Hi friends, in this next episode of Cherie's Corner, I speak with my Stanford MBA classmate, Gabriela Forter. She’s a dual admit to Harvard and Stanford MBA programs. She talks about choosing Stanford and also still ending up going to Harvard, not for her business degree, but for her Masters in Public Policy. Despite having a successful career in consulting at Deloitte and product management at Meta, she still finds value in pursuing two masters degrees; she explains her reasoning and thinking behind this decision. Gabriela discusses her multi-year strategy and plan she took when applying to MBA programs. She also gives advice to people who are currently in their application process. Finally, Gabriela is one of the most mindful people I know and we discuss how journaling and meditation led her to figure out her career goals and deal with imposter syndrome and not feeling FOMO. Let’s get started.
