I get queried all the time about entrepreneurship at business school, and after my HBS reunion, I'm going to say YES! An MBA is great for entrepreneurship.

But the truth is, you can always improve—and whether you’re a few months or years out, you’ve...
Waiting to get admitted is enough to drive a person mad. So mad, that it's a wonder that the admissions process didn't grab the name "March Madness" before college basketball did. The expression goes back to 1939, but it has only been used in relation to the NCAA basketball tournament since 1982. (North Carolina over Georgetown by a point).
As an admissions professional, I see many similarities between the two--not just the...
