Sharpening Your Skills Before You Begin Your MBA
Every year business schools report that many soon-to-be first-year students lack some basic quantitative skills. Even if you’re an engineer or you were a math whiz in college, you may still struggle through your first-year courses. You definitely need a solid foundation in these areas, including some advanced spreadsheet skills before you even begin school.
You’ve taken the GMAT, written your application essays, managed to get great recommendations; and now after all that hard work, you’ve got that acceptance letter in your hand. You probably want to reward yourself with some time off—maybe do a little traveling before you head back to school. Most MBA schools will get some materials across to you. This will give you the option to prepare over the summer. A lot of times, it’s traditional reading material in the various subject areas, so you might have some workbooks and exercises and things of that type. Above all, ensure you prepare well for what lies ahead.
