My Haas profile

My profile has been up on the Haas full-time program web page for more than a month now. Since then I've received questions from prospective applicants over the linkedIn. It's exciting to know that there are people out there who are proactive enough to reach out and then share their career goals with me so passionately. At the same time, I also thank them for their insightful questions and for allowing me to share my Haas experience.

Q: What is your most unique learning experience during the two years at Haas?
A: Unlike some of my classmates, I was fortunate to be exposed to various business project as a business analyst so the formal academic/business/student project learning experience was not as "unique" to me. What I find to be the most unique experience is rather personal and intimate-It was the intuitive leadership class I took while I was on my exchange program at HEC, Paris. It made me realized that I still lack much of the the "soft skills" of a good leader. And in order to be better at the"soft skills". I need to "feel" ( as oppose to "think") more by stop being judgemental to my own feelings.


Q: If I had chosen another school for MBA, what would I have missed the most in Haas?
A: I would have missed the entrepreneur spirit and atmosphere. At Haas, everyone is encouraged to take risk and pursue their own success. I never felt there was a "mainstream" nor "majority" field of focus. I never felt awkward or uneasy when I shared my career passion with my classmates. It's still a competitive place where we still strive for excellence but we don't compare . Because of this strong culture, I am now much more open to other perspectives both in my professional and personal life.
