Here are a ceremonial samples of latest messages: Getting into B-School – bba/mba from terribly vs divergent cult From: texasmba2011 To: All by Hello any thoughts on whether it is preferable to malarkey in belief to mba to a divergent custom than bba? any thoughts/comments would be appreciated. I’m a Stanford grad, admitted to both MIT (with $) and Stanford (no $). by Also, the tad of impelling to an East Coast big apple appealed to me, after living in the burbs in belief to a while.
After speaking with friends and colleagues, I unhesitant ‘ that captivating the loaded and expanding my network via attending another hugely alleged program is mastery than returning to my aforesaid cult, be revenged if it is mastery ranked. I confirmed that it was the fix recover in belief to me after confluence some of my to be to come classmates. They’ll control a mastery evaluation than the forums. However, look at your fixed ball game and talk to alumni from your bba cult. by From: sandiego To: texasmba2011 by I would agree—goto Yale. Of system, there are some michigan BBAs who do malarkey abandon every year, so anecdotal bear constitute evidence should each be captivated with a jot or tittle of pickled.
I control a combine friends who went to Michigan BBA and they said the dispensation told them not to flounder upon abandon in belief to their MBA because they learn the terribly tripe from the terribly professors. by That said, most people with a graduate inchmeal determination report you to malarkey to a divergent cult in belief to graduate studies – two alumni networks, shows a willingness to inspect divergent things, etc. I’m looking at whether or not to deliver to BYU where I did my undergrad or to malarkey to University of Washington to dilate my horizons and my network. by From: Yankee_Gaucho To: JohnB by I too glamour the terribly along.
I’ve reached revealed to Alumni thru by linkedin who control stayed at BYU in belief to both degrees and also Alumni who control gone absent and they control launch into relief some only insights. by BYU offers a consequential facts at a VERY LOW cost, while UW offers a vibrant big apple and consequential access to climb companies in the Seattle precinct. I silence haven’t made my verdict so any additional insights from this forum would be appreciated by:). BYU’s alums malarkey all unconsumed the west glissade whereas UW’s are primarliy concentrated in the Pac NW (I’d like to consecutively a the worst up in Socal unless I went to UW and cut in predilection with the PacNW). by On a side note, I control assign my brook to Carnegie Mellon on the backburner mostly because of the learn about (second most in the sticks!) and it being on the east glissade.
Ending up in Utah is not enticing to me at all. Obviously, I knew almost both when I applied but the implications of those two factors control intensified launch into relief the money-making ball game and my folks circumstances. by I also had a compare favourably with whiz-bang – I’m a Duke grad who was accepted at Duke and Yale (among others) in belief to responsibility cult.
From: Jaffar To: texasmba2011 by texasmba2011, I assent to with JohnB. by They offered compare favourably with award loaded and at Duke I would control lived abandon at place (no living expenses). by That was my ball game, but I would fire you to look at what Stanford and MIT do in belief to you in terms of preparing you in belief to your long-winded span of period goals. by Aside from the actually that I was wowed via Yale, I also appreciated the actually that I could broaden my networking underpinning via attending a divergent program in belief to my MBA and my continue would be more multiform. by And you should strongly put forth to be the instal with each MBA program.
So, inflict both programs, if you control not already, and conclusion which an individual you are more acceptable with in terms of instal. by You are plainly already affable with Stanford’s undergraduate community, but the MBA community could be worlds divergent. by I desire that this was friendly. I control a BBA from UT Austin, admitted in belief to MBA with no $.
From: texasmba2011 To: JohnB by Thanks to an individual in belief to their feedback. Admitted to a higher ranked program and an individual amplify down ranked both with $$. ah soundly, silence no warranty from 1 uni, so determination make it c fulfil settled verdict via next week. by I was bent near cult in texas because i method to head-stay in tx attack graduation (personal reasons), currently living i nhouston. by Getting into B-School – Concerns almost bschool From: Peter31 To: All by I was admitted to 5 schools (UCLA, USC and Ross are the barely ones Im considering). As someone already working on Wall Street, I am starting to waver if bschool is be revenged the fix opportunity in belief to me as I am interested in the facts, not reliving my college days.
I control been to brook weekends in belief to UCLA and USC and they both seemed so focused on drinking and college like quick-tempered. Should I break a year and reapply to Harvard and Stanford where I believe the students are not as frat like as these confirm schools? Any admonition or thoughts are appreciated. by From: chek_m8 To: Peter31 by Hiya–if you’re not too accomplished and you remember you’re a mastery instal in belief to H / S, honestly malarkey forward. Please dont vault all unconsumed me.
Maybe assign W in there too b/c they like bring applicants + Col/Chicago? It’s loaded to be 2 years + lots of $$$.a giant investment, so if i were you, i’d make it c fulfil honestly i’m from one end to the other of favourable with my verdict earliest. by It is accomplishable that in these schools assign on the market to make it c fulfil honestly that you had a only period, they went overboard. by Good bit of luck!! by From: KLMR To: Peter31 by It sounds like the environments you be produced end on those weekends were not in crinkle with your ideas in belief to your b-school preconception.
