Looking back over first semester, there are plenty of things I learned but some stuck out more than others. It was a huge change in my life, and there are a few things I wish I had known going into the program...but I quickly figured them out.
So for future First Year MBA Students, here is my Top 10 List!
1. Do not procrastinate! Time Management is absolutely KEY!
2. Talk to the 2nd years. They will give you valuable advice, not to mention old tests!
3. Go to social events...even if you can only go for an hour or so. It will make your class grow closer, and expand your network!
4. Working well and getting to know your team can make your life a lot easier
5. Read chapters BEFORE class and skim the material again AFTER class. Utilize your team/class mates for points you may have missed during class.
6. Use the “day off” on Friday to get school work done, you’ll appreciate it later.
7. Networking. Networking. Networking. It’s NEVER too early to start networking.
8. Get your resume done EARLY in the semester when you have some extra time. Then you can apply for jobs throughout the semester as they are posted!
9. Do NOT Stress Out! It will only make the workload seem worse than it is. Take everything one step at a time, and it will be WAY more manageable.
10. Have Fun...two years flies by faster than you think!
