Hi Sara, I think Haas would be a great place. Berkeley is a haven for all things sustainable.

I think Ross has a great program for it as well. They have a dual degree program with the School of Natural Resources that you might find interesting.

Disclaimer: I am not a student there so this is an unbiased post :-D

Thank you all so much for your warm welcome and input! You have been very helpful and informative.

I looked at all the programs mentioned and I am leaning heavily toward the programs at Berkeley and Yale. Now it's time to do test prep!

Maybe I'll see some of you in another thread.

Warm Regards,
Sarah

Hey Sarah,

We're in a similar boats. I'm a public school teacher applying to go into social entrepreneurship/non-profit.

Yale, Michigan, and Kellogg all have great programs. NYU is just getting started with social entrepreneurship, since they are traditionally known as a finance school, but I was impressed with what they have going on there when I went on a tour.

Hey Leverandon,

Thanks for the tips. Where do you teach? Where are you in the app process?

Hey Leverandon,

Thanks for the tips. Where do you teach? Where are you in the app process?

Hey Sarah,

I teach at the Harlem Children's Zone Promise Academy II as a Teach for America teacher. Its a charter school in Harlem. We actually had a book published about our program a few weeks ago by a New York Times writer. Its called Whatever it Takes by Paul Tough. I was in no way a part of the book and we didn't even realize it was coming out until our principal told us. Its a pretty good read and a fair look at the challenges of teaching in Harlem.

I applied to five schools during Round 1 of the application season: Michigan (Ross), Yale SOM, Northwestern (Kellogg), Pennsylvania (Wharton), and Virginia (Darden). I'm going for a JD/MBA so I was looking for schools that had top 14 law programs attached to them. I will also be applying to Columbia Round 1 (their R1 is a lot later than the rest). So far, I received an interview invite at Michigan, a rejection with no interview ( :cry: ) from Wharton and everyone gets an interview from Kellogg. I have yet to hear anything from Yale and Darden. For Round 2 I plan to apply to NYU (Stern) and Chicago (Booth). I may throw in an app to Harvard and UCLA depending on how industrious I am feeling and what happens with my Round 1 schools.

Have you taken the GMAT yet? Are you looking to begin business school in Fall '09 or are you planning on applying during the following season? Hope that this helps!
