<p>Also keep in mind that going to business school is often not about what one learns in class but rather about the networks and relationships that one will establish outside of class. </p>
<p>One of my business professors at Hopkins once told me a simple example: if you want to get a top quality business education, go to Dartmouth. But people still flock in the thousands to HBS not because of its education quality, but rather the powerful network of harvard alums that one will have complete access to after MBA. I’m an entrepreneur myself and I’m in the process of starting my own business right now. I can testify that having the right contacts and relationships is probably one of the most critical things to the success of a business. </p>
<p>Hopkins’ business program is relatively young. I do hope that, as time passes by, it will improve in both quality and reputation. In the mean time, this should not prevent you from coming to hopkins as an undergraduate student and major in other business or non-business related subjects that can can equally prepare you for the rigors of post-graduation work and mba.</p>
