Learn more about diversity in MBA programs
My advice for a minority candidate is that you have to understand that perhaps your road might be a little longer a little harder than your neighbor’s. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t do it. There are many Universities out there that have diversity programs that are targeting you as a minority specifically. And, if you find that University and you would work hard to join that University, then you will eventually have the same opportunities, the same access to corporate America that everyone else has. But, first and foremost you have to understand that perhaps it won’t be on a silver platter. My advice is, no matter how long and hard the road might be, never surrender, never give up on that dream. Find a program that you work well with, and that wants to work with you, and you’ll be able to achieve your dream.
Learn more about an MBA degree
The MBA is a unique opportunity in regards to what it does for my future. I think it definitely is the key to opening the door to multiple opportunities. I look at it as a springboard to taking me in a different direction; whether it’s in my career, whether it’s in the community. That was what was important to me. I felt like the door was shut, so to speak, before I started graduate school. Every direction I started to go in, I couldn’t continue to go in because of a lack of education, so to speak. And so by opening that door with an MBA program, I’ve completely seen that. You look into the future and there are some opportunities that I see that I can have because of the MBA.

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.
