Hypothetical question: Can a Business School take a total dumbass, a goof and transform him / her into a genius? The answer is YES !!!
This is because there is a hidden genius within every dumbass that he / she never knew existed ! Its just a matter of waking up that giant and training the giant to excel! Is that even possible? You betcha! While the results are surprising, it is no magic! The trick Biz Schools use is to overload you with work, constantly drill knowledge into your brain, develop your existing skills and positivities, while helping you get rid of your weaknesses and negatitivities. This is possible because the MBA is a very very interactive program. Participation is extremely important. Feedback is important. You are basically LEARNING BY DOING, not by reading alone. You are forced to act, you may fail at first, but then, then you get better with time.
If I had the power, I would make it the law of the land that every person with an undergraduate degree should get an MBA, ha ha :)
This blog documents my MBA student life at Ryerson University, Canada (2010-2012). It was an attempt to demystify the MBA experience, help understand MBA topics & encourage MBA wannabes. I have a Pre-MBA blog about B-School application process (and a few other blogs) as well. I used to blog actively in the past and interact with readers regularly, but life got very busy after my MBA. Good luck. Take care. Cheers! Gerry.

Updated my Linked In profile, feels goooooood :)
Its been only 2 months since I started my MBA program and already, I feel so empowered and enlightened !
A HUGE thanks to our Strategy Professor for giving us so much knowledge and basically for honing us to face the business world. Thanks also to the Strategy subject itself. This is one of the Core subjects of the MBA program and it empowers us to have multiple ready tools to tackle business problems. Strategy course also helped us learn presentation skills and team skills.
The Marketing course has helped too, especially with regards to presentation and writing skills of using Excel spreadsheets and pitching ideas to the boss for the Acid Test. HR & Business law have been excellent supplements to the Strategy course so far, for me. HR (Human Resources) + OB (Organizational Behaviour) certainly helps to become a good manager.
What is also good is that we are learning current topics like Ethics, CSR, diversity, sustainability .While we may not be aware, the MBA program has been very intelligently and very diligently crafted so that we students get the complete and best MBA experience possible (with existing resources, atleast)!
My resume, which used to be pretty vague, looks a lot better now. I had always wanted to feel professional and look professional. While with an undergrad degree, I did have that feeling to some extent, the masters program has certainly given a huge boost, just by the nature of the program, as well as by the excellent teaching at Ryerson University! I am a proud student of the Ted Rogers MBA program :)
