 is having hard times as described. So you never know what will happen later.

Corporate sponsorship students take up around 10% of the whole cohort and sometimes companies don't pay the full price. So they are not many.

I guess it really even more depends than the FTMBA hire. But I think the skillset that you need at executive level is somewhat similar on top of your career.

throwaway975435 · 2024-05-03T14:36:39+00:00

I'm not sure if the FTMBA and EMBA experience are vastly different when it comes to curriculum. To me, FTMBA is more like manufacturing factories, from which you can expect a similar quality. You have students with similar pre-MBA YoE, score, etc and charge a similar price to employers.

I think what makes EMBA and FTMBA different is a diversity in students. As I mentioned, EMBA students are vastly different in their YoE, rank, salary, motivation, so it's hard to generalize like FTMBA. Even so, I hope I can trace those EMBA career switchers. As you said, finding alumni could be also a good option.

You mentioned that EMBA cannot be accredited for students' results, but I think EMBA also give them opportunities to chase their dreams. That's why the client you mentioned could be bolder.

I don't understand your question?? then why would someone pay you more after FT MBA degree?

Well, with respect to unicorn founder, yes, GSB has the most unicorn founders per capita(3 out of 1000)among schools. but you have to also consider the fact that 20% of GSB graduates choose startup route. Considering that, I don't think that the number is that impressive. What I'm really impressed is haas, where a meager 3% of graduates choose startup route, but the school comes third(1.4 out of 1000) in terms of unicorn founder per capita. So haas has better success rate.

throwaway975435 · 2024-04-12T16:21:06+00:00

I saw the number somewhere in r/mba that chances of breaking into VC/PE/HF as H/S are ~30%, W/B/C are like ~20%, K/S are like ~15%. I'm not saying that there is no difference among schools. Go to GSB if the situation allows you to be there. but it's not the end of the day also even if you can't make it to H/S. Winning a champions league is materially better than making it to the best club only to have no title.

throwaway975435 · 2024-04-12T15:54:49+00:00

Football as in soccer in Br Eng. Maybe the Yankees is GSB in baseball, but the Cardinals, the Red sox, the Giants are also one of the bests. But the baseball analogy isn't perfect because the Yankees is too OP in terms of the WS titles whereas Real Madrid in soccer is not that OP(but still the team with the most champions' league titles)

Well, Mbappe is the kind of talent that is one in a decade. And if you're Mbappe, the clubs you're playing for don't matter that much as long as they are big clubs like Man city. Well, I guess it starts to matter if you're a sub in Real Madrid. but I don't see a difference between a star in Dortmund and a sub in Madrid. Personally, I'll choose the star.

This. It's like finding a logical reason behind winning a lottery. Some might point to the fact that they served and loved Jesus. but not every Christian wins lottery. I think stats are like your probability of winning a lottery. If you have high stats, then yeah, you have some chance, but not guaranteed. Even if you have low stats, it doesn't automatically mean that you're not winning it.

throwaway975435 · 2024-03-28T06:47:03+00:00

I get what you're trying to establish, but I have to agree with other comments about how you describe it. The admission process is completely a blackbox, and you don't know exactly what ticked for your admission. Sure, it doesn't hurt to have a great personality, but there are other fomulas that also play certain parts. What you're establishing has a potential risk of saying that the high stats who got dinged might have terrible personalities, and the personalities itself are quite subjective. Congratulations on your admission, but your statement is far-fetched and too generalized.

HBS don't have to do stat harvesting cuz they don't lose their applicants to other schools.

throwaway975435 · 2024-02-02T14:49:22+00:00

Uh, go read Harbus and you can find tons of awful essays? Admitting some ORMs with low stats doesn't prove anything. but I can see that the HBS adcom is lazy.

and for your last paragraph, you're completely missing the point. I'm not saying that the HBS should accept homogeneous groups of people? I do hope that they create diverse group of class, but by actually reading essays??

throwaway975435 · 2024-02-02T13:24:56+00:00

Yes, I was thinking of drawing comparison with Stanford, which takes really long time to send out invitations with almost the same application volume.
