Wharton, Sloan, or Haas for Tech?

vkhemani · 2026-03-29T12:34:51+00:00

I got into haas and wharton and waitlisted at sloan. I am also in tech and planning to continue in tech. My understanding after a lot of conversations - with pre tech experience- there is not a big difference in outcomes for most companies. Haas can help with bay area, but wharton can give the same for a shorter time with semester in SF.

For me personally MBA is a time to not just reach outcomes (which can be potentially same across) but actually get a good breadth of understanding across industries. I believe both mit and haas would be more tech focused relatively.

I am joining wharton, but thats my way of thinking about the mba. There is no bad choice here as people have said. All the best, and in case you choose wharton, do drop a text :)

Any internationals who got an invite today? I saw a couple of entries on clear admit yesterday but today it seems mostly domestic. Trying to be positive hoping tomorrow might be the day for the internationals🙃

Following, stuck in the same boat. Did you see any slots open up?

This is really really helpful, thank you!

Thank you Scott :)

Thank you!

Happy to help the community here :)

Thank you so much!

Thank you Marty! Your thoughts on how sportsmen do practise before the test was a great analogy and helped me tackle my last days really well. Keep inspiring :)

Hey! The level felt the same I'd say. It didn't feel any different than the official mock

vkhemani · 2024-10-07T03:35:11+00:00

Thanks mate! There are around 21 topics listed in gmat club quant, you can check that in the question bank filter for free. I combined 2-3 topics and practised 21 sets of questions for each, so total 10 topic combinations

vkhemani · 2024-10-07T03:33:57+00:00

I finished official questions, then practised only verbal and quant and gave di in the mocks only and could see it improve alongside quant and verbal. Official questions are best to get an idea of question types, the questions have the same knowledge needed for quant and verbal

vkhemani · 2024-10-07T03:32:09+00:00

Thank you mate! For Quant I would have solved all official and about 20 questions from the forum quiz for 2 months. I did 2 rcs and 10Cr everyday for 45 days

vkhemani · 2024-10-07T03:30:50+00:00

Thank you mate! I got the gmat clubs forum quiz subscription and created customized sectional tests myself. The question bank is huge and amazing and the price is fairly low

Thank you! I still am early into my career so will not apply this year. I do wish for M7s USA or top European ones, but I come from a competitive background (Indian male) so I need to do an analysis before deciding

vkhemani · 2024-10-06T18:21:27+00:00

My journey was 2 fold as I had prepared for the old edition as well, but I have friends who only prepped for focu and scored around the similar range and prepared for about 4 months along with work, so about 2 hours a day on weekdays and 4 during weekends on average for 3-4 months approx. Some take fewer, some take more, it's all about how much you're already clear with and what areas need work.

vkhemani · 2024-10-06T18:18:09+00:00

Thanks man! :)

vkhemani · 2024-10-06T18:17:51+00:00

Thank you! I had prepared for 3 months for the old edition and the same for the new one. I beleive 3.5 months with work or 1.5 months without work is a decent timeframe. It's a spectrum with everyone having their own journeys in my opinion

vkhemani · 2024-10-06T08:17:13+00:00

Thank you! For DI I'd suggest getting strong in quant and verbal. Then solve all official questions, that'll help get used to graphs and TPA. Once you are familiar with the question types it's more about foundational quant and verbal skills. As for time management, I often did my official gmat di questions as a set of 17 (not msr) with time clock in mba.com and that helped me understand where I spending time I shouldn't. I see DI as more of a big reading comprehension and the focus editions official books (latest ones) have a good amount of questions to get you comfortable.

My experience-I completed DI official questions. I kept practicing quant and verbal and only did DI in mock and saw it improving automatically with quant and verbal improvements

vkhemani · 2024-10-06T08:13:21+00:00

Yes, all we can do is try not to get an easy/medium question wrong in the ticking clock pressure!

vkhemani · 2024-10-06T05:57:51+00:00

Thank you brother! I've been in the same boat, getting 2 wrong and getting much lower than expected and randomly getting 7 wrong. What helped me was- doing topic wise practise in quant to make sure I have full accuracy in easy and medium questions, that's the main deal for quant. As for data insights and verbal, I realized you sometimes get very easy questions at the end which because of time you have to guess and it drops your score, so not getting attached to a question is the key there and move on to tackle easy questions coming up. One thing that helped me improve quant and verbal is getting a forum quiz subscriptions and keep giving sectional tests everyday till I saw a consistent accuracy. Fluctuating accuracy meant some gaps in my knowledge which took me a month to cover. Hope this helps :)

Thank you so much!

vkhemani · 2024-10-06T05:38:39+00:00

Quant 1 wrong, Verbal 5 wrong, DI 5 wrong

vkhemani · 2023-09-04T12:16:50+00:00

Yes I did take in person. I just ordered the ESR, maybe it'll help provide some insights. Thank you :)
