Got waitlisted ... not the best feeling.

Anyone got tips on getting off the waitlist to admit ?

Any waitlisted folks got in yet ?


After R2, McCombs offered a webinar for waitlisted candidates that went through the process and had tips for improving your candidacy. I am sure there will be a similar webinar for the R3 candidates.

Best of luck!

Is quadrilateral PQRS a parallelogram? (1) Adjacent sides PQ and QR

Is quadrilateral PQRS a parallelogram?

(1) Adjacent sides PQ and QR have the same length.
(2) Adjacent sides RS and SP have the same length.


Target question: Is quadrilateral PQRS a parallelogram?
If you recognize that each statement on its own is not sufficient, we can jump straight to . . .


Statements 1 and 2 combined
There are infinitely-many quadrilaterals that satisfy BOTH statements. Here are two:

Case a: PQRS could be a square.
Image
Since a square is a type of parallelogram, the answer to the target question is YES, quadrilateral PQRS IS a parallelogram

Case b: PQRS could be kite-shaped.
Image
In this case, the answer to the target question is NO, quadrilateral PQRS is NOT a parallelogram

Since we cannot answer the target question with certainty, the combined statements are NOT SUFFICIENT

Answer: E

Cheers,
Brent

Does cone A have the same volume as cylinder B? (Volume of a cone = 1/3 pi r^2 h, and Volume of a cylinder = pi r^2 h)

1. The cone and the cylinder have the same height.
2. The ratio of the radius of the cone to the radius of the cylinder is 3:1.

Question:
Is \(\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2_1h_ 1= \pi r^2_2 h_2\)
where \(r_1\) and \(h_1\) are radius and height of cone respectively, and \(r_2\), \(h_2\) radius and height of cylinder respectively.

I) \(h_1= h_2\)
\(\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2_1{h_ 1}= \pi r^2_2 {h_1} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{3} r^2_1= r^2_2\)
But we still do not know the relation between \(r_1\) and \(r_2\) Not suff.

II) \(\frac{r_1}{r_2}=\frac{3}{1}\)
Not suff on its own as we do not know the relation between \(h_1\) and \(h_2\)
1+2

We know that \(h_1 =h_2\) and also the relation between \(r_1\) and \(r_2\)
Suff.

Ans C

Please check : the actual ratio of the radius should be\(\sqrt{3}:1\)

Georgetown Law vs Yale SOM

teleste, temper that enthusiasm. I know plenty of folks who value a JD over an MBA in the business world. Beyond this, each person, depending on their wants and desires, career wise, will decide which is more valuable. Lastly, anything in the T-25, much like B-school, is considered strong enough to get you to where you want to be. To make a blanket a statement that anything outside T-13 isn't worth it is ridiculous. Plus, Georgetown is right on the line. And FYI, we on the law side argue T-14 is the first breaking point, not T-13.

obiwanginobili, if you want to do a dual degree, that would probably be best for you. With your scores, maybe look at a school that offers a dual T-10 (Duke or UCLA, perhaps?).

Is x an integer ? Yes/No consistently will be sufficient
Now stat (1) x+5 = integer> x= integer-integer =integer ,so YES x is an integer (sufficient)

Stat (2) x/(1/4)= integer> (x/(1/4))(4/4)= 4x= integer >x=integer/4

when x=4/4=1 YES x is an integer but when x=2/4=1/2 No x is not an integer (Insufficient)
Ans is (A)

On what planet is a JD>MBA?

It only takes one look at websites like TLS and ATL to see that a JD is usually only valuable if you get it from a T13 school (of which GULC is not one) AND you're committed to practicing law as an attorney.

Virtually any other unicorn aspirations can usually be achieved without a JD...

