Case Study: MBA in U.S.A. |
Aman Gupta's
story on how he made it to Wharton.
(This story is meant to describe
the MBA admission process in the U.S. The person was an Infozee client and got an
admission in a top school in U.S. The name of the person, and some facts have been changed
to conceal the identity of the person.)
Two years earlier I wasn't sure if I wanted an MBA at all. I was
enjoying my work. My job required me to travel and I was always on the move. Each of my
projects lasted for not more than a few months, and I moved on to a different country for
every new project. Life was fun and the money was good too.
But then I met a friend and that meeting changed my life. I decided what I wanted to do
next, I wanted to take up an MBA and experience the learning to be a business leader in
the future.
In the following pages I share with
you my experiences in working towards an MBA in one of the top business schools in the
world. It can be a tough ask, but once I decided to go for it and knew that the returns
were worth a few sacrifices the journey became exciting too.
The applications can be very thought provoking. I learnt so much about myself while
writing my essays that I seem to be a better person because of it. I know much more about
myself and get a feeling that I'm more in control of what I want.
I'm sure my story will help others
like me who are either on the crossroads and deciding to take the plunge, or are already
into it and need help on some specific issues.
