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.

My advice for other international students considering an MBA is really to speak up especially if you’re talking about a U.S. MBA program. This is tough for me as well, we come from a country where we usually don’t speak up in class and almost confront your classmates with your opinions. So that is a big difference coming from India. But I would say that there’s value in that, you learn to speak up in class, you learn to express your options and you learn to just do it.

Who should get an MBA, I guess depends on where you are in your life and where you want to be. I think it depends on each person’s individual preferences. Do you want to take that next step to be in business, to be in a position to make decisions that impact so many different people? If you want to do that and you think you’re in a place in your life that you can take that next step, definitely get an MBA.
