Amen. And congrats!

@FuriousStyles I appreciate a voice of integrity. Frequently -- admittedly not always and not immediately -- what goes around comes around. If it always came around immediately with absolute clarity, acting unethically would simply be incredibly, obviously stupid and not merely wrong.

Best,
Linda

Byrne commented on the blog post Chicago’s Booth vs. Northwestern’s Kellogg School Advice seeker, Columbia's greatest advantage is its location in New York and its status as one of the Ivy League schools. Geography is a major reason why applicants apply to schools. And yes, it's proximity to Wall Street is both a blessing and a curse because the fortunes of the school are more closely tied [...]

Byrne commented on the blog post Wharton’s Impressive New West Coast Digs Paul, The stated reason is they don't want to dilute the value of their two-year, full-time programs. For years, they would divert execs into their exec education course catalog, specifically the multi-week general management program (at HBS, this is the AMP for Advanced Management Program). I believe, however, that some schools and their leadership tend [...]

Byrne commented on the blog post More MBA Applicants Taking GRE Test Said, That's hard to say because your application is based on a lot of different factors. If admissions like what they see generally but would be held back from a yes due to a low GMAT score, an equally low GRE might not hold them back. This would especially be true at schools that are [...]

Also, do you think campus site expansion is an advantage for Wharton and Booth or does it dilute their focus? When I visited Booth I get the impression that [...]

They get the same rejection letter as the applicant with the low GMAT or GPA, or vague goal, or inadequate work experience. You don't know about those admitted applicants whose offers [...]

Byrne commented on the blog post Wharton’s Impressive New West Coast Digs Tsiro,

I'd be interested in hearing how helpful or not your school's career management staff has been in your job search. Most top EMBA programs have at least a dedicated staffer or two and some executive coaches who can offer advice and counsel.

I also think that MBAs in general seem to be more of a commodity than in the past, as many have had the desire to pursue them in whatever format best suits their particulars. Whether tradational 2 year or in the executive format, which is why I believe going [...]

Sorry to hear that your experience has not been positive. Do you think that your experience is representative broadly of the EMBA degree experience or as much related to weekend economy? One thing I feel strongly about is that EMBA graduates from top programs, which you are, are [...]
