REASONS WHY PEOPLE DON’T APPLY IN A BUSINESS SCHOOL


It’s common human nature to make excuses even before we consider the option of trying something. We always tend to think of a long list of excuses about why we can’t do something instead of thinking about how we can do it.

This is true even in the case of students contemplating pursuing a higher degree, especially when applying for business schools. Even though they low-key want to pursue it but still they are hesitant to apply because of a few reasons holding them back.

Indeed, their qualms are legitimate matters for concern. So today we will discuss the most common of these concerns and aim to squash it down for you.

 

1.       B school education will put a dent in your wallet

You may feel like the expenses are an added burden on your shoulders because you are doing fine even without an MBA; but in reality, you are just holding yourself back from future advancement opportunities. There are many financial support systems that may help lessen the financial burden on you. Many institutions provide scholarships too to meritorious students. It's just a matter of time when you start earning and reap back the benefits. So, think of this as a long-term investment.

 

2.       Two full years of commitment makes you sweat

Many personal problems and constraints maybe making you think twice or hinder you from getting that MBA degree that you always wanted. This is why many schools offer a distance or correspondence learning program. The fees for this is comparatively less than that of full-time programs and also you get to learn remotely with classes only once or twice during the weekends.

3.       You love your job way too much to let it go

If you are one of those rare people who love your current job and do not want to let it go to be able to pursue a higher degree. Then MBA is definitely the right option for you. Many B-schools offer executive MBA programs especially meant for working professionals who prefer to maintain their job yet progress academically. For this purpose, they have evening and weekend classes with a curriculum designed to suit their requirements.

 

4.       The admission process and entrance tests intimidate you

Another reason why people hesitate to join these management programs are due to the number of entrance tests and the admission processes involved. It may have been a while since they took a test or even prepared for one, so the mere thought of it makes them want to drop the plan. A majority of these tests consist of questions and concepts that you have already studied for, it's just that you need to review it and practice a few questions to familiarize yourself with the pattern of the test.

 

5.       Being a non-business major

There is very stereotypical thinking that MBA programs are only meant for business and commerce majors. Most of the top executives of the world are from non-business undergraduate backgrounds, yet they have an MBA degree under their belt from the top business schools of the world. So, this really shouldn’t be your excuse to back out. 

 

6.       Your undergraduate score

Years back you may have been a carefree 18-year-old who thought just passing your undergraduate exams are more than enough, but now after you have turned over a new leaf you may be regretting it all because you think you don’t have scores good enough to apply to a B-school, no matter how much effort you put in for the entrance tests. Fret not, because there are many B-schools that require a minimum 50% aggregate with no backlogs for admission. Also, apart from academics, there are other factors like extra-curricular activities, volunteering, work experiences, etc. that matter too for admission.
