FROM Booth Evening and Weekend MBA Admissions Blog: Radio Guy is Thriving at Booth’s Evening MBA Program

When Michael Slykas shows up for class at 6 pm, he’s already had a full day. As executive producer of the morning show at the Chicago radio station 103.5 KISS FM, he’s up at 3:30 am, selecting discussion topics for the hosts and broadcasting news, traffic, and weather.

The job—and his upside-down schedule-- is a sharp contrast to the workstyles of his colleagues in Booth’s Evening MBA Program who come from careers in consulting, finance, and marketing. Yet though he’s a nontraditional student at Booth, Slykas has thrived.

“At first I felt like I jumped into the deep end,” recalled Slykas, who began the program in fall 2015. He devoted an extra study hour or two to each of his courses and developed his own dictionary of key business terms.

More than nine months in, he’s co-chair of the Marketing Club and his strong GPA landed him on the Dean’s List. “It’s very possible to not only catch up, but to excel in some quant-heavy courses,” he said. “I feel comfortable and that I belong.”

A native of Naperville, Illinois, Slykas initially planned to pursue a career in biomedical engineering. During college one of his friends worked at the dorm’s radio station. “I followed him to his shift, got to be behind the mic and just loved it,” he recalled. He started at KISS as an intern, worked the Saturday overnight shift, and created commercials.

A few years in, he realized that what he enjoyed most about broadcasting was absorbing information quickly, gaining expertise and then conveying the message concisely so that members of a diverse audience can understand. He also enjoyed working with talent consultants and using data to analyze programming—what topics, for example, were resonating with listeners.

That evolving interest in analytics convinced him to pivot to a business career. He determined that a Booth MBA would be the best way to land a job in consulting.

Now that he’s adjusted to the pace and demands of school, he finds he’s not so different after all. Students bring their own strengths and support each other, he noted. Slykas recently participated in a business case competition and “there were four of us from four different countries and four different industries,” he said. “I could embrace that someone else knew more about something than me but I knew more about some things than the others.” Each member, he said, “brought something different to the table.”

Slykas said he would encourage prospective students from outside traditional business disciplines to consider applying to one of the MBA programs. “Don’t be intimidated, know your own strength,” he said. “You add value at Booth.”

FROM Booth Evening and Weekend MBA Admissions Blog: Making the Most of Informational Events

It may be intimidating to some, and exciting to others, but networking plays a large role for prospective students looking to discover MBA programs. Having the opportunity to talk with current students about their work-life balance, favorite classes, and shenanigans at the Midway Club go an extremely long way in helping determine if business school is right for you, but also if Booth is the right place for you. Were it not for the events I attended, it is tough to say whether I would have gone forward with the GMAT, admissions interview, and countless late nights perfecting my essays, however, Booth’s exploratory events provided me with the clarity I needed to answer many lingering questions. Whether you are set on getting your MBA, dealing with a mid-career crisis, or just looking to learn more, I hope these tips help to better inform you on your MBA discovery.

Tip #1: Show Up!

After a long day at work, it can be difficult to muster the energy to make it to a networking event, but trust me when I say that you won’t regret it. You will be surprised to learn how well info sessions, dinners, and specialized recruitment events cater to those working full-time. The discussions are extremely pertinent to the questions you have, they do not take up the entire evening, and the Wolfgang Puck catering is better than anything you’ll microwave at home. Whether or not you have questions to ask coming in, you will find that the information you gather will be valuable. Knowledge is power...and at Booth, it comes with dessert.

Tip #2: Keep it Casual, but Professional

We’ve all been in that situation where we want to leave a great first impression at a networking function, especially one as important as an MBA recruitment event, however, you’ll learn fast that there’s no one you need to impress. Current students and the Admissions team are not concerned with every accolade on your resume, but rather they want to learn more about your goals and passions. They are not job interviewers, but rather a valuable resource at your disposal. We have a very transparent and open culture here at Booth, and from your first few minutes inside of Gleacher, you will understand that this is an environment where you can be yourself.

Tip #3: Get to Know Your Fellow Prospective Students

Meeting new people with common interests can be tough, but take advantage of getting to know the fellow event attendees. You all already have something unique in common by way of being at the same MBA event, so use it as an opportunity to learn about someone new. Some may say that our similar interests bring us to Gleacher, but our differences are what truly make Booth special. And who knows? That person you say “hello” to at your first event may very well be someone you see in the classroom in the very near future...and in my case, that person is my study partner two and a half years later!

Tip #4: Leave With a Next Step

Whether you are at the event twenty minutes or two hours, make sure that you leave with a better understanding of your next steps. From committing to following up with an Admissions Team member for more information or finally hitting send on your application, it is important that you leave Gleacher with an action item that you can confidently move forward with. Even if you come to the determination that the time is not right for your MBA, it’s better to know that with certainty than to have it linger. If I learned anything from my Managerial Decision Making course this quarter, it is that we cannot make informed judgments without proper information, so don’t let any barriers get in the way of receiving the info you need!

FROM Booth Evening and Weekend MBA Admissions Blog: In Real Life ("IRL") with Cleo Miller

As a prospective student, have you ever wondered how you can apply what you will learn at Booth in real life (“IRL”)? These students share how they have taken their valuable classroom experiences and applied these lessons to make a real impact in real life.

Statistics and modeling can seem intimidating, especially to those of us who aren’t naturally quantitative (these people exist at Booth, including your writer!). Fear certainly didn’t stop Cleo Miller from conquering stats and using it to benefit her work in real life.

Cleo Miller (‘17) enrolled in Professor Polson’s introductory statistics course without a strong background in statistics or R, the statistical platform the class requires students to learn. She admits, “I was kind of nervous about the class, [as the professor] forces you to use R and makes it possible for you to get your feet wet with it.”

After she got her feet wet with R through the class, Cleo fearlessly dove into the R deep-end in real life. At work, she needed to work on a large statistical analysis that needed to be easily digestible. Thanks to learning R in class, Cleo conquered this challenge.

“Because I was forced to be exposed to something I wasn’t comfortable with, [learning R] helped me grow in a way I never would have expected. It gave me a real problem solving tool that I wouldn’t have known about or have been comfortable using,” Cleo says.

Thanks to her time in the classroom, Cleo can use this platform to analyze anything to turn it into anything – including interactive maps, graphs, predictions, and more. She got exposure to a new idea that she may never have been able to find.

“I needed someone to push me in that direction to say that there are statistical tools out there. I can use Excel, but it never would have occurred to me to go outside of Excel. There’s so much out there, and Booth can really help push you in the right direction in ways that you can’t even predict.”

To Cleo, this example testifies to why she wanted to come to Booth. As a naturally qualitative person, Cleo bravely went to Booth to develop her quantitative skills. Clearly, she’s successfully doing just that.

“I want to learn how to use tools and think about ways to solve problems that I never otherwise would have been exposed to or known how to find,” she says. “It has broadened my horizons about what is out there in the world of stats and applied mathematics.”

When Cleo isn’t developing her quantitative skills, you can find her leading the Graduate Women in Business (GWB) group. She has learned many qualitative lessons about leadership as the group’s president. “The biggest lesson I’ve taken away is that it really is all about the team you’re working on and encouraging them to be their best,” Cleo says. “The lessons I’ve gotten from GWB are all about leadership through teamwork.”

Cleo’s story highlights that at Booth, students are challenged both qualitatively and quantitatively. Along that journey, students have amazing learning experiences. As Cleo says about her Booth experience to date: “So far, so great.”
