Wow! Awesome results with the 312 GRE!!! This is reassuring for many of us with lower scores... or are you applying with Score Waiver?

Hi! Thank you! I'm applying with a waiver to Ross and NYU, but I submitted my scores to Yale. I'm also an ORM and graduated from a totally unknown university. I'm coming from a finance & strategy background in the social enterprise space! My works has had a very material positive impact on a lot of people.

Got ya! Good luck!!!
PS. Being from a small or not well-known undergrad, is usually considered a hurdle. However, sometimes you can turn it into a strength by demonstrating how you have been able to turn around and achieve great results despite having a lowly undergrad on your résumé. Usually you want to accompany it with strong test scores to dispel any doubts about your GPA or grades Since.com wouldn’t have a good point of reference with a less known program. However, your professional achievements and results will hopefully speak louder than anything else and your background is unique enough to make you a valuable addition to a class. Fingers crossed🤞

I appreciate the support!

Did you hear back from HAAS and did you apply to their flex program?

I applied to the PTMBA program and no update - I think we hear back in January / February?

Hey! How come you decided to add Kellogg and Harvard to your list? I'm just curious because I am considering adding Kellogg as well and wondered if it makes sense for me too.

Hi! I've followed their program for a few years now and they have a good presence in the field I'm targeting. Figured why not even though I'd be totally happy at Ross (and maybe if I somehow get off of Yale's waitlist).

Understood. Honestly, as I'm looking to get into healthcare I looked really hard at Kellogg before taking them off my list because I thought I wouldn't have a chance.
I kinda think I owe it to myself to try now though...
Either way, still crossing fingers for you with Yale!

I hope that you do! I feel like its better than living in the "what if" scenario!
