To add to this now that program's ranks are set...
I was asked about why xyz program during one interview and I started to talk about my list I made for evaluating programs. I did this in excel and made weighted rank sums for score sorting according to total aggregate score in a variety of characteristics I was looking for (I had like 15-20 columns with 25+ programs to start).
But I was briefly mentioning this and started talking about how much I loved excel and was "really sold on it" and how i'd like to "explore a lot of the other office apps"
I was talking about the really powerful amount of things that you can do with excel (like statistical testing, Monte Carlos -well with addins anyway, stepwise regressions, etc) and access with building databases but I think I came across half looney. I was going to explain and try to recover but just left it at that as I thought I'd loose them even more if I dwelled.
My mba has definitely changed the way I think compared to a lot of rphs...
