What is it really like to experience the Berkeley Haas MBA?
In this episode of the MBA Golden Buzzer Podcast, I’m joined by Rebeca Sousa, a former client and Berkeley Haas MBA graduate, for an honest conversation about choosing Haas, navigating its values-driven culture, and facing the pressure that many students aren’t prepared for.
Rebeca shares why Haas stood out during her application journey, how the school’s defining leadership principles show up in daily life, and what it feels like to truly belong in a values-aligned MBA community. We also dive into a topic rarely discussed openly: burnout in business school. From anxiety and overcommitment to the moment she realized something wasn’t right, Rebeca walks us through her experience with clarity and vulnerability.
