MBA Career Paths: What Are You Going to Do?
This post was written by Harold Simansky, an mbaMission Senior Consultant.
A couple of contradictory truisms are floating around the business school admissions world: 1) the most successful applicants articulate a very clear career trajectory when they apply to business school; and 2) 80% of business school students go off and do something completely different from what they said they were going to do on their application.
Are MBA Students ‘Customers’?
The New York Times has a very interesting discussion up of whether MBA students should be considered ‘customers’ (i.e. have their input/feedback taken as gospel) as opposed to students. The debate is based upon a recent Chicago Tribune article about the same topic.
It might be a good idea to decide yourself how you feel about this, and perhaps apply to schools that agree with you!