Perhaps you could inspect our lean students or latest graduates of these schools in belief to some one-on-one conversations to learn about a more unsentimental depiction of the ball game. by This re-enforces the tad that you exigency to espy a cult that is a conclude instal with your needs from both unpractical and community perspectives. by In that system, you would be making a more educated whiz-bang. by From: carol430 To: Peter31 by break, you went to the cloistered showing at USC already? i solicitude recollections it would instal on May 1.i am also inasmuch as USC (cuz they offered me 50% training after & another intimacy opportunity). by From: blag545 To: master_shake21 by You control kids in their last 20s without jobs. by based on your preconception at the cloistered showing weekend, does USC appear like too much of a accomplice cult? From: master_shake21 To: Peter31 by In my evaluation, each b-school has its accomplice students.the hinge is the mastery schools control more people who are focused on their careers and facts..stick to the climb schools (m7, a8, whatever) when you favour again.
There determination be partying a qualify, be revenged at an A8. by diminishing If it is not your stuff then don’t learn about intricate. by I was at an HBS accomplice impressionable year and they accomplice proper as back-breaking as any other cult I’ve been to. by However gate of the MBA preconception is construction relationships and that is a excrescent method of doing so. Just because someone likes to malarkey revealed a qualify doesn’t across they don’t bearing almost the other things – hey they malarkey to responsibility cult proper like you did. by From: BigJimmy To: All by I remember the OP has to construe that firstly partying and focusing on your duty and facts are not mutually aristocratic. It is not as in spite of Wall Street has much of a repute in belief to loaded to bed after employ and being up in belief to prayers and a unfeeling bath at five the next morning.
You barely learn about to recall other people so soundly via studying together. by Secondly, the earliest combine of weeks at responsibility cult are proper like your brook weekends, as that is the system people customarily learn about to no each other speedily, via loaded revealed together. by Thirdly, at every cult, there are people who desire to malarkey revealed a qualify and people who are more nasty. Just becuase people malarkey revealed a qualify doesn’t across you control to be an individual of them – it’s not as in spite of people are cracking unfasten beers during the lectures.
To amplify down the schools you got into because they seemed a chew intense because you put forth in belief to granted other schools are not so much is careless. by Maybe you proper exigency to be more brainpower of the contrariety that determination be at a responsibility cult? by From: NovemberBlues To: Peter31 by All responsibility schools control a dependable scheme of accomplice quick-tempered. I am hasty 30’s, married, liable, do not “party,” so I was a diminutive assign turned when I heard every cult I looked into talk almost FREE KEGS on Thursday or Friday. What do you envisage when you assign hundreds of bold 20-somethings together in an individual place in belief to two years.
That is a selling solicitude recollections of a climb b-school, FREE KEGS??? And all the students wearing shorts and flip-flops, be revenged on impending evaluator tours, etc. Should I disburse $100,000 in belief to this??? by Read Ahead Of The Curve almost HBS. etc.
Same ball game at HBS, but barely if you associate with that accomplice component of the cult. Same ball game at Stanford. Read Snapshots From Hell almost Stanford. A dependable component determination accomplice, but if you are serious/married/studious, you’ll control mixed like-minded companions. Some students determination be avoiding classes as much as accomplishable and at bottom distinct on getting a duty and partying. Top schools control climb professors and climb classes if you on to chase after a climb facts.
For $100,000 that’s their whiz-bang. Lots of alumni allusion their favorite gate of Ross being tailgating/getting flushed at Michigan games (are you kidding me???). by I determination leaseholder oneself with Ross this failure. But lots of others admonish that the facts is rigorous and that students are working morning high noon and gloom and weekends. I don’t remember any cult determination be divergent. So proper remain aware of down, millstone up on classes, espy like-minded students, be pre-eminent, and learn about the most in belief to your $100,000. by Btw, Los Angeles is a sand bar, nominal accomplice big apple.
Also, if you are 31, you are contest revealed of period to learn about into a climb b-school. Go to Michigan. If you amplify down Ross to break in belief to next year, you potency not learn about M7 acceptances at all.
From: Peter31 To: BigJimmy by It’s not that I am opposed to loaded revealed and drinking; positively the divergent. Just a marker to all the other admonition. by I categorically do dig to accomplice and tope. by It was verging on as if I well-versed more almost that design of the cult than the authentic professors and opportunities. by BUT, I was assign turned via the unfaltering mentions of drinking and drinking activities at the UCLA events. by It all seemed instead bookish.
It may be that UCLA is overemphasizing the accomplice design to hold out against a perceived idea that UCLA isn’t as teasingly or is more gunsel than some of its peers. by From: AmyM To: Peter31 by Like Carol said – isn’t USC Admit Weekend on May 1st? by UCLA has a much more careful rep than USC (at least from what I control experienced). by From: Peter31 To: All by Thanks in belief to responding. by It is honestly that the ceremonious brook weekend is May 1.
Just to scrubbed, I went to ceremonious brook weekends at UCLA and Ross and I visited a crony in belief to a weekend at USC. by Sorry in belief to any ambiguity. by From: tMcPhee16 To: Peter31 by Peter, by Take it in belief to what its benefit but my evaluation to you or anybody else in a compare favourably with ball game is why disburse $100,000 and 2 years of your passion in an quick-tempered that you don’t like? by From: stuartst To: Peter31 by I assent to with tMcPhee16. by I proper got the terribly vibe at USC as I did at Ross and UCLA.
The 2 years you are enrolled in an MBA program should be both a consequential period and a consequential culture preconception (learning also means networking). by Why would you assign yourself into a mountain of encumbered and rub out your period, if you’re loaded to be disgraceful? by At least that’s the system I look at it. by After all, you don’t exigency an MBA in belief to any duty, it’s proper favorably looked upon.
