Why I Chose the W. P. Carey MBA
by Matt Meads

I always knew I wanted to get a master’s — I just didn’t know when or how, or what I was going to do it in. My first job after my undergrad was with a Fortune 500 company in a three-year rotational manufacturing leadership development program. It was designed to put me on track to have a successful manufacturing engineer career.

However, I quickly realized — like many do once they get out into the workforce — it wasn’t what I expected and it left me longing for more. In my second year of the development program I was introduced to supply chain and it ignited something inside me that made me realize exactly what I wanted to get my master’s in. I became set on getting my MBA with an emphasis in supply chain management.

I still didn’t know how or where I was going to get my MBA. I started to research the best business schools that offered supply chain as an emphasis and ASU’s W. P. Carey School of Business kept popping up wherever I looked. There were a few specifics about W. P. Carey’s MBA program that stuck out: Its #3 ranking in supply chain, the affordability for out-of-state tuition, the smaller class size, and the 90% job placement after graduation.

I applied and was accepted, but still was looking at some other schools that had accepted me as well, when I was invited to Countdown. Countdown is an event for prospective students that have been accepted to the MBA program that helps them see if they’re a good fit for the school and vice versa. I had visited other campuses and done a few other similar activities, but nothing compared to Countdown. I was overwhelmed with how friendly and informative every staff member, professor, and current student was. I met other prospective students and talked to them about why they were considering the school. After that weekend, I knew I wanted to associate myself with an institution like the W. P. Carey School.

Now that I am here and have the first month or so behind me, I can honestly say it has lived up to the hype. So far the school has had four major companies come to campus for info sessions, a full day supply chain-specific career fairs and several professional and alumni panels. I have been assigned an executive coach to mentor me on career development, and Intel, Amazon, and Disney have already interviewed me for a summer internship.

It’s only been four weeks and I am confident that ASU and the W. P. Carey School were the right choices and will help me achieve my career goals.

Hi... Has anyone completed W.P.Carey interview

I've been accepted for an interview as well. I'd like to know more about the interview process if anyone has any insight (i.e. blind interview? student interview? etc.)

10 Reasons To Consider a W. P. Carey MBA
by Matt Rezmovits

Figuring out what school is the right fit for you and offers you the best chance to succeed after you earn your MBA is not as easy as just looking at a list of rankings. Do you want a huge class or a small one? Is location important to you? Is the MBA program you have your heart set on able to get you where you need to be? For me, the choice was the W. P. Carey MBA. And it was the right choice. Here are just 10 of the reasons why.

10. The City
Phoenix is a great place to get an MBA. It’s the 6th largest metro area in the country and there is plenty to do here year-round. If you’re a sports fan, there’s spring training baseball and the Diamondbacks, plus the Suns, Coyotes, and Cardinals. And the Phoenix Open is the largest PGA tour event year in and year out. As big as Phoenix is, though, nearly everything mysteriously seems to be under 20 – 30 minutes from each other: Downtown Phoenix is 10 miles from campus, which is five miles away from Scottsdale, which is maybe 15 minutes from North Phoenix. And if you want to get out of town you’re only a few hours from Tucson, the Grand Canyon, Las Vegas or Flagstaff.

9. The Faculty
Learn from the experts. W. P. Carey is a powerhouse research facility. Last year alone, Technovation ranked W. P. Carey number one in the world for research in high-impact journals, and a study by Texas A&M and the University of Florida ranked our Department of Management and Entrepreneurship as the top research school in the nation.

8. The ROI
Because the W. P. Carey MBA is more affordable than many other top-ranked programs (with the lowest in-state tuition and one of the three lowest out-of-state tuition rates among the Top 30 U.S. News schools) and because the starting salaries for our Full-time graduates are so competitive, an MBA from the W. P. Carey School has value now and down the line.

7. The Graduate Career Center
Career management services and resources at W. P. Carey are outstanding. Every student here is given the tools to realize their career dreams, and it really does start before you take your first class.

6. The Attention
W. P. Carey has the smallest class of any school in the U.S. News Top 30. Where that becomes really important to you is the connections you make. The faculty are always there to help you and don’t just lecture, the staff gives you personalized attention and really gets to know you, and of course, your classmates are going to be with you in class and in teams for the next two years. It’s great to have people you can really lean on in an MBA program, and a big part of that is just having more face time with everybody here.

5. The Weather
Phoenix has more sunny days each season than Seattle gets all year. From December to April, there is no better place to be in the country. Sure, the summers are almost comically hot, but you’ll make that trade for 68 degrees in January.

4. The Building
The new business building is brilliantly functional, and offers students a unique place to not only learn, but meet with recruiters, unwind, and take advantage of a range of student services. Trust me, once you’ve visited McCord Hall, you’ll never want to leave.

3. The Experience
Have the experience of a lifetime: outreach trips are offered around the world, compete with the top business students in the country in case competitions, lead a team or group – the opportunities are endless.

2. The Students
The MBA class is as diverse and talented as any in the country. I’m in class with dual degree med students, veterans, entrepreneurs, athletes, and engineers from all around the world. If you can get in here, you’ll be in good company.

1. The Opportunity
The world’s top companies come to you. This year Amazon, Apple, Intel, Nike, and Johnson & Johnson will all hire W. P. Carey students.

Writing from Spain, will have my interview on the 25th.... wish me luck!

Guys anyone interviewed yet?

Kindly share your experience.


Miguel.. all the best!

Submitted by 2nd Oct. However, Carey required official hard copy of transcript. So I managed to get the copies from my university and send them via mail to Carey. It seems they only received the copies around 20th. I have wrote email to AO and she said already moved my application to the committee. So I have to wait for an interview.
It seems everyone received interview at different time. So early decision is a rolling based round?

Does anyone know why Carey can provide full tuition scholarship to every admitted MBA student? It sounds not so logical.
Are there any other MBA schools can do so?

Here is the answer to your query: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TXl34AgF84

Just scheduled my interview on 16th, Nov.
Does anyone know whether they will make decisions on 1st, Dec altogether or this is a rolling based round, like they will send out offers a few days after the interview?
