3 - Have you spoken to current students/ recent alums to garner a range of perspectives - pros and cons - of the programme?


4 - Does the class profile seem right for you? The age range, mix of backgrounds, average GMAT, years of work experience etc - can you see yourself meshing well?


5 - Are your nearest and dearest on this journey with you? If you're planning to relocate and knuckle down to study hard for an MBA have you got your partner/ family on side!
