Congrats Ben! Getting into Wharton is such a huge accomplishment, but you absolutely deserve it. It's amazing how you've grown this channel through sheer hard work, consistency, and determination. I remember finding this channel about a year ago when you had less than 500 subs, you've come so far so fast! I can't wait to see where Wharton takes you and how rareliquid evolves from here. You're gonna kill it!

[@rareliquid]

you are a day 1 supporter! haha appreciate that more than you know~

[@gcsargent]

Congrats, Ben! I found the MBA journey so rewarding - for many of the reasons you mentioned. It's a grind, but totally worth it. Best of luck!

[@danelston9317]

Congratulations dude! I recently completed my MBA and it was the best decision I ever made. I was hesitant at first and by networking with others, I went for it. I have health issues within my family too so I have paused the job search but will be back in the USA soon. Good luck!

[@toithichvideo]

[@celdricliamchua2109]

i'm actually thinking about my future rn even tho I'm still 17 which ik is still young but this channel really helped me make a lot of decisions on what i wanna major in the future and I was just researching what an MBA was . I wish you all the best and hope the next video you make will be about your journey to becoming a CFO XDXD

[@saintjames1509]

Congratulations man! you're going to love living on the east coast

[@KobiPresents1]

Having a banking background myself, I’ve heard so many people say b school was the best two years of their life ! Not to mention the MBA is going to gain a ton of credibility. VCs will love to see it during your seed funding/series A 😉 lol congrats man

[@parker5548]

I'm not sure that having an MBA bears much relevance when raising early stage VC? From my experience, I'd imagine it's actually one of the last things they would pay notice to when assessing you and your team. (Coming from someone who does want to get an MBA at some point over the next 10 years).

[@salexander3801]

@@parker5548 nahhh it definitely drastically helps lol, I’ve seen the stats and live reactions when schools are announced to VCs

[@chuckinsauce97]

Congrats man! this is super inspiring

[@ibrahimaballer23]

Congrats. Hope you do well .

[@isibro]

Congrats, Ben, from a fellow Lauderite '19, for what will be an amazing experience no doubt! Been watching your videos for a little less than a year - can't believe you're joining Lauder! would love to connect!

[@paparazi97]

Wow, congrats on your GMAT and Wharton ! Cheers from Belgium

[@supremerental9628]

[@jaysky3350]

Wharton! Congrats Ben that's a top 3 BS right there. You never know, could also always choose to recruit after your first year to keep some options open if things pan out differently than expected.

[@AhBoyInUSA]

Congrats! You gonna have a great time

[@elinapopovidi6389]

Hi Ben! This was very informative. Could you do a video detailing what went right/wrong with your business and what advice would you give to somebody who is about to start executing an entrepreneurial idea ?

[@lesliekim253]

Genuinely honest. Wish you the best of luck.

[@ApurvaShukla92]

Congratulations Ben! Great to see you're going to Wharton, I've only heard good about it. Would love to study at such a top tier university too. I'm living in Germany, currently pursuing my Bachelor and just today got a working student job in Financial Management for PE customers - super excited about it too. Love to follow your path, keep up the good work and the motivating content :)

[@KY-mz8xl]

Congrats!👍👍

[@franklynforeal]

Excited for you

[@MartaSaxena]

Hi RareLIquid! I was surprised when I saw this vid come through. You've been incredibly successful on KZbin (I've been watching your 12 updates series). You've already started your own company, grown a successful channel. I understand Wharton is really hard to turn down... very tough decision overall. Looking forward to see where you go from here!

[@rareliquid]

Thanks for following me on my journey! More to come :)

[@sodangchrispy]

Woohoo! Congrats!

[@barryaherne215]

Wow, awesome! Congratulations on the huge accomplishment! Can't wait to see what the future holds! In terms of rareliquid, what happens with the website, the discord, the hedge fund and the channel now you're off to full-time education? I'm excited to see how this goes! Congrats again! :-)

[@Isaac_601]

I also recently applied for an MBA program during the pandemic because the GMAT requirement was being waived. It's not a top business school but they recently became AACSB and their tuition is not crazy expensive which is a plus since I'm paying for my MBA without any scholarships or grants. Wish you the best on this new journey !

[@rareliquid]

thank you and best of luck with your journey as well!
