Enrolled: Undecided

Admitted: UPenn / Wharton

Applied: Columbia, Harvard Business School, MIT Sloan, Stanford GSB, UPenn / Wharton

Entering Year: 2018

Post MBA Career: Technology, Entrepreneurship Companies: Apple, Facebook, Google

GMAT: 770

GPA: 3.8

Location: Boston

Notes:

Waitlisted at Sloan and accepted (w/o) Scholarship at Wharton. I've deposited at Wharton, but I'm hopeful for Sloan bc of a cultural fit. I want to work at a tech co./tech-focused VC after grad, & eventually a startup again (in cyber now). Considering deferring a year & reapplying to Sloan/HBS/GSB if I don't get off Sloan's waitlist. Thoughts?

As for work, I was actually just offered a promotion to a PM role in my current company (a tech startup), which could be a wonnnnderful opportunity for growth. (0)

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1693 The PM role is great. I'd still think it's hard to turn down Wharton, if Sloan doesn't come through. Good luck! (0)
