We’ll discuss how top programs in these regions differ in terms of career opportunities, international exposure, location, and post-MBA prospects, and what applicants should consider when building a well-balanced global MBA shortlist.
Hi, everyone.
For the ladies in the house, this is a great event that lots of GMATClubbers have attended over the years. I couldn't go as an applicant (I procrastinated too much to make any of these things!), but was involved as a student. Application deadline 11-2-09.

I wonder how many people apply every year. Saw it on Facebook too, so it's probably fairly popular.
Did anyone hear back yet, re: Weekend for Women?
I haven't. Got an automated email saying: "you will be notified of your status by November 9, 2009 at 5:00 p.m. EST."
I'm assuming they'll release the results that day.

Hi, ladies. I hope that you all hear good news on Monday!
Just wanted to say that yes, the event is very popular. They grew it quite a bit last year just to accomodate all the interest. I think about 50% of applicants were accepted last year. And if you don't get accepted, don't NOT apply to Duke! It really is an over-subscribed event.
AND I'm excited to say that I will be attending my 3rd W4W this year! Just got the approval from work to attend as an alum, so hope to meet you there.

I have applied for the event several weeks ago and I am still waiting. Their web site says only 80 women will be invited, that doesn't sound like a large number to me. Are you implying that last year there were less than 80 women attending?
Has anyone heard anything yet? They were supposed to release the results by 5pm EST today.

Nothing yet here either!
it's 5:18EST and I am checing my mailbox obsessively. Nothing yet. Sigh...
I haven't heard anything either -- and it's 6:08pm EST.
UPDATE -- I just received the status -- looks like I will be there in December! (6:10pm EST)

Congrats - you will have so much fun. FYI, last year there were about 100 women there.

Ladies: should I apply for an interview during W4W event or not?
I don't even have GMAT score yet! I will take the test in few weeks and plan to apply in R3 in January. Right now, I am all about GMAT, so by the time I attend W4W I will have that and my resume and no essays. Although, I do know what I want to do, i.e. I have the story in my head.
I am thinking that I should probably take advantage of the interview now, instead of bitting my fingers and waiting for the invite. I can also consult with adcom, I think that is cool too.
I'm local candidate, so travel is not an issue for me.

The files are in Word 2007 format. If you have Office 2003, go to Microsoft web site and download a plug-in that will enable you to view new formats.
look forward to seeing you all in December

What did you all think about the weekend event? I though that:
- the event was absolutely fabulous and costly
- Admission officers spent a lot of time mingling with perspective candidates. At times if felt like a day long interview, which can be only a huge advantage over people that had only regular interview with 2nd year students.
- Serious overrepresentation of brand marketing people, an area that I couldn't care less about.
- good food
- on the average, younger candidates, not so many women from diverse background

I had an amazing time. I agree, it was like a 3-day interview; though I didn't really have a lot of contact with the admissions staff. The second year students that were directing the event were mostly marketing students, but I did randomly find a second year student who had the exact same long-term career goal as I do (something that is fairly obscure for Duke). The prospective students on the whole were great women - I disagree though, I think the backgrounds were incredibly diverse - most of the women I met were "non-traditional" applicants like myself. Very few from finance and consulting.
Overall, I did fall in love with the school and the program. I wish I would have applied in an earlier round!
