I’m intending to apply for Fall 2025 at T15 schools. Short term goal of general management/shifting into my current role’s international business arm. Long-term goal of entrepreneurship or management. Shortlist of Tepper, mccombs, Haas… but will probably shoot my shot at a couple of M7’s if there’s a chance.
Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks!
