Hola,

Any puys applying to Isenberg School of Mgmt at UMass Amherst for fall 2008 ?
Is anyone aware of the rankings for this school and the placement ststistics ?

I have heard some good things about the faculty and the funding options at UMass, but havent heard much about the SOM. Pointers of any sorts would be useful !

Puys who have already applied to Isenberg and received a call, please pour in your experiences.

Cheers !

This school doesn't seem to be popular among puys. I found just this one thread on this school. Any particular reason? Is the reputedly bad career services cell just a personal opinion or a truth? Plz expand this thread. It is one of the Univs in my shortlist. Your insights will help me decide whether I should apply or not.

Thanks.

University of Massachusetts researching techniques for individual genes for inactivation—a technique with broad potential implications for both basic science research and human disease. Two scientific teams at UMMS, one led by Scot A. Wolfe, PhD, an assistant professor in the Program in Gene Function & Expression and the Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Pharmacology, and the other by Nathan D. Lawson, PhD, an associate professor in the Program in Gene Function and Expression and the Program in Molecular Medicine, working with a small fish—the zebrafish—commonly used as a model organism in biomedical research, developed a method to create and deliver a tailor-made “restriction enzyme” that inactivates a specific gene in a zebrafish embryo. The paper, “Targeted gene inactivation in zebrafish using engineered zinc-finger nucleases” appears as an Advance Online Publication of the journal Nature Biotechnology.
