Rady (UCSD) Class of 2016 Calling all applicants!

Congrats! It looks like you have been accepted into the program. Can you give some tips regarding the interview process and what they seem to be looking for in potential applicants.

I am a matriculating student, anyone else going? Let's keep in touch!

Hi, I applied in R2 and I've an interview with Sherry Hu in a few days time.

Anyone who has taken it already?

Hello! I applied R2 and have an upcoming interview with Rady. Does anyone have and helpful interview tips?
I'm also attending the preview day on the 9th.

stephdavid6: When do you have your interview ? And with whom? Looks like no one is here who can update us about their interview experience.

Steinbeck My interview is with Sherry Hu as well. Have you had your interview yet?
I can't believe that this thread is so empty!

stephdavid6: Yes, I did it with her. She is definitely good to talk to. My interview lasted for 77 minutes and after 30 minutes it looked like I am talking to my friend telling her about what I have so far done in my life and what I plan to do. She did asked some behavioral questions but I was good. Because of the fact that I was comfortable, I responded well to the questions and I am expecting a convert.

I got my decision today and I've received an admit from the school.

Hi Keats,

I have also been admitted for full time MBA program at UCSD but have not received any scholarship details from the school.

Have you received any details?

Rajan Agrawal

Hello rajsinghal71

I received the scholarship details along with the official communication mail sent by the Admissions Team. Don't worry. They usually send this e mail few days after you get to know your status online on the portal.

Thank you so much Keats for sharing the info. I hope you have received a good amount of scholarship as the school has received a great amount of fund from its Founding member.

Will you be joining Rady this year?



Regards,
Rajan

I'm still evaluating. Since I've a few better options, it seems that I might not end up studying at Rady.

I had an interview with Sherry today. She was very friendly, and it was very conversational. It lasted an hour. Questions included the typical take me through your resume, why MBA, why now, why Rady, what do you plan on doing after graduating, strengths and weaknesses, an ethical dilemma you faced at work, most impactful project at work, professional accomplishment you're proud, what do you know about San Diego, tell me about your volunteering experiences, are you part of any professional organization, do you read any business publications. I am personally very keen on Rady, and would really appreciate inputs and insight from current students or applicants. Thanks.
