Not sure yet. If you don't mind me asking, what schools did you choose UCSD over?

Hey cyrez8, congrats on the acceptance and the $$$! I've met a handful of the admits, and they seem like a solid group. I'll have a clearer picture at admit day, when I get to see everyone together in action. Will you be attending?

Hi Ryan, I am considering whether to throw my hat in for the Fall 2010 intake or to apply early for the 2011 intake...

My profile in a nutshell is:
GMAT: 710
GPA: Average (Converts to about 3.2)
Work Ex: 5 yrs, consulting experience as a project manager with various big names across the country, spent about 2 yrs working in other countries (India, UAE) and now lookin for an MBA program that can help take me to the next level...

A big $$$ :) a school can offer is an important factor for me and was wondering if its too late in the game for UCSD... any suggestions?

Thanks!!

I think you have a great shot at a fellowship offer.

Hey Ryan,
Combing the internet for information and with the interview filling in the blanks, I have found that Rady has a very innovative and promising MBA program. I have been put on the wait list, the file scheduled for a review again later in the month.

Is there anything I can do to improve my chances of getting admitted to Rady?

Thank you.

Hi All,

I just received an interview from UCSD and was wondering if you guys could share your experiences during the interview. What kind of questions (worst/interesting questions)? What are the interviewers like (I know they are admission members)? friendly or not?

Thanks so much for your help!
