^There is a giant difference between being academically competitive and working hard and being able to ‘compete’, and hoping to avoid a ‘competitive’ cultural environment. One can have the former and miss the latter.

I’ve taught in various MBA programs for many years. All of them had fantastic and successful students. The cultures of some schools are known as being cut-throat and unpleasant environments where competition goes to a personal level and it’s not pleasant- every student for himself; likewise there are extremely cooperative and team oriented cultures of some schools that are well known as such.
