For those who have received their
MBA or are in Y1/Y2 right now, has your MBA program helped with your creativity or allowed for a creative outlet in a business sense? I am a pretty creative person and feel like my current role has just completely depleted my creativity.

Creativity is not just making pretty things. MBA Y2. I always wanted to buy a business and MBA helped give tools and thought process that lead me to think more creatively about growing a business.

Did you pursue certain classes that helped with you buying a business? Or, in other words, how did the MBA help?

I’m not sure if it helped my creativity as much as it helped understand how to apply it to a business or project. In my current role creativity is a must but having the business sense to back up your ideas is huge

Need advice—torn btwn Booth and Sloan.

Already work in mgmt. consulting but looking to do either consulting or ibanking post-MBA (have only been at company for 1 year so not sponsored and may or may not return to my company).

Have $60K scholarship at Booth, nothing at Sloan. However, I already went to UChicago undergrad and live in Boston so have an established network here. However, concerned about lack of soft skills/leadership development, focus on academics, nerdy culture at Sloan.

I regret not applying to Harvard. I never thought I’d get into a top school and then got into wharton with a 100k fellowship - which changed my entire perspective. It sucks thinking “what if…”. I just didn’t have the confidence and thought wharton was a reach so why bother with H/S 🙃 hope this inspires someone to just shoot their shot - you never know
