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.
