Hi, did you apply waiver to Stern?

Seems like it... awesome job pabus23! Did you have a really strong GPA or Strong Work Experience?

Sorry about the Sloan ding. Good luck with your other apps! Tuck and Darden are also very strong in consulting putting in close to 50% of the class.

Hi. Do you think the GPA might have influenced it, even with such a high GMAT (for HBS, Wharton…)? I’m curious because my case is similar. Congratulations on your performance!

Wow. That’s a strong profile!
CPG has gotten a bit of a bad name in NBA because the average pay is so much slower than consulting and tech. However, as someone who had a 15 year career in hospitality and CPG similar industry, I can say that while the average pay is not great, there are definitely niche opportunities and and senior management opportunities that make someone passionate about CPG not too worried about breaking even.

PS. Historically, Kellogg has been the strongest CPG school. Fantastic results with getting interview invite at HBS. Ross is another CPG school but a bit below the M7 mark. Columbia maybe if you would like to stay in New York.

Thanks for posting the profile and updating decision tracker results 👍

Hi. I think you got the right schools. The only other finance and IB programs would be Columbia and Stern but very expensive cost of living in NY City.

Otherwise I think you are in target. Would recommend starting to reach out to some of the current students (if you have not already) and trying to connect. It will be tricky as they are busy but if you have good strong and interesting questions you will be able to get them talking. These relationships will be very valuable in the long run.

did you hear from simon?

Hi. Great profile! Awesome to have strong brands on your resume and sticking with the job.
Just a quick question - you marked your post MBA goal as Consulting? It should be Tech PM type of thing?

Good luck with the results from Kellogg and Tepper! I would also recommend Foster for R2 for Tech PM. It is in Seattle, so you will walk into a job sooner or later

Thanks bb for the quick reply. Big fan of yours btw

. To your question, I must have selected "Consulting" by mistake. Corrected it now. Can you also share any insights on the other schools that I am planning to apply with respect to my profile and goal. Texas mccombs and Duke Fuqua?

Thank you. Happy to help with your way I can.

McCombs and Fuqua were quite good for tech before the bottom fell out from the tech last year 😬

You’ll see big declines and tech recruiting across many business schools but before this calamity, those were pretty good choices for tech. Ross as well potentially….

Hi! Given your profile I would consider Tepper and Foster to be best options for you in the safe category. However, since you are so clear about your post mba PM goals, I suggest you also check out some other one year programs that can get you into PM roles in big tech will lower opportunity cost. Tepper’s MSPM program is one but there are several others. Do note that the job market is not at its best and therefore targeted programs with strong tech pipelines can be better options than doing a FT MBA from just any college.
It’s honestly very hard to comment on the odds for Duke, as it depends on how you strategise and present your story coming from an over represented pool. Same for the other aspirational schools. There will be plenty of profiles with better gmat scores and similar professional experience, therefore you must meticulously strategize how you articulate your narrative and showcase your experiences.
