Learn more about the benefits of graduate business education

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.

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.
