So I know this is a "Harvard or Bust" blog, but I do obviously have to keep my options open to all possibilities. Hence, I am going to San Francisco next weekend to attend the INSEAD MBA Master Class, Information Session, and Networking Cocktail event.
INSEAD is an intensive top ranked international graduate business school that is located in Fontainebleau, France with an alternate campus in Singapore. They also have a strategic alliance with the Wharton Business school.
I was drawn to this program as it places a strong emphasis on the international business market. INSEAD also incorporates the case-method style of learning that originally drew me to the Harvard business program. International business development is an area that is only going to continually expand and offer alot of exciting opportunities. I also have a great deal of my family who live throughout Europe (as well as the rest of the world) and my wife and I have talked about moving to France possibly in the future.
I am a little nervous honestly about attending the session since I feel slightly inadequate having only just finished up a year of community college classes. I am expecting all these seriously competitive, uber-smart, finance wizards to put me to intellectual shame (note to self, work on self esteem), but I think it will be a good training excercise. It will also be a great opportunity to ask the admission committee their opinions on my choice of schools. Hopefully by then I will have heard from UCLA.
Either way it will be a nice weekend away from Los Angeles, spring time in SF is just perfect.
