After spending 5 years in the market, going back to school is a “different” experience. I have carefully chosen the word different as it can take any meaning. Within just a week of classes, I could figure out the single most biggest challenge which B-Schoolers face – Choosing the right things at the right time. There would be so much activity going on and each and every activity would be so good that you would not like to miss. But, unfortunately you just have 24 hours in a day – a time too scarce to really do everything!

So, as everyone says, the sooner you decide what you want to do the better it is. Then, you can spend more time on things which interest you and the more focused you will remain throughout the next 2 years. That being said, I personally don’t think it is entirely a good idea to completely shut everything. I have joined a B-School to get a 360 view of everything – different industries and functions. So, I hope to maintain a generalist approach, attend as many events as I can manage and concentrate on things I “really” want to do.
