hey amazing thread!! welcome break 4m the GD/PI overdose. do make it sticky. n i request mr prem ravi 2 share his exp as well- how he managed to get a call 4m IIMA in spite of having a family (and a new born daughter), a job and loads of responsibilities. i had considered the option but 4tunately or un4tunately, my relationship did not work out, so I didn't have 2 make that choice!! personallyi think if u have the experience I guess the one-yr ISB programme will be a good option in India, even if you are married. so go ahead and enjoy the marital bliss... it's the best and the worst!!

Dear Sir,

First question first.

What is the crucial decision you are talking about ? If it is, whether to do an MBA before\after marriage, its your decision. Pick which one that suites you. But if it is whether to go for an MBA itself. Then marriage is a wrong reason to give for doing or not doing an MBA. My personal opinion is that if one is married and then is applying for an MBA, then i guess he\she has an advantage. It will in most instances be assumed by the adcomm that the applicant has taken his\her decision to do MBA after careful thought. A married person, having the responsibility of his\her spouse\child going for an MBA signifies a higher degree of committment towards the his\her career goals.

Anyway. i guess your question was more pertaining to the problems that a married student may face. For married student with spouse\child accompanying will have to shell out more for lodging, boarding and insurance etc etc. In most cases your spouse may have to keep there career on hold. Many reasons for not marrying before doing an MBA and not taking your spouse with you, but one reason to, LOVE.

For married people, you can find out schools that are family friendly. I guess Tuck is one such top school. In most schools there are programs to help the spouses of students to adjust, you can find out about that. Best of luck for your MBA quest!

Thanks,
Single Still
