Do you have any insight on how the admissions committee views an applicant's score on the "Integrated Reasoning" section of the GMAT? The significance of that section is a mystery!
Hi, I was hoping you could review me. Thanks! GPA: 4.0 GMAT: 750 Degree: B.A. Economics, Finance Minor at USC (CA). Graduated in 2 years. Job: Work at top Economic/Financial litigation consulting firm (NERA, Cornerstone, or Analysis Group). Worked on cases involving Patent/IP, Antitrust, Insider Trading, M&A, etc. Will have 2-3 years of work experience when start business school. Given my age having graduated early, is an extra year of work experience a big plus? How is economic/litigation consulting received vs management consulting/other jobs? Application Story: Wasn't sure if wanted to do law, econ, or mba, so did econ consulting after college. Now am decided on mba and want to pursue management consulting post-mba. Personal: Club soccer player, tutored USC Athletes, taught AP Bio to classes of LA high schoolers, run a sub 3:30 marathon. Can get rec from prize winning economist who worked for personally. Interned at top mutual fund while in college. What are my chances at: HBS, Stanford, Chicago, Wharton, MIT, Northwestern
neb- i see this after 4 years of your comment... DID you get into any of these schools ? What were the challenges you faced at interviews ? or during school
haha, the reasons people flunk the interview are often very basic, that is the whole point. I have done over 1000 HBS mock interiviews and spoken to the candidates afterwards, so let's let readers decide whether your view of the interview is more fact-based, helpful, and accurate or mine. And by the way, what do you want to add? Since we are all about helping candidates?
People nowadays are changing the way they are consuming education. Online is the most efficient way to gain an MBA qualification. The technology has finally caught up with the requirements.
Truly intelligent and creative people never even get in such universities. Why? Because geniuses who think outside of the box, are too right and left brain to even get a high score on that joke of a test GMAT. As a gebius w a PhD in engineering, I never managed to go over 460 in verbal. 800 quant, yet 460 verbal. Not only English was never my original language, a gifted mathematical person like me thinks way outside of the box and research shows, not only creative people score very differently on verbal tests, women and different population groups and culture all will score differently depending on their brain wiring and nuances in a culture during verbal tests. These tests were created in the 60s by a bunch of men from Boston and they measure capability of men from Boston ( from 60s). I wouldn’t pay a penny to go to Harvard, as I already know there won’t be a single interesting and truly intelligent and unique person that I will meet in such places. What I already know I’ll see is a carbon copy of a bunch of men in club, all probably with the same GMAT scores and satisfying the right boxes in the right contacts and all that. As a woman with phd in engineering and already as a founder in a company, I KNOW there won’t be a single person I could get an invitation to enter their club. These are all clicky clubby low level people who aren’t unique in anything. They couldn’t survive and manage 1% of what I actually have, as a mother, child of war, not previlidged at all, worked for every penny always etc. These two guys will learn a lot from me but I’m sure they’ll never have the guts to face a person like me. I’m an expert in sniffing people. Lucky I didn’t apply years ago when I was thinking about MBA, surely I would not have been invited.
@Tiger Glory Clearly, you just proved my point. You must have been the type that gets into these universities. The average idiot type who JUDGED the surface and always misses to see who is truly a genius.These tests will NEVER letTesla, Einstein, Feynman etc get in and you are TOO STUPID and too AVERAGE to comprehend my point or understand people in our level. BTW, Genius people don't give TWO SHITS about typos or editing. We care about the CONTENT and the substance.
@Tiger Glory and next time before opening your useless HOLE, read the message first. To the end. You stupid judgmental vane shallow idiot ( Harvard is PERFECT for you). I am glad you proved to me what I always knew about the character of the folks going to these overrated obsolete clubs.
@Tiger Glory also, intelligent people don't use emojis. That is a childish juvenile style of writing. No one who is a mature professional will take you seriously. My long rant full of typos is going to be much more respected because it is FULL of content. It is FULL of examples and UNIQUE points of views that makes you think. It is OUTSIDE the BOX. LEARN how to write IF you want intelligent genius level people take you seriously. You have contributed NOTHING and made a a pity vane shallow comment , yet I have taught you plenty & contributed to this topic providing the opposing view. That is the reality that everyone above average can see. If I had to interview you for my company, you'd be out by now.
Suggest some material through which we can prepare for the interview?
lol I'm a highschool senior. What am I doing right now bruh

neb My friend, where did you go for your MBA in the end?
neb- i see this after 4 years of your comment... DID you get into any of these schools ? What were the challenges you faced at interviews ? or during school
Has the HBS Guru founder actually been to the MBA program at HBS? Not sure. And I have. Not sure how helpful these tips are. This is very basic!
