I see Product managers, Program Managers, etc...  That is a bit discouraging because I know for a fact that people like me are in Engineering because we love it and now need an MBA to leverage our product development knowledge... But I hope whoever said that they have a good representation of individual contributors knows of a few hands-on engineers... Or is it a case that hands-on engineers should not be applying to EWMBA? It's the revenge of the business folks man! They are sticking it to the Engineers  BTW: Program Manager isn't really a manager in the typical sense of the word. I would consider them IC's.

From what I have seen, I would consider a few Project Managers and Product Managers as IC's too... But the fact that I don't have ANY sort of a managerial title makes me VERY nervous...

GMAT is 720. I guessed it right. I am 30/M/Indian working for a top tech company in the bay area as an engineer. never had a manager title, but lead various projects within my team...

Coming up with random statistics and then guessing over what might happen on 1st feb is also fun... I was just counting... and seems like there are 82+ people (out of 250 admitted students) from Indian origin in the class that joined in fall 2012.. :D talk about being over represented... I am sure that 75% of those folks would be in tech.. :D

Or is it a case that hands-on engineers should not be applying to EWMBA? 24% of last year's incoming class came from Engineering, 11% from Project Management. I'd say you have a pretty decent shot. The biggest problem is that there are a lot of engineering applying and Haas doesn't want a class that's 75% engineers.

Thanks for sharing
The one comment I would add is that for EWMBA the % of applicants interviewed to interview is much higher around ~60-80% based on various responses on this thread....

So is the % of applicants admitted. Wonder if the ratio of those interviewed to those admitted is the same across EWMBA and FT programs...

Well the FT program is ~12% of their application pool is admitted. So, it's roughly the same.

ferrarifan2905 wrote: Do you know the % of interviewed applicants who are admitted for EWMBA ? Last I heard, about 40% of the application pool was admitted and everyone admitted was interviewed. So, assuming a 66% interview rate, you have roughly a 60% chance of being admitted if you interviewed.
