Surviving an International MBA - Part 1

[DJK]

"It’s been a long time since I put up an article and thought it was about time I told you all, how it has been at a US business school and what the experience amounts to, at the end of the day. I am sure that my blog has been doing a decent job about updating on the fortnightly or so activities, so here’s my attempt to run you all through the “Surviving an International MBA”. My take is that from the Fuqua stand-point. I am sure the experience will be similar elsewhere if not the same." - Simba aka Sowmya

Great article there Simba . A candour representation coupled with some really good insights. The thing that seems common to any Yem Bee Yeah be it a Foreign or an Indian B school and the one that confounds me is

Haha, welcome to the world of uncertainties, that’s an ‘Yeam Bee Yeah’ world for you!

With most of the essay questions focusing on clarity of thought and a good amount of self introspection one tends to wonder whether it's purely the "Creativity Skills Unleashed" that take you there .

Looking forward to Part II for some more insights Kudos.

PS: Finally I saw the real lioness All the Best with PaGaLGirL, Nice initiative.
