Didn't Round 1 already end? I was wondering why he didn't write his essay yet, maybe he is aiming for R2. I have a very similar background with him (software engineer), but 3.8 GPA and 780 GMAT + Ivy league CS undergrad with entrepreneurship as a goal and applied in R1. Hopefully I have a similar chance as him for the GSB which is my dream school!
With those high GMAT, i think he can change his mind about post-MBA. Instead of being VCist, he can work for an investment banking like GS/JPM/MS/Nomura/Bank of America. I definitely sure that an investment bank would love someone from typical quant-guy.
This guy says mmm-hmm to acknowledge a statement instead of actually articulating a word -- like yes, I agree, or sure. The mmm-hmmm response will not look favorable to the admission officers interviewing him and he also shouldn't play with his chin -- that is annoying.
Why would McKinsey think twice hiring such a guy? Why is it a big no no to be 31 or 34 by the end of graduation with such a profile and potentially an interesting story? I would be careful to take their advice at face value. Interesting profiles featured, though.
Bro just needs to use his undergrad network to get into VC. Guys like him should be last to get an MBA

Does he really need an MBA?
