בתגובה ל: ארכיון 1: ???Any Israeli Applicants #2037
In reply to applicant_04 from February 05 2004 on 12:14
Hi,
I didn't get any scholarship, but I don't think they announced it already at all.
There is a first-year Israeli student there that got the sweet-deal – full scholarship. E-mail me ([email protected]) if you want his details.
About the dilemma: If I were in your situation, I would have chosen CMU, because the whole MBA issue is an investment. Therefore you should look at the long range, and then the value of the degree from CMU is a major consideration even if it costs more now.

This is not a good question, but this is the way to solve it, given the answers.
I you assume that each kiwi is the same as the others, and that each bannana is the same as the others, the answer is simply – 1

Question #1:
If the question is "how many different ways are there to devide the fruit…?"
The way to solve is: Note that there is no difference between the baskets – the way you fill one of them automatically puts the rest in the other basket. Also there is no "first" or "second" basket. There fore, all you need to find is how many ways are there to fill ONE of the baskets.
The formula to choose K out of N w/o importance to the order is:
N!/[K!*(N-K)!]
Since ther are 3 kiwwis, and each basket must contain at least 1 of them, ther could be either 1 or 2 kiwwis in each basket:
for the kiwwis: N=3, K=1 (or 2, the result is the same)
for the bannanas: N=7, K=4 (or 3, the result is the same)
[3!/(1!*2!)] * [7!/(4!*3!)] = 105 ==> D is the right answer

הי ניסים,
התכנית של CMU מדורגת בסביבות מקום 20 בדירוגים הכלליים. נחשבת למספר 2 בעולם לניהול הייטק (אחרי MIT).
תכנית די קטנה (סביבות 240 סטודנטים). הגישה שם מאד מאד אנליטית וזה נחשב לבי"ס מאד quant, כלומר- דגש על החלק המתמטי של הלימודים.
אם אתה מתכנן קריירה בהייטק (ניהול. לא בצד הטכנולוגי), זה בי"ס מעולה. יש שם כמה ישראלים שלומדים עכשיו אבל אני לא יודע כמה התקבלו בסיבוב הראשון לשנה הבאה (חוץ ממני).
אם אתה רוצה כתובות של סטודנטים שם או אם יש לך עוד שאלות – [email protected]
בהצלחה.

About question #5- note that x=16 but the answer is 18!!
Question #6 – should be solved by placing out-of-range values an elimmination of wrong answers

Dalit,
On top of what I wrote to you in the mail, I think you should be aware of how important the work permit is. Hi-tech companies are not Moishe's HOVALOT – if your partner won't have the right Visa or greencard, they will not hire him. Check the visa link I sent you and even call the embassy.
The work permit issue is a problem to many MBAs, too. There are many companies that don't hire internationals.
Moshe.
בתגובה ל: ארכיון 1: שאל את ארינגו: תהליך הקבלה #1861In reply to Assaf Wand from January 16 2004 on 02:30
I heard about it too.
What kind of a criteria is that? (doesn't mean I won't take it…)
בתגובה ל: ארכיון 1: ???Any Israeli Applicants #1860Of what I heard from current students (including some who interview candidates themselves)- always wear business attire, unless otherwise instructed.
You can't control much of the interview, so you can't afford the possibility of making a bad impression right at the beginning. So, wear a suit, shave etc. Many interviewers may consider anything else as lack of seriousness on your side, which is never good.
Worst case scenario – it will be hot, and you'll need to wake up 15 minutes earlier to tie the tie (like I needed…).
Moshe.

הי שרון,
קודם כל סליחה על הבילבול. הפורום הזה מורכב מ90% בנים, אז אפילו לא חשבתי על זה….
השאלה שלך מתיחסת ל Tuck או באופן כללי?

Hi Assaf,
Thanks for responding so fast.
As I wrote, I almost gave up on Chicago because I thought that the admitted students got their replies on Sunday and that that was it for this round. Don's call really surprised me.
The weather is not a factor in my decision. Much more crucial is the study prospects for my girlfriend. She is interested in doing an LL.M. . Although the University of Chicago is out of her scope, Northwestern is a posibility. Same goes for Duke – Both law schools are definetily in her reach and my decision is subjected to this consideration more than to anything else, really.
Correct me if I am wrong – I understand that there are currently 3 Israelis in the first year. How many do you think will be accepted this year (3 already had been accepted, and this is just the first round)?
Moshe.

תודה.
האמת היא שכבר השלמתי עם זה שלא התקבלתי כי שני ישראלים קיבלו (בהפרש של כמה דקות) את ההודעה ביום ראשון, אז חשבתי ששיקגו סיימו להודיע למי שהיה להם להודיע.
עכשיו צריך לשבת ולהחליט לאן באמת ללכת….
אתה בסיבוב השני נכון? מה עם ראיון?
בתגובה ל: ארכיון: התקבלת? אנא עדכן #1810Hi Everybody,
Just got a phone call from Don Martin from Chicago, and I made it in.
BTW – 2 Israelis were admitted to Duke this round (not 1).
Moshe.
בתגובה ל: ארכיון: התקבלת? אנא עדכן #1772In reply to gbiron from January 11 2004 on 15:36
I gather that you applied to Chicago as well.
Where did you have your interview? Do you have any idea how many other Israelis applied this round (I know of two other than me)?
בתגובה ל: ארכיון: התקבלת? אנא עדכן #1770In reply to gbiron from January 11 2004 on 15:11
Initially, my #1 choice was Tuck. Since I'm not going alone, but with my girlfriend (who is interested in an LL.M., while Dartmouth doesn't have a law school), I had to give up this school.
If I get a positive reply from Chicago, I guess the choice will be between Chicago and Duke. Yet, I don't want to jump ahead of myself, and I leave those thought to when I will have all the results.
As for my stats:
I have a BA degree in Computer Science and Economics from Tel Aviv University. My GPA is 82.
I have been working as a QA Engineer for a small software start-up company for the last 1.5 years. Before that I was a security officer in NATBAG (with periodical re-enforcements at Israeli embassies abroad), for the whole duration of my studies (4 years). Before that I was in the army – I was an officer (Platoon Leader) in an armored infantry unit (HERMESH). All in all, not a very impressive resume, but I managed to get the most out of it.
GMAT: 760. TOEFL: 293
Moshe.
P.S. – are you related to Ziv Biron from Wharton?
בתגובה ל: ארכיון: התקבלת? אנא עדכן #1767I was accepted to Duke, Dartmouth and Cornell in the first round.
I also applied to Chicago GSB and Carnegie-Mellon in that round, but those schools had not released their answers yet (Chicago will do so by January 23rd and CMU by January 31st).
