MLT MBA Prep Program Review
As part of my MBA application journey (see my MBA SERIES), I discussed one of my pre-MBA programs – Management Leadership for Tomorrow (MLT). This program was FUCKING AMAZING!! This game-changer program got me 5 full-tuition scholarships at top universities, including 1 Ivy League. I wrote a little about the program here, but that was…

My Nigerian mom was supportive?!
My parents stayed with me for a week to celebrate the holidays. I wondered when anyone would bring up the ‘where are you going to school? And when will you accept Yale because it’s your best option.’ Finally, on the last night, my dad and mum had separate talks with me on the topic. My…

Creating a life I don’t want to run away from
I’m in a stage of analysis paralysis. Since my last MBA update, I’ve gotten into 2 more schools with full tuition scholarships – UCLA & NYU, which has been absolutely wild and amazing. I am ultra grateful. I know that no matter where I end up, I’ll find a way to make the best of…

I got full rides to Yale & Emory.
I got in homies!! These are the first 2 schools I’ve heard from – Yale University and Emory University. I got full tuition scholarships at both programs through the consortium (I wrote about them in my post on How I saved $1800 in MBA Application fees). If you’re new here, I would recommend reading through…

Waiting for life to start?
TL:DR I’m spiraling about my future. I’ve been in waiting mode for a few weeks. I’m waiting to hear back from my schools. Waiting to quit my job. Waiting to leave Buttfuck, CA. Waiting for my future stable lover to find me in my apartment. I’ve been feeling very anxious and aware that I’m waiting…

Also, I wanted to get resources on making the best application possible and to network with admissions officers. This application process taught me that…

4 Interviews and Counting…
This isn’t a pipe dream anymore. I’m moving to start my new life in less than 9 months. I have interviews with Emory, UCLA, Columbia, and Yale. Since this is getting real, I have to remind myself of what I value. My mum asked me today – ‘what is the average cost of an MBA?’.…

I saved $1800 on MBA Applications
In the spirit of finishing most of my applications, I just realized I saved about $200-$250 on MBA applications. How did I do this, you ask? If you didn’t ask, why are you reading this blog? BYE! I saved $1800 by using the Consortium common application. I only ended up paying $325 for 7 schools.…

Let’s quit this bitch
I started thinking about what I would need to do/have to feel comfortable quitting my 9-5 in March. For those new to the blog, I’m returning to school for my MBA in Fall 2024 (manifesting this even though I haven’t applied yet). But I’ve been thinking about having a summer vacation. A long summer vacation.…

Boston 2023 Trip Review
Harvard was not what I expected. I felt some type of way. But I still want them to accept me though! Ok, I’ll break down a little bit about why I thought that. Firstly, I got to the dorms with my big ass suitcases from Nigeria. I was on the 3rd floor and there was…
