The ratio of men to women in MBA programs across the nation is far from equal. Not many women elect to apply for MBAs despite
the opportunities an MBA provides, i.e. high salaries, connections and career advancement. Why not? Why go to other professional
schools and not Business School? Some women have hesitated to pursue MBAs as a result of the competitive nature of the programs,
despite the fact Law School and Medical School are perhaps more competitive. Ultimately, it seems that it is the time and the
commitment required of traditional post-MBA consulting or investment banking careers that most family-minded women find hard
to accommodate.
Despite various hesitations and doubts women may have about pursuing an MBA, they rarely find their experience to be an
inadequate one. In general, the overwhelming majority of women find themselves satisfied with their business school experience
and added opportunity. And more and more women are pursuing MBAs.
I took the GMAT yesterday and got......680 (unofficial score). Needless to say I am delighted, if somewhat stunned. I never thought I'd score 100 points higher than last time around. My maths improved the most (from 32nd percentile to 56th percentile) and I was in the 95th percentile in my verbal. If I'd had a few more weeks I'm sure I could have improved my maths score even more, but I'm happy with 680. Thanks for all your help and the excellent classes. They really were invaluable and worth every minute. -Mathew (This student took our 28-hour long course in London.) Read More...
