Are there still people that haven't heard anything yet? I still haven't heard anything and interview way back in November. I reached out today but am curious if there are still others that haven't heard anything.

Applied: U. Chicago Booth, Harvard Business School, Northwestern / Kellogg, UVA / Darden, Yale SOM
Entering Year: 2025
Post MBA Career: Consulting, Technology
GMAT: 760
GPA: 3.7+
Location: India
Notes:

Torn between Kellogg (MMM) and Yale. WL at Booth, and considering a Sloan app in R2.

Love love love the Kellogg MMM program, but total CoA is ~90k more than Yale. I value (1) 'Brand': Kellogg is M7, but Yale has better intl. recognition, (2) $$ (sticker shocked intl. student), (3) Employment (similar?). No location pref. Is the M7 tag worth it?

Location: Brazil
Notes:

Targeting a career in IB with a focus on real estate. I will likely need to take a $60-80k loan for CBS or Stern (assuming the internship goes as planned). For Darden, the financial burden would be lower since I wouldn’t have to cover housing costs. Still undecided but leaning towards CBS due to its M7 status and NY location. Thoughts?

Notes:

Should get the average for need-based aid at HBS. Hoping to choose an option with a good culture but where I can still learn and grow. Kellogg should be the natural fit with my post-MBA goals, but it is tough to go that route when I have scholarship everywhere else.

Pre-MBA Career: Insurance
Post-MBA Target Industry: Entrepreneurship
GRE: 318
GPA: 3.59
Years of Work Experience: 3.5
Location: Georgia
Post MBA Location: Southeast
Notes:

Looking to launch a tech startup post MBA, without any background in tech. Come from a quant heavy background and undergraduate coursework. I regularly attended admissions events, in person and online at my schools. I hope that focusing energy on my few top schools and spending a lot of time on essays will help me overcome the less than average test score (164 quant 154 verbal) and GPA.

Serial entrepreneur with a history of profitable small businesses. Was promoted twice in 3.5 years. Involved in many extracurricular activities in and outside of work. My background is very centered around financial services/insurance, is this a red flag for a pivot to Tech Entrepreneurship?

Transferred between two state schools in the southeast. School I graduated from is a top 25 undergrad business program. Obtained a few professionals designations post grad.
