I agree - published rankings are not really the best way to determine the best school for you. You should create your own personal rankings based on the criteria that's most important to you.

My answers, which are based purely on my own research and not on any kind of hard data - I'm sure you can dig it up if you wanted to. I did research on these programs because I am interested in working abroad so wanted an international degree at one point. 1) Is it true that INSEAD is better for con...

A good way to think of the interview is a live version of your essays. The same questions you wrote about will be asked: why an mba? why now? why <school name>? I prepped by creating answers for many of the basic questions (based on the theme of my essays) asked and practiced reciting them from memo...

Some schools, such as UCLA, have an online math course for MBA students. You may want to explore one of these possibilities.

Recently got promoted and designated as a HiPot, short for High Potential, at my company.

Following up on Eric's point - many schools = many, many essays. Consider that each school will typically have at least 4 essays. That's 32 essays for 8 schools and granted that some themes can be reused from one school to the next, it will still be a lot of work as each question will be phrased jus...

You've posed a lot of questions and my advice is it get them answered chronologically - it makes your life less stressful in my opinion. One step at a time. For UCLA and Berkeley, I can't remember the exact dates the applications were available, but in general you have to wait until the essay prompt...

MBA Pay Through the Years
Here's an interesting BW chart that provides a look at the total pay received based on school. Keep in mind this is cash compensation and does not include stocks and options. "For each school, PayScale tallied the median cash compensation—including base pay and bonuses, but excluding stock and ...

Don't let my application and its results discourage you! What I've realized from applying and going to the UCLA admit day is that everyone is different. At the UCLA admit day, I did not meet a single person who had the same story. If your story (even if it superficially looks like mine - lots of eng...

Here's my approach. Look at the choices - they all attempt to use the idiom "are lacking ...to such a degree that..." so that was my main focus at first, but when I couldn't figure it out immediately I started to look for other errors. This is key. Notice the end of the underlined portion,...
