Managing an MBA application and then implementing the transition is a big project in itself. I think it is the first training that one gets at multi-tasking, prioritizing and answering some difficult questions.
The more I think, the more I feel that the most powerful thing about the MBA is the network it puts you in. To progress in this world with lesser hurdles is not only about talent and drive. The personality and initiative do matter, and so does your network: a group of intelligent, helpful and successful peers and mentors. Compared to other educational setups, I think that an MBA provides for the strongest possible settings to build a strong, worldwide, quality network for the simple reason that quite a few people come to the MBA with this motive. Your MBA group, the alumni network and your school can potentially be your biggest power base. Of course a lot will depend on your willingness to contribute back, how much you interact with people and your conviction in this belief.
I have met a few people from my senior and current batch, and my experience has been good. Perhaps I will have revised this opinion after the course, for better or for worse. But for now, I go in with a realistic understanding that even though not everybody may think alike about networking, it is highly probable that the MBA group would be a cohesive one overall. Fingers crossed!
