How are you going to have time to start a business while being a full time student? Why would you take on all the debt that an MBA requires if you want to start a business? If you’re serious about this you’ll be better off quoting your job and working on your idea for two years. I don’t follow your logic.

Cynical translation: I have no idea what I’m doing, but name dropping a fancy business school will make people think that I do.

You can do better than that.

D1, I have a few ideas and those are mostly software (ML, Blockchain stuff)

Asc1, I just want to start a business when I start my MBA and sell it or use it for my new job when I graduate. So any school that promotes Entrepreneurship would be great. And just in case thing dont work out, I will try to come back to the firm so I dont want Babson. Does this make sense?

That makes sense^. I don’t agree with it but it makes sense. Yeah m7 or top mba programs that have great engineering programs/large state school (tepper, ross, mccombs) id think

Babson is #1 for entrepreneurship but don’t go there because they are not well known outside of that realm. I think Stanford, Wharton, MIT and Berkeley are the best when it comes to entrepreneurship in the tech space but Stanford and HBS have significantly more venture backed startups than do the other schools

Thanks for the input everyone. 100% not Babson.

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.

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
