How many people have met their spouse during mba?

Some programs are better for meeting people than others (booth, Wharton, Kellogg) but in general people are usually either partnered up or there’s a fundamental mismatch in what people want. MBAs are full of high earning men but not full of attractive women. Those at programs with undergrads or other grad programs may have more options.

If someone is in their mba at 25/26 and going after 21 year olds it’s not that weird

I did not. 6 people during my MBA class did get married though. But to people outside the program. Wasn’t much room to date anyone. Nearly 90% of us were already married or in long term relationships.

2 pairs in my cohort of 120 ended up marrying. Most were not single.

Were you in EMBA programs?

No. I was in a standard MBA program.

I met my spouse while getting my MBA so it is definitely possible. Actually there were several of us in our cohort that ended up dating and eventually getting married. It was a great place to meet people that is for sure.

What school?
