Hi I'm thinking about applying as well.
Could you please share how did go yesterday?

Thanks!

Thanks so much for sharing. That's what I'm worried as well as not sure if my experience is up to the standard of the EMBA class. Do you still plan to apply post visit?

Haha gotcha! good luck!

You need to set up your own interview - it is required as part of the application. Before doing so, you're advised to set up a 15-minute "phone chat" with someone from admissions. During that discussion, you can ask questions about your candidacy or the program. I've found admissions to be more of an open book when compared to the admissions team for the full-time program. The whole phone chat and interview process is very casual. It's much more conversational than the full-time interview process (and obviously lacks the TBD aspect).

I'd advise you to make sure your resume is "bschool-ready" because you're required to submit it when setting up your phone chat and you don't want to submit a different one with your application.

How did it go? Any tips you can share?

Interesting - with whom did you interview if you don't mind my asking?

I went on a Friday and they suggested I spend the day there. My interview was not until 3pm so I attended a full morning class, then lunch with adcom and a couple alums, and half of an afternoon class. My interview only lasted about 30 minutes. I wonder if you were just a lot more interesting than I am...

PS - I see you're from NJ. I lived in the state up until about three years ago when I moved to the Greater Philadelphia Area (on the PA side of the river).

I find that a little disconcerting. While I had my phone chat with one admissions counselor, I actually had lunch with and eventually interviewed with Diane Sharp. I'm going to frame it optimistically and say she probably has more on her plate so she does shorter interviews...

Hi everyone. Anyone else applying for the SF campus?

@kylebecker

I am considering applying for the SF program for round 2. I have a little under 8 years of FT work experience and they want your company to financially support your MBA if that is the case.

Question to everyone:
Would it be useful to do this EMBA program if you have under 8 years experience? It seems as if the class profile has an average of 10-12 years exp. I am also looking for a career switch from Biotech R&D to Business development/product development, does this program include enough coursework and networking/alumni support for such a career switch?
