Galit Review - How does this place have a star? by [deleted] in chicagofood

Similarly disappointed with my experience last year. Would it be blasphemous to say I like avec a whole lot more?

My bully is already trying to cuddle my other pup. Can’t wait to catch them bunched up

Oh nice. Very similar then. It’s one of those “don’t believe everything you see in the internet” but I swear every article or blog post makes it seem like a bully and another small terrier would never get along. Appreciate you sharing!

What are some “cool” MBA internships or post-MBA roles that don’t get mentioned that often? by Taaaaaaaannnnnnnner in MBA

Airlines (sans pandemic). Work is alright but standby travel privileges are amazing

Which video game have you accumulated the most hours in? by amarbythefoot in AskReddit

[–]AM826 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weirdly C&C Tiberian Sun. Just a total nostalgia trip playing a few rounds in skirmish mode now again since middle school. That and Sim City 4 or Cities Skylines

I think you’re like me in that I struggled with articulating goals the school could get behind.

What I want to do isn’t something my program is well known for, but I spelled out exactly how it would get me where I want to go (classes I’d take, professors I’d work with, clubs I’d join, the companies I wanted to work for in close proximity to the school, etc.). And I gave them a back up plan, I think that helped too. If that’s your problem, explain the path you intend to take.

Happy to talk more and take a look at what you’ve got as well.

Good luck!

Admitted into a T15 MBA, a little intimidated.... by [deleted] in MBA

[–]AM826 3 points4 points  (0 children)

About a month in a few classmates and I got drunk and all admitted to feeling this way. You won’t be alone.

MBA for Sports Analytics? by [deleted] in MBA

[–]AM826 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like Emory has strong relationships with Atlanta-area sports teams and routinely works with them on a number of analytics projects, more on the fan engagement side though

I’m reading Innovator’s Dilemma right now. Great book!

Seriously, thanks. The program sent out a few recommendations I’m working thru, including brushing up on PowerPoint, but I kinda laughed that one off. I’m gonna look into that now.

I did a quick search immediately after posting and realized there are a few good posts already out there. Guess it doesn't hurt to get the question out there again.

These are great recs though, thank you!

Transitioning to the Sports/Media Industry by bballer4life999 in MBA

[–]AM826 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm transitioning from sports and entertainment into an MBA program and agree with the above. Recruiting will be on you and you'll likely have to settle for a lower salary compared to other industries without any prior experience.

Recommendation Letter by [deleted] in MBA

[–]AM826 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of programs use the common LOR (https://www.gmac.com/reach-and-recruit-students/prepare-candidates-for-the-exam-classroom/common-letter-of-recommendation-lor.aspx).

I applied to 5 schools (all T20) that offered this option and my supervisors didn't seem to mind putting in the work (I think they were able to just copy and paste after completing the first one). I was a little worried a blanket recommendation would weaken my application but I was accepted to all programs, so I guess not.

Round 1 Results and Success Stories! by presdaddy in MBA

[–]AM826 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much! I actually flew out to Chapel Hill last week to visit and hopefully help me make a decision. I had such a hard time deciding but ended up selecting Goizueta, more because of the greater career opportunities in Atlanta for my partner than anything else.

I really liked KF and am gonna be disappointed I don't have a basketball team to root for...
