How many months before the start of business school would y'all suggest quitting? I definitely want to take a breather, but I don't want the time off to negatively affect future recruitment.

Curious about this as well. I'll be going to London for my MBA, so maybe an international move can be a justifiable excuse?

2-3 months is not unreasonable. It's not uncommon for applicants to take a few months off for relocation/travel, pre-MBA "academic/leadership retreat summits", and social entrepreneurship/non-profit work related to finance ( this I've seen a bit as of late and I think it can be a differentiator on an applicant's cv/resume)

The difference in price is substantial – 2.5k for the traditional course vs 6k for the extended one. Any thoughts/recommendations on which one I should take? In case it is helpful, I come from a civil law country. Thanks!
