How will an MBA impact your career?
An MBA from a top [business] school would definitely help, especially given the networks, and [the] preferential treatment some recruiters give [MBAs] when considering applicants for associate positions in investment banking or in private equity.
Which business schools are you planning to apply to? What are the most important factors to you when choosing a business school?
[Whether they are] top-tier schools and the scholarships [and] fellowships offered. There is simply no way I can afford to pay 100% tuition virtually anywhere.
Ideally I am looking to finance 100% [of the tuition] through a combination of funds [and] waivers granted by the school, and a loan with a lender affiliated with the school.
What has been the biggest challenge in the application process so far?
Planning how to finance the MBA. It is challenging enough to save a year of living costs in places like London, Paris or Shanghai, unless 100% of tuition is financed in some way other than raiding the personal savings account.
I would also need to redo the GMAT and try to get a better score – some schools offer scholarships for applicants with extremely high GMAT scores.
How will you prepare to retake the GMAT?
I will borrow official guides and specialized books from the library at my previous university. I do not intend to buy any products offered for that purpose, simply [because] there is no budget for that, and consultants are generally overrated.
[A] career in finance – [in] investment banking , private equity or in hedge funds.
