The Los Angeles MBA Admissions Workshop (www.LA-mba.org)

What topics would you like to cover next?

Team: I am trying to gauge what is most important and relevant to you. Please let me know what topics you would like to cover next. Keep in mind that these topics are not mutually exclusive, we will get to them all eventually. Also, I am thinking of meeting every two weeks instead of every four weeks to fit all these topics in. That is a separate poll. Thanks Again, Paul
