Why I Decided To Get An MBAAs I
mentioned in the beginning, I came up with the idea for this
guide when I was going through the application process myself.
At that time, I realized that the application was like no
other professional graduate school application in that it
asked you questions well beyond just your professional goals.
In the process of preparing, I dug deep into what I really
wanted and came up with what I believed was the right
reasoning for me to get an MBA. |

I had a great job and high paying salary prior to business
school but felt I needed to understand the business landscape
better, especially from the perspective of different industries and
globally. I believed that no matter what I did in the future, the
knowledge of how different businesses work and the management
decisions that make them successful would be invaluable to me.
Although I had an idea of what I wanted to do career wise after an
MBA, my main reasoning for attending business school were the unique
experiences, alumni network and diverse knowledge that I felt I
couldn¡¯t have gained just working in my current job at the time.
I know there are those people who got their MBAs and then
complained it didn¡¯t help them. I would only say that perhaps their
heart was not in it from the beginning. If you start reasoning your
decision based on ROI calculators and articles that people write,
then you could set yourself up for a similar disappointment. Your
decision to get an MBA should be something you truly feel passionate
about.
