Hey all!

I'm considering applying to the UCLA and UNC online/online hybrid programs to allow greater flexibility. UCLA only requires 4 visits per quarter and UNC is completely online. I am located in Chicago (considering Kellogg/Booth as well).

Can any UCLA FEMBA Flex and UNC Online students speak to their experience with their program in terms of student body engagement? Do you feel like you are gaining a strong network - the benefit of a traditional MBA program?

Hi there,
I've heard positive stories from my students who went to UCLA FEMBA.
The best way to learn more about the program is to reach out to students directly, and also to the school - they can usually arrange for you to speak with current student and alumni. You can often find students' contact info on the website.

Reaching out to the schools also indicates that you are serious about the process and therefore increase your chances of admissions. The EMBA/online programs are more approachable than the full-time, so don't be shy.

Why not Chicago or Kellogg weekend/evening programs? Or EMBA if you're qualified...If you're planning to stay in the Chicago area (or Midwest), these are stronger brands than those of UNC/UCLA.

Also, the online MBA is great but a big part of what you get in the MBA is the network and relationships, which are not as strong in an online MBA. You just want to take all these factors into consideration - you'll probably only going to pursue one MBA, so spend your time and money wisely.

Best,
Yael

Why are you not considering a FT program? You will get way more out of the FT program, especially if you are looking for a new job or career.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
