Actually, I want to know how the process works. How exactly do people network in. It is because I know a bunch of professors and students at this nearby bschool, but don't exactly know how to leverage those connections to get in.

AmbaniSo I read this article ''Secrets of getting into a business school." I was wondering how do people network their way in a business school? Can anyone elaborate on this?

Just network everywhere. Network at a gym. Network at a night club. Network at a wedding. Network at funerals.

 

I am sorry if my question is not clear. I already know a bunch of professors and students at this nearby school. I have already done a decent amount of networking.

My question is, how can I leverage those connections to get in...

Connections as in being George Bush.

Look you are what, a sophomore or a junior? You need to chill out with all the hypothetical stuff you coming up with for last few days. MBA, MM vs. Boutique, PWM IT, IB Pre/Post MBA, networking - it's just all over the map and not a good use of you or anyone else's time. Do one step at a time, and don't go bonkers trying to look forward 6-8 years out.

 

None of these were "hypothetical"--except the one where I specifically say it being hypothetical. But I totally see where this is coming from. Appreciate the heads up!

Voluptatem ratione nesciunt dolorum ut. Necessitatibus voluptas deserunt ut labore at. Eaque distinctio voluptatem incidunt magnam eos. Eligendi rerum numquam reprehenderit. Ab molestias quod perferendis voluptate et recusandae autem molestiae. Et quia consequatur eos sint nemo ipsum debitis esse.
