MBA changed my life. It may not be for everyone, but for me, 2 years in Ann Arbor were a transformational experience that has guided and continue to guide the course of my life.
I have always felt this need to give back to my own school as well as contribute to the lives of many others who are looking for gaining admission to a top international business school. This is why I am highly active in the Ross alumni network as well as guide a handful for students to gain admissions to their dream business school.
But I would like the benefit of my knowledge and experience to extend beyond the small circle. So, I am writing this series to share my experiences and advice. You may find things that may seem like the repetition of facts and advice you may have read elsewhere or may discover something new. But let me assure you, these are 100% pure, unadulterated views of mine gained from a long experience.
Also, while I have decided the major topics I want to speak about, the sequence and order may be jumbled up a little. This happens because I am writing this based on the dominant thoughts as they occur to me.
