What is your advice for a prospective SOMer?

When I did my school research, I focused on several criteria such as location, recruitment reports, and class size. However, I realized that none of these factors are as important as the school's culture and whether I would feel happy in the community. An MBA is a precious two-year opportunity, and it is unlikely that I will be able to return to school anytime soon in the future. I found SOM to be a great community, and I am really happy that I ended up here. My ultimate advice is this: Choose a school where you feel you would be happy for the next two years.
