Hi Aaron,

Hope everything is good in Phili. Saw your discussion with Eyal on the wailtlist at Booth, and wanted to shed some light from my knowledge. Firtsly, I can say that the number of applicants who were waitlisted on R1 got nothing to do with last year's R1 yield. The number of Israelis that were admitted this year in R1 to Booth is not dramatically different that the number last year. The sizable waitlist is meant to assure that the best candidates from the joint pool of R1+R2 are admitted. No hidden agenda here. :)

There was a very large incerase in the number of applications to Booth this round, and a HUGE increase in the number of Israeli applicants. Like Eyal said, this sets the bar very high and leave very strong candidates out. Booth's competition on admits in the US nowadays is largely with H/S/W, and we can see many more Booth admits who were also admitted to these 3 schools. That was also the case in last year's R1.

I know that rumours and conspiracy theories are half the fun of the season, so I hope I didn't ruin that.

בהמשך להודעה של גילעם –
הייתי ממליץ לכל המגישים לשיקגו (או לכל תוכנית אחרת) להבין מהי "רוח בית הספר", במה בית הספר מתגאה וכיצד זה מתקשר למה שמחפשים במועמדים. מועמדים מאוד חזקים, יהיו חזקים בכל תוכנית, אך חשוב להראות שאתם מתאימים לסביבה הזו, שלאנשים שחלק ממנה (בוודאי לועדת הקבלה) ברור מה מיוחד בה ומה הערכים שעומדים מאחוריה. לגבי תרומה לקהילה ופעילויות נוספות, קחו בחשבון שלמועמד טיפוסי יהיו פעילויות רבות בהן היה מעורב (במילים אחרות, לא הכמות קובעת).
הבהרה למי ששאל אותי אם רוז מרטינלי עזבה – רוז האחת והיחידה עדיין הדיקנית האחראית על הקבלה ונותנת הטון העיקרית. קורט אלם הוא דירקטור שעובד תחתיה.

בהצלחה לעמלים על ההגשה לסיבוב השני ולממתינים מהסיבוב הראשון!

Gil and epony,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on my post. I share your perspective on much of what you wrote, but my opinion still is that the academic experience is different across top-MBA programs. To put this in perspective, I agree with Gil that the chances to launch the career you want should be the top priority when choosing a school. However, b-schools give some powerful tools that would be useful for the rest of one’s career, and much of this happens inside the classrooms. Differences between schools go way beyond the academic curriculum, but I want to put the spotlight on an area that I think is often being overlooked when researching schools.

As epony mentioned, I cannot compare my experience to any other program. However, my opinion is based on conversation with our faculty and students at other programs.

While all top schools compete fiercely to recruit faculty, some are more successful than others. Even within the top 10 programs there are differences in reputation and resources. Without implying that the academic level is not great at all these schools, in reality some schools would more often win than loose when they compete with others on faculty. An anecdote to demonstrate this battle of giants – following the economic situation and their shrunk endowments, most schools cut their budget for faculty recruiting this year. Booth is one school that took advantage of that to bring in two star professors it was after and new faculty with teaching experience. I don’t doubt that students work very hard everywhere, but from what I understand, there are differences in terms of school culture in that regard.

Clarification on the grade-non-disclosure policy: my experience is that rarely do students take advantage of this to do only the minimum requirements at classes and get a C. More often it enables students to challenge themselves and take advanced classes, without fearing how recruiters would evaluate their grades. It also makes the competitions in the classroom somewhat less intense.

Take care!

Guys,

Allow me to respectfully disagree with the claim that there is no point in comparing top-10 school on the academic level. I would agree that the academic level will be very high in each of these institutes, or that one might prefer to give little importance to that when choosing a school. However, my understanding is that like in every other parameter there is a meaningful variation in the academic level of schools.

Some schools have or dedicate more resources to recruiting faculty, or have reputation that helps attract the most wanted faculty. Not only that, I do believe that in some schools the studies typically demand more from students, and students work harder on the academic side (Harvard, Wharton and Chicago are probably a good example for such).

Another point to consider – while it's harder to compare the general academic level, one can compare strengths in specific academic areas. For example Booth has a marketing faculty that expertise in Quantitative Marketing and offers classes you cannot find in other schools, while Duke offers great Healthcare courses that other schools don't.

The schools' ranking is indeed not a good way to learn about their academic level, but to those applicants who give a high priority to the academic experience, I would recommend to research and learn about the differences that do exist between schools.

Good luck!

Avi, the fact the different economies were affected by the downturn does not contradict the argument that one economy is better organized to achieve social goals that another. Now, the real argument in my opinion, is – are there "right" goals? That, I think, is a philosophical debate.

If you are interested in the subject I encourage you to watch the video from the management conference. Among other things, you can hear Garry Becker, a novel laureate, compares data from US and Europe on economic growth, unemployment and other metrics for economic prosperity.

