Hi:
I want to do loyalty marketing - hoping to work at Harrah's after graduation or do Starwood's MBA training program for an internship then onto another loyalty marketing company.
Working at Harrah's Total Rerwards would be a dream and I saw that they recruit from LA, NW, Columbia, Duke, Harvard, Stanford and few a others. I was wondering if someone could provide some insight on other schools that would be strong in loyalty marketing. I already applied to UCLA Round 1 and interviewed with them last week, but in the event that i'm not accepted, I feel that I should apply elsewhere.
I'm looking to stay in the top 15 ish. I think HWS might be a little out of reach.
Schools I've considered are:
Northwestern - reach
Columbia - reach
Duke - don't relaly want to go to North Carolina
Tuck - I don't really want New England weather
Michigan - Even worse winters
Berkeley - I felt people were too stiff that I met
Ones that are a little closer in line to what I'm thinking
1. McCombs - supposed to be ok marketing, ok winters, should be gone for the summers. - no harrahs though? I saw that 4 seasons recruits from there but I don't know which department
2. USC - Marketing is ok - no harrahs though? didn't see any hospitality companies that recruit from there?
Any insight would be great. I thought UCLA interview went ok, but I know there are a lot of very qualified people are applying.
Thanks in advance.
