Thanks to a contact supplied by one of my mentors, I have recently had the pleasure of meeting several Michigan MBA graduates. The initial contact was the president of Michigan's Denver alumni club. Not only did he invite me to the '07 Denver World Wide Club event on Sept. 19, but he spent over three hours talking with me over dinner and beers. His insights were awesome and, while he definitely did an excellent job plugging Michigan's program, he also helped me root out several points to highlight in my application.
In addition, I met an '04 grad at the World Wide Club gathering. Her enthusiasm for Michigan was infectious and she had great things to say about her experience. She also helps Michigan's admissions committee and has agreed to meet me for breakfast next week to talk about my application (yahtzee!)
As a fun side note, the '04 grad also has an undergraduate degree from the University of Colorado. When I asked her which school she rooted for, she said, "Michigan, without question." That's great news; it means Michigan does an extraordinary job instilling camaraderie and school spirit in its graduates students.
