Admission & Application Survey |
| EMBA |
There was a lot of networking involved. If you're lucky, your company
will pay for your tuition which can be costly. More than likely, the
students who are sponsored come from strong math backgrounds and
are/were engineers. My class was quite well-rounded with women
comprising roughly 35% and there were several classmates who came from
non-technical/non-engineering backgrounds. This made classroom
discussion lively and certainly more practical.
Who you know is important with Tulane's EMBA. It's not just if you can
pay the money. I knew of several students who did not get in because of
their age, lack of experience, or simply a poor interview.
For me, I called the office to inquire and a first interviewed was
arranged with the Assistant Executive Director. I filled out an
application following my interview and then met with the Executive
Director.
Personality counts. Being articulate and effectively communicating why
the MBA will be of value certainly count in the interviewing process and
serve as a reminder when times get tough during the program.
A special note: I was in another competitive EMBA program and
dissatisfied after 6+ months of study. Tulane found my complaints
interesting, especially with relation to their marketing efforts.
