My 2 year MBA were the best two years of my life. In terms of fun, growth (academic and personal), stretching myself, everything. You only rreaaalllyyy get into it and get comfortable getting out of your comfort during second year, IMO

2yr MBA has way more fun

1yr if you are going back to the same firm, 2 yr if you want to try something new (or take some more time off). A lot of consulting and ibanking firms now are recruiting primarily from internships, which you lose if you do a 1yr.

Emory Cornell and Northwestern provide the quickest return on investment but you lose the internship opportunity

also depends on where you want to work after and where you’re from

I wish my program was one year instead of two. I'm wasting money returning a second.

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad. I’ve worked twice as hard and feel like I’ve barely even gotten half as much. It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school
