As the MBA chapter of my life comes to an end (I can’t believe it is almost over! 2 years went by soooo quickly) so does my blogging about the USC Marshall MBA program. And as such, my blog is going to go through an extreme makeover to reflect my personal interest and the next stage of my life changing the world as a healthcare professional in the business world.
For the past year and a half, I have strived to provide my perspective on the MBA program at USC Marshall and the ups and downs of the life of a business school student. Blogging consistently as a b-school student was not easy as you might have realized with my lack of postings this year. The academics, career, and community aspects of b-school were extremely demanding and finding time to blog was somewhat difficult. High praises to my peers from other schools like JulyDream and Paragon2Pieces who blogged week in and week out.
Blogging provided an outlet for me to reflect upon my experience and reading entries over the past two years helped me realize the knowledge and insights I have gained through business school. It also provided prospective students a better understanding of what goes on in the business school setting and in a small way I felt like I contributed to the business school community and built the brand at USC Marshall. I received tons of emails from prospective students wanting to know more about USC Marshall, MBA life, marketing, entrepreneurship, consulting, sustainability, Net Impact, GMAT, and the application process and I provided my insights and unsolicited advice whenever I could. Social media is a valuable tool and I hope USC Marshall will continue to push forward with these new technologies to provide prospective students the personal touch required to help them make the right business school decision.
I am not so much signing off, but just slowly phasing out of my business school life and ramping up for the reentry into the real world. I will still post tidbits about my life at Marshall and Net Impact, but slowly adding entries about my personal interest in the healthcare industry. Feel free to continue to email me with any questions about the program or anything in general – I am always happy to talk to anyone about anything anywhere (for the most part). Also, if you are a prospective USC Marshall student do look at some of these sites -
