Notes:

After the program, I aim to join a top strategy consulting firm in Europe. I am still on the "young" side of applicants and I am considering delaying the program for a year (starting in 2026 and not in 2025). I am thinking of applying to other top B-schools with a clearer path to consulting in Europe as a foreigner.

Notes:

2/4 overall. Waitlisted at Cornell. Interview at GTown, but dropped out once I received Notre Dame decision. Notre Dame was my top choice, so very happy with the overall outcome. If anything, I wish I had found the Clear Admit podcast sooner. I would've retaken the GRE and applied to more reach schools. However, very happy overall!
