Hi. Good luck with the applications. I think I’m with you in terms of the school choice and looking at scholarships.

Your career progression sounds strong. I think the only weakness in your plan is the GRE score. The score is great but most of these programs do not publish their average score and I’m not not sure how willing they will be to offer a scholarship in that situation. Please don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying they will not, I’m just saying I do not know. You apply and look at the results for your round one and then potentially adjust your strategy for around two and since you’re also quite young and very promising, you can potentially even adjust an apply next year as well.

I would say overall you have a great profile. Having a little bit more work experience would be great but since you have had promotions and awesome trajectory , the years are less important.

Hi bb! I’ve been invited for an interview at Scheller! I’d love to hear any general advice or tips I should focus on to make the best impression.

I think in terms of tips and recommendations, I would recommend following the recent interview prep sessions we’ve done. We covered all of the M7 schools and I think all of them besides Wharton and Harvard would be applicable. I can find the link for you If you don’t have it.

I'll be grateful if you can share the link since I have not been able to find that. Thank you in advance!

Here you go - the event will end/close on Oct 31st so make sure to sign up/watch the replays before the end https://www.airmeet.com/e/de38b670-62eb ... iew%20Prep

Thanks for sharing, the sessions are insightful!

I don't think his GRE score is a weak point. It's well above almost all the averages in even top 15. And someone coming from Pakistan, I don't think he is over represented. The GPA, if it's over 4, then it's amazing. For me all the chosen schools are really safe. If he works well on his essays, I have no doubt he'd get interviews for all of them and continue from there. I'd suggest you try 3 more ambitious schools like Cornell, Ross, and UNC. Come back to thank me later

Thanks for the feedback! Suggestions taken, I'll be targeting Cornell Johnson, Ross, and Tepper in the next round. Right now though, I'm all in on prep for my interviews. Really hoping to land scholarships!

I hope so too! I’ve just seen Les motivation among schools to provide scholarships for GRE applicants but this is purely anecdotal.

Weird Question...Do you remember time of day you got your acceptance offer/email from Scheller? Next week Friday i should be hearing my decision from Scheller for Round 2.

No worries, I had similar questions. The wait does give anxiety, I got the decision email at 10:22 am.

Thank You
