Harvard and Stanford MBA grads reveal the most important benefits they got from business school, besides their education (by RobinMadell)
They mentioned plenty of opportunities outside the classroom that shaped their experience and careers, such as building a community of peers and mentors, traveling outside the country, and taking on leadership roles in student organizations.When you attend an MBA program, you expect to emerge smarter and wiser, brimming with insights on leadership, management, finance, and marketing from your classroom learning.
Dilan Gomih, who received her MBA from Harvard Business School in May 2019, emphasized that MBA students should aim to learn how to take risks, inside and outside the classroom. "You have to trust that going to business school isn't an opportunity cost — it's an investment in opportunity," she said.
She emphasized that business school students should focus on building supportive, influential relationships. In her case, she met friends and professors not just in class but throughout her HBS experience who affirmed that the "crazy ideas" she had for what she felt passionate about were worth pursuing.
Another benefit that comes to mind for Chung was the travel opportunities that Stanford offered to its MBA students. "We took a lot of classes in school every day, but a lot of knowledge and instincts cannot be learned in textbooks, and these contacts and connections ended up benefiting me for a long time," she said.
Francis emphasized that you don't need to be given a specific title like "president" in order to make an impact and bring people together. Instead, he advised current MBA students to take the initiative to create leadership experiences outside of the classroom.
