MBA Info
Goal of MBA: I transitioned from Real Estate to consulting because I honestly found RE to be a bit bland (esp on the modeling side). My goal is to transition into traditional PE, and if I can't make that transition through my post UG experience, use an MBA to get into MBB consulting, or IB to recruit and gain the skills/network in order to make the transition... (I've read to avoid saying your goal is to get into PE through a MBA directly)
Target schools: Please advise! Right now looking at (ordered):
Reach: Wharton, Booth
Target: Kellogg, Stern, Sloan, Tuck, Fuqua
