University of C's

My University of Chicago deposit check is in! Sad parting letters to Johnson and Anderson have been written. (A post on my Chicago decision soon to come! My past few weeks have been jam-packed with the successful completion of my team's Girls For A Change project - woohoo! - and my dad visiting from Asia. Thus, sorry for the slow posts!)

Walking into Quizno's for lunch, I was shocked to see the entire University of California, Los Angeles baseball team sitting there feasting upon Quizno subs. The place reeked of B.O. :-P (And what they were doing in Fremont beats the heck out of me. Berkeley's up north, yo!)

In all the excitement of full-time business school decisions, I almost forgot about my part-time applications. Today, I received an e-mail from the University of California, Berkeley: Haas Evening & Weekend program for an interview. I applied to both types to keep my options open of perhaps gaining more work experience while studying (and f0r wanting to remain in the tech sector). As Foobarme had also compared the two options, the wheels in my head have begun turning again...

Congratulations on the decision!

I'm not sure if your employer is willing to sponsor you for your part-time program - that, in my view, would be the only reason to seriously consider part-time vs. fulltime. Given your 2-3 years of work experience, your opportunity cost is probably a lot lower than that of people who've been working for 5+ years. Plus, with a part-time program, you miss out on networking and placement services to a large extent.

Anyway, you probably already know all this :-). Good luck deciding! Also looking forward to your decision post - in case I end up having to choose (jeez! i'm way too optimistic for my own good!), it'll be interesting to know what criteria people use to choose objectively.

And thanks for stopping by my blog :-)
