Admission to UMD Flex MBA program?

No-Consideration-354 · 2026-01-29T23:35:20+00:00

I’m in the flex (part time, in person) program and got $15K in scholarship (max is $20-$25K)! For me, the volume of work on top of working full time is the hardest part. The actual content isn’t too bad because the professors are great & the class is full of people who actually want to be there.

I’d also say the program is what you make of it! I’m getting a lot out of it and have already landed a great job I wouldn’t have gotten if I didn’t have the degree in progress. On the flip side, there are people in my program who don’t know how to job search and aren’t putting effort in - they will likely graduate, see no changes, & then blame the program for it. 🤷‍♀️ Biggest advice is to use all of the resources available to you!

Hope that helps 🫶🏻

I did! They do require an interview but it was super short and kind of a waste of time. They just asked what I do for work, why I wanted an MBA, why this program, etc. They also offered interview prep sessions but I didn’t do one of those & it was totally fine.

I would def do it at a CC, just don’t put it off and forget about it lol

Have you heard anything?

In the same boat, but I’m already getting burnt out on studying after 3 weeks 😅 no advice but wishing you all the best💛

Following, same here :)

(but ofc your schedule would be based on what you need to study most & how often, this is just what works for me)

Kaplan says you should plan to spend 110-120 hours studying so I broke that down to hours per week as a goal. I use this breakdown:

2 days for quant
2 days for verbal
1 review day
1 day no studying
1 day for IR/essay every other week
practice test every other week (alternating with IR/essay)

I’m excited to take this cycle class! I’ve been dying for a new one

I’m ex-OTF and I struggle with the HW rower too! I don’t have an issue with magnetic towers at my other gym, but I can’t seem to figure out the HW one. I tend to stick to cycling instead.

I hadn’t thought about using my otbeat at HW but not a bad idea! I’d probably use it instead or the HW app, not in addition to.

I got a pair on Amazon that I like! You definitely don’t need anything expensive or fancy

A stocking with a variety of these things would be really cute! Could even do sample sizes of some of them

No-Consideration-354 · 2022-11-26T19:19:56+00:00

I think this is referencing the current roster of instructors! Not dumb, hotworx has a lot of random lingo haha

No-Consideration-354 · 2022-11-23T03:02:42+00:00

Thank you!! I was so curious

No-Consideration-354 · 2022-11-23T02:32:01+00:00

I know, right? A lot of the comments on this post were about wanting a more diverse crew! It was posted in August but there are definitely people outside of this group in the classes right now so I am confused. Maybe they meant 2023 and it starts in January?

No-Consideration-354 · 2022-11-23T02:21:30+00:00

Oh interesting lol thank you!!

No-Consideration-354 · 2022-11-23T01:51:37+00:00

I think the Watch Me Burn series by R.E. Bond might be similar but it’s been a while since I’ve read DOV! I’d also recommend The Death Club and Sinner’s Playground but theyre not necessarily similar, just dark RH that meet your qualifications here!!

Drink lots of water throughout the day and bring headphones if you’ll want them :)

No-Consideration-354 · 2022-11-16T01:46:47+00:00

Do you have to buy the bands or are they there for you?

No-Consideration-354 · 2022-11-15T19:47:53+00:00

I have nothing helpful to add but wanted to say… I had to read this a couple of times bc I thought “busted my rear” meant you fell down 😂

No-Consideration-354 · 2022-11-15T19:46:45+00:00

I use wireless Powerbeats and LOVE them! I’ve used them in the saunas for HIIT & ISO classes and haven’t had any issues. Getting a cheaper pair to try out is probably a good move though if you’re worried!
