Hey all, just wanted to put up a quick post about my visit to Sloan last week. I met with a friend of a friend who's a second year in the LGO program. The morning was spent in a Economics for Strategy class, pretty interesting talk about game theory, Prisoner's dilemma type stuff. Lunch was spent in a seminar where a visiting speaker from Cisco talked about some topics that went right over my head. It was a good example of the quality of outside resources that Sloan can gather though. Also I had a chance to see most of the facilities, nothing too impressive and more than adequate (understand there is a new building coming soon).
Later in the afternoon, I had the chance to sit in on a Marketing class by Mark Ritson, who I now know is quite a rockstar prof. in the marketing/branding world. It was a video case on Levis that day so he didn't talk as much but I definitely got a sense of how good he is. There were actually almost a dozen students not enrolled in the class who sat in the back and in the aisles just to soak up his expertise. Overall, I definitely had a good impression of Sloan. The students were very professional and I could feel a sense of energy in them. Good luck to all the R1 applicants, I'm slowly getting started on mine since the LGO deadline isn't until Dec.
