Rate Your School: Michigan Ross


What’s one thing you’d change about the MBA at Michigan Ross?

It can be challenging for international students get job offers in the US. That’s an issue, but it’s relevant to all US business schools, not just Ross. I actually did manage to get a US job offer, but I decided to return to Peru instead.

Ultimately, my career took a 180-degree turn for the good after my MBA. Beforehand, I had a very eclectic career with no real a sense of direction. The MBA changed my life professionally and personally. It allowed me to focus on finance which is what I’m doing now, and discover a whole new world which I had never imagined before.

We’re now in a time of economic crisis similar to when I started business school back in 2009. My advice to people applying right now is that at some point every economic crisis will pass. Bear in mind that when the economy recovers and more and more job opportunities become available, you’re going to be first in line to catch that rebound.
