#1 Getting In is the First Foothill, Not the Mountain

Students are understandably proud of their acceptance letters, coming at the end of a long and grueling application process.  But don't let that pride blind you to your preparation needs.  Your acceptance does not mean that you won't struggle with the quantitative demands of the first-year curriculum.  Everyone struggles with the first-year curriculum; that's the whole point of getting an MBA.  The three-part question for each student is:

  1. How much of that struggle will be in the quantitative area?
  2. How will you respond to struggling?
  3. What are you willing and able to do to prepare yourself before arriving on campus?
