My (MBA) Life: April 2005
http://calgradmba.blogspot.com/2005_04_01_archive.html
Life of a Berkeley Haas MBA Student. Thursday, April 28, 2005. After attending all the admit weekends, including the ones in Philadelphia, Boston, and Los Angeles, I've decided to attend the Haas School of Business. Now, I didn't select the highest ranking school that I got into. Here are a number of reasons why:. It would be very hard to imagine my life outside of the West Coast. Technology is where I want to be and Haas is well-positioned in the Bay Area. Loved the people I met at Days at Haas! This bl...

Life of a Berkeley Haas MBA Student. Friday, March 18, 2005. I've been talking to one of my Cal undergrad buddies and if I end up going to Haas, we're thinking about renting a place in Emeryville (thats where I use to live while I was in undergrad).

(15 minute bus ride.). 2) Close to the Bart. 1 mile from McArthur Bart Station. 3) Lots of shopping (. 4) Entertainment and Food Court (. AMC Bay Street, UA Emery Bay 10, etc. It's also ...

http://calgradmba.blogspot.com/2007/06/rockridge-elmwood.html
Life of a Berkeley Haas MBA Student. Thursday, June 21, 2007. Nice place for "Yuppies". Lots a nice places to eat and about 15-20 mins walk to Haas. Bus transportation is available. The 51 takes back to Berkeley in about 7 mins and it comes every 10 mins or so. A BART station is about 5-10 mins away too. Lastly, a Safeway and Albertsons is in the area. Some Places to eat at:. Excellent at a reasonable price $15! A tapas place. Not as fun as Cesar, but the food was good. Posted by Cal Grad at 4:19 PM.

My (MBA) Life: Music Magic!
http://calgradmba.blogspot.com/2005/03/music-magic.html
Life of a Berkeley Haas MBA Student. Tuesday, March 08, 2005. So what is Music Magic you ask? Well, essentially its a playlist generator. It creates a playlist based off of songs you like. For example, if you like Hoobastank, you might like Dashboard Confessional. So what's the difference between this and other playlist generators? Just an example of a playlist I got recently using "Hoobstank - The Reason":. John Mayer - Love Song for No One. Michelle Branch - Enough. Matchbox Twenty - Bent. But we ARE r...

Life of a Berkeley Haas MBA Student. Tuesday, January 16, 2007. I've often been asked, "Who/What is McKinsey? And I always found myself going into a long convoluted answer of, "Well, the industry is Management Consulting. They give top companies advice on strategy. They solve tough business problems.umm.". Of which, I would always get a, "Oh, that sounds nice.". Harvard Business School: #1. McKinsey and Company: #1. Stanford Graduate School of Business: #2. Google Inc.: #2. Wharton School of Business: #3.

My (MBA) Life: February 2005
http://calgradmba.blogspot.com/2005_02_01_archive.html
Life of a Berkeley Haas MBA Student. Monday, February 28, 2005. Mercedes SLK320 Vs. BMW Z4. After eliminating three east coast schools - Wharton, MIT Sloan, and Columbia - from consideration, I'm still evaluating Berkeley Haas and UCLA Anderson. With this in mind, I tried to compare them to something I know well - cars. For example, HBS is the $250K Bentley. The best available but, for most, unattainable. Posted by Cal Grad at 11:54 AM. Friday, February 18, 2005. Write down your goals:. Keep your resume ...

Life of a Berkeley Haas MBA Student. Friday, January 28, 2005. Just got the call today, I'm In! Posted by Cal Grad at 3:58 PM. Wednesday, January 12, 2005. Okay, first of all I have to say I respect Paul DePodesta. He became the GM of the Los Angeles Dodgers at age 31. But with all due respect, WTF is he thinking? I don't claim to be a Dodgers fan, but I do follow the team and I am completely preplexed as to where he is going with the team! So what is DePodesta doing? D) All the above. Uh okay . inst...
