<p>Oh if you're a Wharton (a descendant of Joseph Wharton-he founded the school) I'm sure you're pretty much guarenteed acceptance into Wharton MBA.</p>
<p>ballerina, that's quite a profile there...quant strength + 4.0 at Cornell + 178 LSAT + perfect GMAT + work experience at GS!</p>
<p>A question/request for advice: is there anything you would advise to those who wish to work at GS? Did you have an internship with GS junior year? Do you have any idea how to go about getting an internship with a bank like GS (or any bulge bracket, really) early in college (freshman/soph year)?</p>

<p>It sure is quite a profile. Especially when you consider that 6 months ago, ballerina stated that she was still taking coursework that indicates that she's still a lower-level course requirements as can be seen from post #5 in the following thread. I wonder how she was able to complete two majors just 6 months later? </p>
<p>i am an incoming freshmen at the University of Michigan college of engineering. it is a very costly school so i was thinking of transferring to Stony Brook University in New York. i have always wanted to pursue an MBA at NYU Stern as a graduate student but i was wondering if i would have a much better chance of being accepted to the program being a graduate of U.M rather than Stony Brook. is this true?</p>
<p>I’m applying to top business schools this year, and admissions has gotten MUCH more difficult since 2006, when this thread first started. Many of the people who were listed would not have gotten in to those top schools if they had applied in the last 3 years. Just to give an example of how insane it has gotten, i have a friend who was summa cum laude at penn undergrad, where he did a dual degree in finance from wharton and a french major in the college, got a masters at harvard, did BCG consulting for 3 years, had substantial international experience, fluent in arabic and french, and scored a 780 on the GMAT. he was rejected at harvard and stanford and went to wharton. Another friend did engineering at berkeley undergrad, 3.5 GPA, 770 GMAT, consulting at mckinsey, corporate strategy at a respectable firm, and he got rejected at harvard, stanford, wharton, columbia, and kellogg.</p>
<p>Lol you guys realize you’re asking for resumes from a post that’s four years old? This thread is a fossil, the data isn’t even correct anymore! In the past five years, the average GMATs at these schools have risen from 700 or so to about 720 now.</p>
