Let’s talk about your goals

If you are considering getting an MBA, the real question is ‘why not choose the 3+2 MBA Program? It cuts a whole year out of the MBA process. I expected to get an MBA at some point in my career, so the best time was while I was still in 'studying mode' before the opportunity cost of stepping back from my career could be a factor. The degree went beyond building technical skills—it expanded my network, built my communication and presentation skills, and increased my self-awareness and self-confidence.
