No, not again here. I have admits from other schools.

Huh? What? 2 consecutive after 80% scholarships????

Personally I think conversations about whether you should go for an mba to the USA should be limited to general discussion groups Students in school admit groups are anxious as is and these conversations just add to the noise We should keep these limited to Ross related conversations and that's it

Yes. Will try my luck with the visa. Have spent so much time and resources, backing out is not an option now.

How are you guys thinking about visa - are you planning to keep any non USA MBA options open in case visa doesnt work out in your favor? I know one guy - Savi who got into Stanford last year but couldn’t get the visa and had to sit for whole year doing nothing as he left the job. See his/her linkedin.

Wait it sounds off, he got into Stanford but couldn’t find a job for one year with his profile ?

Check LinkedIn This seems true Seems like Savi joined back their company as an independent consultant

Not company but admission consultant. Because he left his job early. And it came out publicly. Companies may not offer full time position with someone going for mba in coming months. But internship still an option. Savi joined his MBA admission consultant.