I thought this might interest the general forum as well:
Hi all,
I wanted to share with you a link to the keynote panel from Chicago Booth’s annual Management Conference we had last week.
To give some background to the discussion – The University of Chicago has been (and still is) instrumental in shaping the free market economical theory, with the most Nobel prize for economy Laureates and groundbreaking ideas. As such, many eyes are now looking upon the Booth faculty to explain what some call ‘a market failure’ (or is it? Answers in the discussion).
While Milton Friedman’s argument that any government intervention in economy will be detrimental still dominates our school, we see the US government taking control over AIG and GM.
So which is the better approach – the European model of capitalism, or the US model? Did the free-market really fail? What is the future of markets in the light of what happened and the increased government intervention?
The Chicago Booth Faculty – a novel Laureate, a former chief economist at the International Monetary Fund, the first business school professor awarded a “genius grant”, and others are trying to answer that.
To us these were fascinating two hours; aside the intellectual gains, to some of you applicants it could give a better understanding of Booth and maybe some ideas for your essays and interviews… J
Enjoy!

Dalit,

You are probably right. Most of my question can interest others.

I have been querying a little bit about the options the healthcare industry offers to MBAs in the US. I got the impression that since the European market is smaller, less companies recruit in Europe than in the US. Another argue that was made against going to europe is that if you work in an international company that its headquarters is located in the US, than you miss some of the insights you can achive about the industry when working in the states.

Another concern I have is the claim that the European market is becoming increasingly problematic for pharma companies and least profitable and that that european model is completely different.

I will be happy to hear your point of view about the issues I mentioned and your insights about the options that an MBA graduate has in the healthcare industry in Europe in General. I am also curious the tools LBS offers in terms of specific academic skills for someone heading to this field.

Thanks a lot,

Maayan

Hi Dalit,

I am considering to apply to LBS and see my future in the healthcare industry. You told in the LBS information session in Tel-Aviv that you did your summer internship in a pharma company. I have a few questions about the healthcare industry in europe and I wonder if I can contact you by email regarding this subject.

גלעם שלום,

כל הכבוד ותודה על העזרה הרבה שאתה מעניק בפורום זה, שהופכת הנושא לנגיש ובהיר יותר.
אודה לך אם תוכל להעריך את סיכויי להתקבל ל-Insead, LBS ול-Top 10 בארה"ב.
אני בן 28, שנה שלישית ואחרונה בתואר ראשון במדעי החיים והרפואה, אותו אני צפוי לסיים בהצטיינות (ממוצע 92-93). ציון GMAT – 730.
אני בוגר קורס חובלים, שירתתי 6.5 שנים בחיל הים בתפקידים של מפקד דבורה, מדריך בקורס חובלים, וכן מפקד סיירת דבורות (4 דבורות) ובמקביל סגן מפקד היחידה. במסגרת תפקיד מפקד הסיירת פיקדתי ישירות על כ-50 איש ובמסגרת תפקיד סגן מפקד היחידה הייתי אחראי על כ-150 איש והניהול השוטף של היחידה. במהלך השירות נבחרתי לקצין מצטיין.
לאחרונה התחלתי בעבודה בעמותה המטפלת בנוער בסיכון דרך פעילות בים. אני מתכנן להגיש מועמדות לספטמבר 2008, כך שאיני חושב שאספיק לבצע תפקיד משמעותי נוסף לפני הגשת הבקשה.

תודה רבה מראש,

מעין

Hi Dan,

I'm graduating this year my B.Sc of life and medicine degree and planning to apply to a top MBA school, as I hope to work in the future in the healthcare industry.

I will appreciate it if you could elaborate a bit about what kind of courses do business schools offer for someone who sees the healthcare industry as his destination, and which schools are considered 'strong' in this field. I would also be happy if you can provide me some general details about the kind of jobs that are offered for internship and after the graduation in this industry to MBAs, and what kind of salaries we are talking about.

Thanks in advance

שלום לכולם! הצטרפתי לפורום לאחרונה והבנתי שצריך לספר קצת על עצמי, אז קודם כל כמה דברים כלליים:
אני בן 27, מתגורר בתל אביב בשנים האחרונות. ביליתי 6 וחצי שנים כקצין בחיל הים. מנגן בחליל צד וסקסופון. כרגע בבירורים ראשוניים לגבי אפשרויות לMBA.

כיום אני עובד במשרה חלקית בתחום הפרסום באינטרנט במסגרת חברת מרקטינג.

שנה שנייה בתואר ראשון במדעי החיים והרפואה.

מתעתד להתחיל קורס במועדון 700 בקידום ביולי.

בצבא לאחר סיום קורס חובלים שירתתי כמפקד דבורה ולאחר מכן מפקד של סיירת דבורות וסגן מפקד היחידה.

בשלב זה אני אוסף מידע במטרה להתחיל לגבש כיווןץ

אשמח להיות חלק מרוח השיתוף והעזרה ולתרום בשלבים מאוחרים יותר.

אז בהצלחה לכולם,

maayanpi
