agree with Cheeyong. It all depends what YOU want and WHAT MATTERS TO YOU MOST (hehe, quote from Stanford essay topic).
Another factor is how long you are willing to wait. Like, if you now have 2 years work experience, you may be qualified to go to a top 20. If you work for another 2 years, maybe top 5. But nothing is absolute, it all dependes on YOUR specific situaion. It would not surprise me at all if a girl give up HBS just to marry the one she loves. |
