Hi
Sorry for replying so late. Congratulations on getting the call from UC Davis.
Have you accepted the offer or are you waiting for other schools as I see you have shortlisted other schools too.
Can you please share some details like the amount of work ex , type of industry , GMAT score.
Davis was one of the earliest responses so I'm still waiting to hear from some other programs. Still waiting for scholarship/fellowship details, so that will be something to take into account.
Work experience: 3 years (1.5 in a management role) in the broadcast advertising industry, 1 year in video production before that, so I have a pretty unusual background. GMAT 700, GPA 3.94.
If I had any advice for potential applicants, it would be to showcase any strong quantitative experience as they asked me a lot about that in the interview (I don't have a ton, so it's clearly not a deal breaker, but they do look for it). Also, research the companies you want to work for and be able to articulate what skills or experience they want to see in a candidate. Informational interviews might be helpful if you have time.
Hope this is helpful!
