Introduction

I want to meet other people applying for similar MBA programs, UCLA in particular. It'd be great to listen to how others are going about the application process. Also, would like to find study buddies for the GMATs.

What Valerie is saying about this Meetup Group

Paul had interesting and informative facts to share on the MBA application process. He speaks from experience and gave the "real deal" about what admissions commitees looks for. Offered great approaches on what to write on application essays. It was different from what you hear from College reps and other publications you may read about online. Definitely would recommend a meetup!
