Haas is definitely my first choice of schools. I'm in biotech in the Bay area. I have 6 years of tech and biotech experience, a BS in engineering, and an MS in biology. I have some questions for the forum about the MBA/MPH program.
Is the MBA/MPH program any harder or easier to get into than the MBA program?
Is the dual degree option more valuable to biotech companies?
Am I going to seem a little ridiculous for getting an MPH after completing an MS in biology? (They're not really the same topics, but I'm more concerned with perceptions.)
I would hate to blow my shot at my first choice school by going for a program that might not want me. I think that I'll be going to b-school regardless in 2011, so I can't really afford to apply to the MBA/MPH program this year, get rejected, and reapply to the main program next year.
Any guidance, forum members?

Typically dual degree candidates need to be accepted into both programs in order to do the dual degree. However, applying for dual degree will not lower your chance in admissions into MPH or MBA. In another word, if you don't get in to MPH and get into MBA, you'll can still go to Haas for the MBA.
I don't know how much value a MPH/MBA adds if you want to go into the biotech sector. MBA should be enough, especially since you have biotech background. One thing you want to verify is that the biotech company's actively recruit out of Haas.
This is going to be a shameless promotion of Duke-Fuqua. Duke has one of the best healthcare MBA programs in the country/world. You can check out the Health Sector Management program on the website. Biotech companies actively recruit here. I hear Wharton also has a healthcare concentration and is well reputed as well.
