An MBA can be a very important and expensive decision to make; not just because of tuition costs but also because of the opportunity cost that is an implication of the decision. Therefore it is imperative that once you have made the decision, you make the most out of it:
1) Be Open Minded: it is essential for students to stay in their "stretch zone" rather than their comfort zone, said Maura Herson (MIT Sloan School of Management, Program Director). Basically, since the level of competition is high and everyone around is driven and goal-oriented.
2) Remember the Classroom: Balancing extracurricular activities, trips and work experience and internships with classes can be a challenge for some; but it is important to remember that in class learning is as important and out-of class experiences.
