SDM and TPP Administrivia

Yesterday, I met with Pat Hale, the SDM Program Director, and Yoko Urano, the TPP Program Administrator, to sort out a few administrative and logistical concerns of my dual degree status. It was a productive day. I am really looking forward to meeting my new classmates in the TPP program. According to Yoko, the incoming TPP class is 40 students strong, representing diverse cultural and academic backgrounds. I have also learned from yesterday's meeting with Yoko that there's an optional week-long Economic Review that new TPP students should take especially if they have little or no background in Microeconomics. I believe that this is the same Economic review class, along with 2 other review classes in Math/Statistics and Accounting, that MIT Sloan offers to its incoming MBA students. Since my undergrad Microeconomics course was so badly delivered, my knowledge on economics is rusty. So it would be pertinent for me to attend this week-long review class. Besides, I heard that there'll be unofficial happy hours at Sloan next week.

Good luck in your other program.

SDM should also have a math/statistics-course in January.

By the way, are you the only one of SDM05ers who got in TPP? I assume Rajeev did not get in/cancelled his application. I cancelled, too.

Honestly, I don't know if I am the only SDM student in the TPP program.

Math/Statistics course = ERBA ;-)
