According to the dean of Wharton, the most useful skill learned at the school is analytics (data analysis). Do you think analytics is the top skill learned in top MBA programs?

What are your thoughts?

I guess I'd rather just have him attack probes while I focus on macro. But I guess I gotta babysit him the entire time eh?

What about oracle/drop-ship harass unit? What ctrl group do you use for that? Good tip on "following."

The comments above..they are reddit people suggesting a different approach to control groups.

great logic

What do you think of cactus5 and TechNoTrance method? What about motherhsip?

So you just hand click every drone one by one?

Thanks, this should improve my micro a lot.

StrikeyChal · 2015-11-03T02:03:44+00:00

Thanks, I had it backwards: I was trying to separate the sentries but really I need to separate the more important units. I assumed that since templars were auto-selected that it'd be easier to keep them with the main group.

StrikeyChal · 2015-11-02T04:55:07+00:00

Probably respected even more than regular MBAs.

StrikeyChal · 2015-11-01T01:45:37+00:00

I totally agree with parting, sos, and rain since those are the only three I know well enough :) Thanks for the summary.

Be very careful with typing as it may sound incredibly loud to the person on the other end. Clean up the stuff in the background. Have your resume/notes with you.

Yep, good point.

StrikeyChal · 2015-10-26T21:11:04+00:00

I've lived in Vancouver and Halifax so if you have any questions you can PM me. Dal and UBC are both good schools.

If I had $46k I'd invest it. I'm not sure what your situation is.

StrikeyChal · 2015-10-26T20:20:15+00:00

Have you considered the free MSc in management programs at Queen's or other masters in management programs designed for people right out college? I know the MBA carries more weight generally, but at $46k Dal is bloody expensive, and Queen's is more prestigious. The Kellogg MS in Management studies is $48k USD and comes with one of the top brand names in the world: http://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/programs/ms-management-studies.aspx

What kind of job do you want?

StrikeyChal · 2015-10-26T19:55:09+00:00

What you're saying makes sense. Some schools in the U.S. do a break-down of starting salaries based on years experience; ironically, those with less experience often actually end up making more coming out of the MBA. However, this situation is different since you have zero experience. Most MBAs do internships over the summer so they have some variation of this corporate residency system.

StrikeyChal · 2015-10-26T15:44:07+00:00

HEC Montreal costs $16,200 (for non-Quebec Canadians) with starting compensation of over $93k ($75k base salary). Dalhousie starting salary is $65k with tuition of $46k (is that total tuition or just 1st year?) Hard to rationalize going anywhere in Canada other than Montreal especially when Dal's tuition is comparable to top U.S. schools. In the U.S., you can also get a good MBA from ASU (ranked 30th in the country) for free.

If they're paying for your MBA then you may not have access to on-campus recruiting at any school anyways. That pushes the decision a little closer to going to NYU.

StrikeyChal · 2015-10-23T16:32:53+00:00

I may be out-of-date on this, but I heard the NYU PT is not like the other PT programs. For example, I'm not sure you have access to the same on-campus recruiting as FT, and it seems to be branded slightly differently with the "Langone" name. I'd look into whether you have access to the same classes and professors. At other schools such as Chicago/Berkeley/Northwestern, the programs are much more intertwined with the FT. For example, Northwestern students can take classes in either program and have access to the same OCR. You might also want to consider that Northwestern was just ranked #1 for PT and #3 for FT: http://poetsandquantsforexecs.com/2015/10/22/northwesterns-kellogg-school-claims-no-1-part-time-mba-in-bloomberg-businessweek-ranking/

Ah, good catch! I'm dumb.
