Yale Business School Puns

I’ve looked at all the data, I analyzed the tips of the graph and the circumcision aligns perfectly with the head so I think we’re in for an explosive boom. If it goes up just 100% and $3 but 12:00 tomorrow we can have enough money for a 2 for $40 special at Applebee’s to feed 50 bananas to each silverback gorilla in the Trader Joe’s parking lot. Obviously this will depend on bananas holding strong at $10 per bushel to create enough demand for 100 UPS drivers to ship them from South America at a cost less than standard postage per banana. Banana futures are sitting at $20 per barrel out of speculation that they’re switching from shipping in bushels to shipping and selling them by the barrel.

I’m buying the dip tomorrow if there even is one. It may just start off hard and stay hard the whole way through.

I am a financial advisor and any money you lose taking this advice you can hold me personally and financially responsible for up to the cost of my least favorite kid who I don’t want to send to college anyways because he got a fucking B in algebra. Enjoy raising my definitely on the spectrum kid who will probably end up just like his dad which will soon be you.

here is the proof that will lay out everything about how the vaccine will keep us microchipped enough to the point where we can’t see the weather machines anymore and don’t notice Bill Gates sneaking out at night in a tight black unitard to turn the dials and switches that calibrate the machines to produce enough chemical waste that turn frogs and other reptiles into hermaphrodites.

I've not been admitted for the MBA's, but the MS degrees in both. Which school has a better rep as a business school?

View Poll

I'm in a bit of a predicament and would appreciate any input. I was admitted to Yale SOM with a scholarship during Round 2, and I've already put down a deposit. I decided to put in a late application to CBS, and I was admitted today, although I don't have any details on scholarship from them. Assuming they aren't going to give me any, what should I do?

Edit 7/1/20: I told Columbia the hard news that I wouldn't be accepting their offer. Thanks, all, for the input. My grandma is gonna be super impressed!

Just started working in consulting full-time, I know from colleagues that I will most likely be sponsored for b-school in 2-3 years unless my performance is poor. Not too sure how that process works but I am starting to prepare early in order to maximise my chances of getting in.

MBA Info

Why I want an MBA: Good upward career/life progression + sponsored Target schools: M7

Background

Work experience: Just started at McKinsey as a Business Analyst (entry level right after college)

Extracurriculars and other experience: Nothing here as of now, I will do college interviews and participate in triathalons, but I doubt I can seriously devote time with full-time consulting.

Undergrad school/major: Engineering at Yale

Other education/coursework: Graduated with honours and a few awards

Race/nationality: Asian/Australian

Sex: Male

Stats

GMAT Score: 770 (51Q 44V)

Undergrad GPA: 3.7

• What should I be doing over the next two years to best get in?
• Are ECs important with a demanding job, should I be thinking about them now?
• Who should I be using for rec letters?

Thanks for the help and let me know if you'd like any more information!

Like surely there has to be at least a couple of graphic design majors that can create a user interface that isn’t downright hideous, right?

Like tell me this is not the worst art website you’ve ever seen

Hello guys, wondering which schools can outshine in the future maybe because of location advantage, dean, career resources etc. Also, please chime in on the schools and their regional strength like Foster feeds into tech specifically Amazon and Microsoft.

Sorry if the answer is obvious. Was just looking at this data that shows for 2019 grads, Yale’s employed @ grad was 83.8%, 14th in the nation. Is this data misleading in some way? Was it an off year?
