Hi all,
Thanks for reading this in advance. I've been admitted to both the UCLA FEMBA program and USC's PM MBA. I've gotten similar scholarships for both schools, and live about 2 hours south of USC, and 2.5 hours south of UCLA. My background is in consumer products in beverage alcohol working in a start up. My goal post MBA is to start my own brand in my current industry, so I'm really looking for entrepreneurial guidance and a larger network in the Southern California region as my focus for my brand will be regional. I've looked at the Financial Times guide for Entrepreneurship and it ranks the schools neck and neck, and from what I can tell they both offer similar opportunities for entrepreneurs. If you have any insights on the FEMBA flex program or USC's PM program about your experience or a friends, I'd appreciate it!
