We need to be able to pick up the pace at which we can change and adapt to our environment. That’s one of the skills that I would tell you that anyone coming out of an MBA program should have. Being able to understand how to look at a business, how to look at processes critically, how to look at them analytically, how to analyze how all the parts of a business are working together, and how to come up with a particular output to decide what to invest in and make improvements. Any MBA can do that.

I think I appreciate the MBA the most for the fact that it really does not limit you in any way. If you choose to give back through making a non-profit more efficient, or if you want to start a social venture that adds value in developing nations, or if you choose to be the best CFO in the world but donate your time afterwards, it gives those options and everything, every door is open at the end of the MBA program.
When I was applying to Business School, one of the things that I really took into account was that fact that I had a liberal arts background. I was a History and Poli-Sci major undergrad, and during the year that I was researching Business Schools, I took it upon myself to apply for coursework with statistics, accounting, and a calculus class; really to demonstrate to the admissions advisory committee that I was, one, prepared: I knew what the coursework was going to be involved, and that I really wanted to excel at the program that I was applying to. And I really felt that that benefited me because I was able to hit the ground running with the program and with other individuals that had either worked in banking or other fields that, on a day-to-day basis actually had that quantitative and technical ability. I was able to compete with them just as strongly. But I don’t know if I’d been able to do that without having that prior coursework.
