I just received an email from Goldman Sachs saying that they decided not to make me a finalist for their summer MBA fellowship program. I knew that they had a lot of applicants for the ~10 spots they had available, but I was hoping to at least get an interview at which point I would make my case and improve my chances. This fellowship would have been clutch because it would have covered both years of tuition with my only requirement being to work for them in an internship. I applied for fellowships with similar terms at Ford and GM through Stanford’s Partnership for Diversity fellowship program, but now I’m starting to think that my chances are slim-to-none at those two companies. It looks like I’ve got $100K+ in student loans awaiting me in the future…

Its a very good blog and would love to see a Mc Kinsey Consultant sharing his experiences.
