My wedding is at 10:30am. Who gets married that early???

I only have friends in the PT program, so I'll just have go through the formal visit process. I went to Cal for undergrad, so it'll be nice to be back on campus...albeit in much nicer facilities!

Guys and gals,
Just wanted to let you know that I'll be attending Haas in the fall, so if you have questions related to the application process, PM me, and I can try to answer them. Not sure how helpful it will be, but I thought I'd offer.

Good luck with your apps!

Hi Naturallight! Would love to meet up with you sometime. When will you be moving on campus? I heard the math camp starts on August 6th, my friend will be attending that.

Interesting! So, ncprasad, are you planning to apply to a mix of FT and PT programs this fall? Are you looking at a backup to the Berkeley PT also (Considering that the Berkeley PT is arguably the most competitive program to get into .. specially for some over-represented demographics)?

I was also thinking about applying PT when my green-card process seemed to fall in a limbo. But I am now focusing on FT only.

I dont consider berkeley PT a back up and I dont have a back up for UCB PT. I am planning to take my chances.

My FT portfolio looks like this.

HBS, MIT, Ross,Cornell.

My no.1 choice is MIT. HBS is a hail mary.Between Ross, Cornell and UCB, I will choose UCB anyday. Mainly because I am not a career changer and my post MBA goal is an amalgamation of entrepreneurship and social responsibility. UCB beats Ross and Cornell hands down in these areas. Add to this, the opportunity cost of a FT MBA. UCB provides me the opportunity to work part-time while planning for my post MBA company launch.


I attended a UCB info session and spent some time with both the admissions director and a few current students. I came away with a nice feeling and will have no hesitation going to UCB ahead of Ross and Cornell.

Do you think that you'll be able to spend more time in the PT program than just attending the classes (Considering you'll be working FT too)? Have you made some plans about "going beyond attending the classes"?

ps. Sorry for hijacking the thread a little

My post may have been somewhat unclear. I will not work FT when I attend UCB PT. I will do freelance consulting(20 hrs) and get as much out of UCB as possible.

I already have a consulting business on the side and although I am currently doing pro bono, I will probably do paid consulting for new clients.
