for he's a jolly good fellow

what am i talking about exactly here? recently, i met someone who participated in the Riordan Fellows program at UCLA Anderson, a program which exposes recent grads to the real life experience of business in preparation for the real deal. here's a quick description of the program.

The Riordan Fellows Program targets current college students and recent college graduates who are considering graduate education in business management. Its core purpose is to educate, prepare, and motivate these individuals to competitively apply and succeed in a top MBA program and a career in management. Fellows attend eight (8) monthly Saturday sessions that provide various activities and services, including:

  • Riordan FellowsGraduate-level discussions and case studies led by top UCLA Anderson faculty
  • Personalized one-on-one MBA Action Plan counseling session
  • Guest speakers from the corporate community
  • Guidance on MBA Admissions, financial aid, and GMAT preparation
  • Personal mentors who are current UCLA Anderson MBA students
  • Team Community Service Project
  • Networking opportunities with industry professionals and the UCLA Anderson community
  • Social events with Riordan Programs alumni and corporate representatives

it really seems like a great opportunity for me to get exposure to the pre-MBA lifestyle (not like studying for the GMATs wasn't bad enough already). the only problem is my whole commitment to moving up to SF come late summer/early fall. if i were be accepted into this 8 month long program, it would push SF back a lot later than i had initially hoped for. i'm already anxious enough as it is to move...but this opportunity came along, and now i feel like i might have to reevaluate my goals in life.

what am i saying.....i need to get into the program first. don't you hate it when you so many decisions to make that you don't even know which one takes priority over which?

i hate thinking so much...
