Why did you decide to study either in your own country or overseas?
Decided to study in US because my alternative in Europe was a one-year program which did not suit my needs (because I had no business background I though I could benefit from a longer program for more learning, and a practical experience during the summer to try something new out.)
How well do your think the MBA is regarded in your home country?
Tuck is a small program with less name recognition than others in the US but it would be fairly easy to bring potential employers up to speed on the quality of the program.
How are you financing your studies?
- personal finances, - parental support, - loans, - scholarship
How much do you expect to earn on graduation?
Between 70K and 100K initially.
What do you expect to do on graduation and where do you expect to be based?
International development work either with international organizations or with international development consulting firms.
How easy or difficult do you expect it to be to achieve these objectives?
Quite a challenge to enter into international development sector - mostly off campus searches, few CDO resources available.
