I’ve thought about this a ton bc I’ve almost gone to B school a couple times.
There are 3 big reasons to go:
Network–you want to meet other people on a similar path and be connected with other alum.
Knowledge–you don’t know anything about business.
Credential–this is important at big companies or if you’re going for a career change.
But is b school the BEST way for you personally to get these things?
If you get into a top 20 program, 1 and 3 are very strong.
But if you just want the knowledge, here’s what I’d do:
Google for the curricula of the top 5 or so MBA schools. Read 3-5 books on each topic, then do some interactive excercises. Boom, you just saved 200k and got the knowledge.
