alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1676 Super numbers. Showing impact and growth at work and outside of work is very important. Be good to know a little more about your plans for the MBA, short and longer term. Wharton and Columbia are missing from your target list? Are you applying in Round 1 or 2? (0)

Wanted to include some "safer" programs in hopes of scholarship, and figured six applications was enough, so Columbia and Wharton didn't make the cut for me. (1)

anon10852 Likes Earned: 9 Cool to be featured on the podcast! I'll definitely keep your advice in mind. I've been trying to avoid getting too caught up on rankings (especially when it comes to M7 vs top non-M7), but definitely don't want to sell myself short. (1)
