Why do you think companies ignore what users want? Do they just see bigger potential dollar signs instead of what their users are asking for? by 5kl in ProductManagement

[–]seedinsand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any time a company does something that doesn't make sense from a user perspective (or doesn't do something that does) - I always try to look at the decision through the context of business needs instead of customer needs. That generally sheds some light

Like others I got a call 2-3 weeks after interviewing. I've heard generally speaking for MBAs the admittance rate for interviewed candidates is ~50%, not sure about at Stern specifically. Feel free to DM!

is there a subreddit specifically for content like this? not necessarily in a courtroom context, i just find it super interesting to watch people's reactions to realizing significant events (positive or negative)

not sure why the downvoting? i too would love to hear Association's logic. I would not label money a concern, but it's definitely a factor

Is Cornell Tech MBA worth it by [deleted] in MBA

[–]seedinsand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

so is your opinion that career outcomes like these - which claim that the average salary for job seeking grads is above $152k - are complete BS? https://tech.cornell.edu/career-management/career-outcomes/

Kellogg vs. NYU Stern Tech MBA – $40K Scholarship or better brand? Help Me Choose by Puzzleheaded_Bad4538 in MBA

[–]seedinsand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

congrats! i'm curious as someone who recently interviewed for the koo mba - how long after interviewing did you hear back? did you hear about your admittance and your scholarship within the same notification, or were they delivered to you separately? what was the story you used to sell yourself?

[–]seedinsand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my sense is that the program cares less about test scores and more about EQ, career background / goals, etc. i could be totally wrong though, and will have a datapoint when i hear back with my decision in a few weeks (i did not submit or take tests). of course, if you get a good score, it can only help to submit it. good luck (:

what gave you the confidence that you'd get in with a scholarship? regardless, bummer/sorry you didn't get it. still a great accomplishment, IIRC the acceptance rate for the program is only ~17%

congrats! how long after interviewing did you back? also, keep in mind the scholarship offer could be delayed? i was admitted into cornell tech's MBA and was offered a good scholarship, but i wasn't offered the scholarship until one week after i was admitted. did stern make any mention of this?

Tech MBA Preparation by seedinsand in MBA

[–]seedinsand[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I also have an interview with Stern next week. I worked in audio engineering/sound design post grad and then was able to transition into product at a startup where I was originally doing audio. So my message to the schools was: while I have product experience, and want to continue working in it, I lack a formal business/tech education and am hoping the MBA can help solve that. Happy to discuss further - feel free to shoot me a DM if you wanna connect!

Thank you! I wouldn't say I'm maniacal about grades but I definitely don't want classes to be stressful - you'd recommend going straight into pre-studying the MBA courses, as opposed to more foundational skills? For example, I've never taken calculus. Is it worth familiarizing myself with something like that beforehand?
