Think beyond the MBA


Most of you, if you’re the type of person to be considering an MBA, will be career focused. You’ll probably have an idea of how you’d like your career to transition or what type of job you’d love to do after b-school. Try to find an MBA program that can help you achieve these career goals.


Most general MBA courses will cover similar core management/ finance modules, but will any of the electives, special tracks or consulting projects enable you to explore specific careers you’re interested in?


Does the school have a strong success rate of channelling students in to your chosen career? How many alumni are currently working in the sector you’re interested in? Is the careers team well connected with your hit-list of employers?


Obviously a lot of this is difficult to pin down precisely – and maybe you genuinely don’t know what you’d like to be doing a year or two down the road – but it’s worth some consideration of MBA Jobs before you start your b-school application.


4 5 Your loved ones


Does your choice of MBA impact a wife, husband, girlfriend, boyfriend or other family members? Take them on this journey with you. An MBA is a big financial and emotional commitment – you don’t want any additional stress factors added to the mix!

Class profile


It’s difficult to stereotype MBA cohorts, as they change each year. But some indicators (size of class, international outreach, age profile, GMAT requirements) provide a guide to the types of folks you’ll be mixing with.


Some people like the idea of intimate learning groups, others are attracted to bigger crowds – try to picture where you’d like to be. Your MBA classmates will hopefully become lifelong friends and business connections – it’s an important and life-changing decision!
