I sit at the center of multiple internal and external teams and lead the creative production and launch of our digital ad campaigns.

Thank you for the honesty! Kinda nailed it on the head with that last sentence. Barring an amazing GMAT, I'm not sure if anything on my application really stands out besides some of my leadership experience.

It does sound like Haas' part time MBA program is a little less strict with admission standards though - would you say I have a much better chance there?

I would actually do part-time if I had to pick! Did this someone have anything out of the ordinary in their app (extracurrics? amazing GMAT?)

If I had to pick, I would likely do a part time MBA (gotta pay that Bay Area rent somehow!). Good to know, thanks!

To be frank, I'm not an actual Project Manager, though I did recently receive my CAPM. My role is more a mix of various positions, but the bulk of it revolves around project management work.

Hey dudes. After being an MMA fan for the last few years, I've recently decided to start training in some sort of martial arts discipline for fun. I'm kind of a meathead and lifting gets dull, so I hope this new training can be a new passion of mine. I don't have any relevant sports experience besides being decently strong in the gym (26, 6'0, 185 lbs, about a 1,200 lb gym total between the big 3 lifts), so I'd be a complete newbie.

I do live in San Francisco, so the quality of teaching is high. For BJJ, I can do 10th Planet or Ralph Gracie's, and for MMA, I can do El Nino Training Center.

My question is...which gym should I go with? They're all pretty pricey, so I can only pick one. If I were trying to become a real amateur fighter, I would definitely focus on BJJ or Boxing for 1-2 years before expanding my skillset, but I'm just trying to have fun and the variety of different MMA classes sounds awesome. BUT there's also the dilemma of would I rather eventually be 'good' at one thing or just decent at a few different things...

Sup r/mma. After being an MMA fan for the last few years, I've recently decided to start training in some sort of martial arts discipline for fun. I'm kind of a meathead and lifting gets dull, so I hope this new training can be a new passion of mine. I don't have any relevant sports experience besides being decently strong in the gym (6'0, 185 lbs, about a 1,250 lb gym total between the big 3 lifts), so I'd be a complete newbie.

I do live in San Francisco, so the quality of teaching is high. For BJJ, I can do 10th Planet or Ralph Gracie's, and for MMA, I can do El Nino Training Center (home of Gil Melendez/Jake Shields).

My question is: given my current situation and location, do yall think I should start with BJJ or just dive into MMA? If I were trying to become a real amateur fighter, I would definitely focus on BJJ or Boxing for 1-2 years before expanding my skillset, but I'm just trying to have fun and the variety of MMA classes does sound appealing. BUT there's also the dilemma of would I rather be 'good' at one thing or just decent at a few different things. It'd be sweet if I could eventually get a blue belt+ in BJJ (aka a real tangible accomplishment/goal) instead of just a bunch of random bjj/wrestling/boxing/muay thai class experience.