Posted from my mobile device


It was my understanding that traditionally Georgetown was part of the Duke, Northwester, Cornell tier of law schools, but in recent years it has somewhat slipped due to lower Big Law + Article 3 clerkship numbers. However, I hear big law is still very achievable out of Georgetown, but you should be in the top half to feel safe (whereas with Cornell, Duke, and Northwestern you just not need to be in the bottom third). But, assuming that I do not want to do big law (though a Federal clerkship obv would be amazing and maybe I would feel the pull of BL after having spent a year just as I would likely feel the pull of consulting if I went to SOM), I think there is very little difference between the schools. In fact, among those schools, I am pretty sure Georgetown has the best reputation in public interest (much like Yale does in business schools among its tier).

As to the JD vs MBA, I have spent most of my time around nonprofits and government, and it just seems as if a JD is valued more highly in these circles.

But the again, Yale is Yale, and perhaps management skills (whatever they may be) may be more transferable than understanding contracts and torts.

80 m/sec * 60 sec/min * 60 min/hr = 8*36 + 000 --> 288,000 m/hr

The choices are very spread out so we should estimate.

1440*1000 / 288,000 1500/300 5 (time to destination)

Time from destination is half, so 2.5 + 5 = 7.5 hours.

College: Small, private engineering college
GPA: 3.6 (Major GPA 3.8) | College years: Aug 2013- Dec 2017
Major and Minor: Computational Mathematics Major, Aerospace Engineering minor

GMAT: 760

Pertinent Info:

Enlisted in Military Accessions Vital to National Interests (MAVNI) Program for international students. Ship date was delayed 1 week before I was supposed to ship due to Secretary of Defense concerns about the program, and GPA suffered the following semester (penultimate semester ) due to anxiety and other challenges as a result of the sudden delay (lowest only time ever below a 3.2), recovered with a 4.0 in final semester with 21 credits.

Job Experience/Internships:

1) Co-Founded an IT solutions company in home country

2) Interned in Propulsion engineering group of Delta Air Lines (1 year co-op) (Delta for 4 months, school for 4 months on and off between Aug 2015 and April 2017).

3) Interned in Technology Division (Trade Processing) at Goldman Sachs in NY (3 mos): May-Aug 2017

4) 1 year in Securities Division Engineering (Listed Derivates) at Goldman Sachs in NY: April 2018 - May 2019

5) Currently Quantitative Analyst at Fin-tech startup in NY (portfolio and risk optimization for banks and institutional investors)

Why MBA?

I want to start a fin-tech company in my home country, a country plagued with many grassroots issues. I really want to be successful, so I want to learn as much as I can, and gain the skills and credibility I need to succeed from B-School. I also love that I'll be able to leverage an extensive alumni network

Leadership/Research/Awards

1) Research Assistant - Conducted research on mathematical models and how they are taught to new engineering students

2) Founded local chapter of Engineers Without Borders, served as president raised over $30,000 in funding

3) Student Tutor

4) Served in Student Government as a Representative for the College of Engineering and other roles.

5) Worked on various projects and held other leadership roles on campus

6) Lots of awards including Army Certificate of Achievement for Distinguished Leadership (only one per platoon training class of 30-60 people), American Institute of Aeronautics and Aerospace (AIAA) Iridium Scholar

7) Ranked top 25% of analysts in GS analyst class (End of Year Review - Ranking is graded Q1 (top 25%), Q2...Q4)

Positioning

Initially started off studying aerospace engineering as I loved planes and this guided my college choice. I realized even though I love planes, I also love fin-tech and the impact in can especially in my home country, this is what guided my pivot to change majors/career path.

Because production costs are rising, a local theater company is planning to maximize its profits by reducing by half the number of plays it stages per season. The quality of performances, their frequency, and the admission price will not change. Furthermore, neither the audience nor the sponsors, an important source of theater funding, is expected to be lost if the plan is instituted.

Which of the following, if true, provides the strongest evidence that the theater's profits are not likely to increase if the plan is instituted?

(A) The majority of theatre goers are concerned about possible loss of production quality.

(B) Most sponsors will continue to donate the same amount of money per production as they have in the past.

(C) Next year's production costs are expected to be on average 20% higher for each production.

(D) Many theater lovers would continue to attend performances regularly even if the admission fee were increased.

(E) Performers' and technical personnel's salaries will not change in the near future.
