Ok, so I just realized how much of a busy and cool day today was. It’s definitely not typical of every day, but it gives someone who is interested in applying some idea of the type of stuff you’ll get to do during the MBA program. So without further ado…
- 7:40 a.m. – Alarm goes off
- 8:15 a.m. – Final snooze is hit and I sit up in bed
- 8:20 – 9:10 a.m. – Finish writing assignment for Organizational Behavior (O.B.) class regarding a Trader Joe’s case we read for today.
- 9:30 – 10:45 a.m. – Economics. We discussed Game Theory
- 11 – 11:30 a.m. – Grab food, run back to apartment, shower and get ready
- 11:30 – 11:55 a.m. – Answered 5 interview questions through online VideoStream application. Through a webcam on my laptop, I recorded answers to the questions, which served as the final for our Professional Career Development class. I wore shirt, tie and sport coat. It was due at noon. Let’s just say I like to cut it close sometimes. I’m a thrill seeker.
- 12:10 – 12:23 p.m. – Wrestled with PawPrints to print out the O.B. writing assignment which is due at the beginning of class. Let’s just say I was unsuccessful because every printer in the world wasn’t working when I needed them to. Wound up emailing the assignment to the professor.
- 12:30 – 1:45 p.m. – Combined Organizational Behavior and Strategic Management class. We discussed Trader Joe’s from both culture and strategic planning perspectives.
- 2 – 2:30 p.m. – Done-In-A-Day Interview: I interviewed a prospective student who is applying for the MBA program this Fall. Student-run interviews are a new thing Baylor MBA is doing this year. I really enjoyed speaking with the applicant.
- 3:30 – 4:45 p.m. – Focus Firm. We discussed our semester-long project for a Fortune 500 company I’m not going to name. We’re gearing up for our April 15 presentation to faculty and other students. Some of us will be chosen to fly to corporate location of company to present.
- 5 – 6 p.m. – Speaker – Leigh Steinberg, the super sports agent who inspired the movie Jerry McGuire and has represented 60 first round NFL draft picks and 8 overall 1st round picks, gives a talk about his career. (More on this later)
- 6:40 – 8:15 p.m. – Hiked around Cameron Park with two of my classmates.
So as you can see, it was quite a day.
