Admissions Success Stories

I have received two email notices of personal messages but have not found any messages in my Beat the GMAT in-box. Did anyone send me a msg?

First of all, Many congrats to you and wishes for your new career endeavor.
I do not have a strong GMAT score but a strong desire to get into the top MBA program. My Undergrad degree is in Finance from Rutgers and GPA of 3.2. Also, three years of managerial experience at fortune 50 company. Considering that do you think that BCS or any other consultants can assist getting into a top MBA Program. Or should I stick with a more realistic goal?

Any insight will help.

Regards
HS

Hi Chris,

I just ran across your post. First of all, CONGRATS!! To be admitted to Haas alone must be a wonderful feeling, but to get a full ride there... all I can say is, "wow!"

I'll be applying this year to several schools as well (Haas is near the top of my list), and have a few quick questions for you.

1) How many of these full rides does Haas give each year?
2) Does Haas provide many other types of scholarships? How many students in each incoming class typically get some kind of merit/need-based scholarship?
3) I've got a tech background (product marketing) and am looking to move into CPG brand marketing upon completion of my MBA. I've led a few fund raisers, served as the campus recruiting manager for my company at my alma mater and currently act as the VP of Promotions/Public Relations for a local Young Professionals organization. Are these activities sufficient to meet Haas' stress on non-profit and community service background? I'm a little nervous because it seems like there are many fellow applications who have started NPO's or have taught in rural villages in China... lol.

Thanks, and congrats again!


Based on my background,

I just wanted to thank the founders of this forum and also tell the members about my experience with Stacy Blackman Consulting.

Choosing weather to use a consultant and which one to use was a very difficult decision for me but I found a gem!!! My experience with Stacy Blackman Consulting was nothing short of spectacular. My consultant was not only supportive and insightful throughout the entire process, but she also took a genuine interest in getting to know me. I would not be where I am today with out my consultant. In addition helping me accomplish my goal of gaining admittance into a top MBA program, my consultant has helped me develop my career vision along with my writing skills. I wanted you all to know that the consulting fees were some of the best money I have ever spent. The services I received from SBC far surpassed my expectations.

Feel free to send me a message with any questions.
