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.
Learn more about financing your degree
When applying to graduate school, financial considerations are very important. However, they definitely should not be the determining factor. Focus first on applying to the graduate school and what you need to do to get in to that grad school. Once you get in, you can start focusing on different sources of financial aid. From my experience, once you’re admitted to a school, schools will help you put together a package, which may include some loans, but the package will allow you to go to the school of your choice.
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.
