Looking to apply round 1, specifically Early Action at Duke as it is my top choice.

GPA low due health situation that impacted first two years of undergrad, made Dean's List final two years at Top 50 undergrad. Have client facing/transaction experience in banking but have been drawn to strategic initiative implementation the past 3 years, leading me to a desire to shift into consulting, specifically strategic/management with a focus on organizational behavior/mergers.

Would love to be on the East Coast (Boston or DC) as I have family in both cities. Thank you for any feedback!
I have applied in R2 for 2024 entry to CBS, MIT, HBS, and GSB. I did not receive an interview invite for any school except the GSB. I am wondering what my reapplication chances are and where I should focus on my areas of improvement. I have significant undergrad ECs but limited ECs/ charity work post undergrad.
So thrilled!! :) Accepted with scholarship.
Rejected from many of the schools I’d applied to, and I’d lost hope really!
Simon truly has been so great with their communication! I’m really excited for the journey.
Applied to Simon on 01/05 Interview invite on 01/26
Acceptance call 01/27
Wishing everyone the best! It’s been one hell of a Pre-MBA ride.
Waitlisted R2 via portal. 5 years of work experience in investment banking and corporate development / strategy
Military; waitlisted R1 after ADCOM interview, remaining on waitlist and will another waitlist update on May 23, 2024
I know that Stanford does not typically accept anyone from the Waitlist given their extremely high yield rate. Good luck to everyone who got in! Hope you enjoy.
Applied on Feb 14, a day before the R3 deadline.
Interview was scheduled for 10:45 pm on Mar 11, but I had to reschedule it to 12:45 am Nepal time on Mar 13.
Acceptance call came on Mar 27, 9:15 pm Nepal time (maybe 8:30 PST).
Been jumping up and down so much that my foot and knee have started hurting!
Wharton has always been my dream school! Anyone else who got in from NY?
I've finally chosen Olin for my MBA goal. The strength of their entrepreneurship program was particularly influential, especially as a startup founder myself. Excited for the journey ahead.
