It’s not often spoken about, but going back to business school is really kind of a cake walk. A rather easy affair if you can get in. But how can this be, given the horror stories of drinking from the case study fire hose and pulling all-nighters with your learning team?
Let me be clear: nobody fails out of b-school.
There’s no thesis to write and comparably little research. You don’t even have to write any papers, just business plans. In short, getting through business school is really like a trip to “Candyland” --- you get to spend two years sampling your favorite treats and you leave satisfied, ready to realize your loftiest post-MBA goals and dreams.
Then why does business school have a reputation for being so intense and rigorous?
Just because it’s hard to fail out doesn’t mean everything about b-school is easy, but the things that make business school difficult at all are typically the things MBA candidates are naturally good at such as time management and working hard. Do you have to study? Absolutely. Do you have to spend considerable time out of class doing work? Yes. But because it’s subject matter you truly enjoy and are going to leverage to open up your entire future career vision, everyone seems to find the extra energy required. Like anything difficult, MBA programs leave you with an extreme amount of accomplishment at graduation, a professional glow that remains throughout your entire career if you leverage it well.
The toughest part about getting your MBA is getting accepted into the best program.
The dirty little secret about how easy b-school is relative to other graduate program has a flip side: it’s a lot tougher to get admitted than those other programs. The selectivity of business school is also why it has such a high graduation rate---it’s bringing in some of the most successful, driven and high-performing young people in the world. This, in turn makes it even more competitive in the application process. It’s truly a nasty catch-22. As application season draws nearer with each passing month, you must begin putting real effort into plotting your MBA game plan.
