MBA Quant Opens Up a Whole New World at Yale
Chad Troutwine, Yale MBA and founder of Veritas Prep, made the following comments about the quantitative rigor of MBA programs in a podcast over at MBA Podcaster about Words of Advice from Recent MBA Grads:
MBA programs are very quantitative maybe much more so than people would be lead to believe by simply reviewing the catalogues or looking at the material online. If you are, if a student is uncomfortable with math, the manipulation of numbers, the MBA program can be an excruciating experience. That doesn’t mean that it’s not rewarding for those people who aren’t naturally gifted with numbers, in fact it’s quite the opposite, it can be a real revelation and an incredibly satisfying experience for people who don’t have a deep quantitative background to grasp and understand all of these new tools. It really opens up a whole new world even for people who aren’t interested in pursuing a career that will have them manipulating numbers in some way as their sort of day to day responsibility.
