Moreover, on January 5^th, 10AM-12PM, we will have a Michigan specific info session at Fulbright. We will post more details about that soon but for those who are interested, you can now save the date.

Hi Shimon,

First of all, you’ve got about 100 MAP projects to choose from. If you go to face=Verdana color=#800080 http://www.bus.umich.edu/Map/MapSponsors.pdf you’ll notice that great amount of projects are all about marketing. What can be better than a 7 week project with companies such as P&G, 3M or other leading companies from all sorts of industries.

In addition, you will have a big marketing project in your core marketing class during first year. You and year team will choose a company which is currently going through a challenging phase and after performing a comprehensive research and writing a case about it, you will have to come up with and present a detailed marketing proposal for the future.

Besides that, we have (too) many optional case competitions sponsored by all sorts of companies. Many of these competition deal with marketing challenges in different industries. I am also sure that the marketing club has additional things going on. The thing is that neither I nor any of the other Israelis are too much into marketing so we are less familiar with specific opportunities within the club. Feel free to contact the club members (or simply further explore) at face=Verdana color=#800080 http://www.umbsmarketingclub.org/.

Regards,
Zvika

Yup,

None of the preliminary events (RLP, M-trek, accounting one-week prep class, math skills workshop and the English program) overlaps. Besides the RLP which is mandatory, the participation in all the rest is totally up to you. The English and math things are not necessary at all.

Only in case you want to go into finance, and you have a background in accounting, you should consider taking the accounting prep class and the waiver exam. This way you can take advanced finance classes earlier. Shiri and Ohad can help you with that.

I would also warmly recommend going on an M-trek. I personally went to Belize. It is not only a chance to take an adventurous trip to an exotic location but also (and most important) the best way to establish a social network with your class peers. My best and closest friends are my friends from that trip and I keep in good touch with almost all the rest. If you can afford it do it. I might be leading one next year BTW.

Cheers,
Zvika

Hi Shimon,

Well, the RLP is a week and a half program which is held just before the first semester (Fall A) starts. The program is actually not only about leadership. Each day you go through different activities such as outdoor team building challenges, community volunteering work and fare amount of lectures and workshops. The program is also aimed to be some sort of an orientation phase and a chance to interact with people outside of your section and of course getting to know your section before classes kick off.

The lectures/workshops coverd subjects such as leadership, diversity, business integrity, social responsibility, the school’s code honor and even a coule of lectures about maintaining a healthy lifestyle throughout the two years of school. In general the whole program was very fun and inspiring (one example of an inspiring moment was a lecture by Eleanor Josaitis, the founder of http://www.focushope.edu). Personally, the thing that I enjoyed the most was the fact that it was a great chance to get to know many of my classs mates.

As for your question whether it gave me/us the tools to lead internationals team… well… as you said, leadership and integrity are things I believe we bring from home. I do feel that throughout the intense teamwork we do around school (on almost a daily basis) I definitely polish my social/leadership skills and my ability to interact and cooperate with an extremely divers group of peers. And still, the RLP was fun times :-)

Hope I helped,
Zvika

Hi NDH,

Adding to Addi, if you are truly interested in Michigan (and you definitely should be), just make sure you express that during the interview. The essentials of the program here are team work, student initiatives and student driven activities, challenging academics, the MAP program (!), amazing social life and of course football (!!!). Usually being honest about why you want to do an MBA and why in Michigan should work the best. Just be yourself.

Hope I helped,
Zvika
