Throughout my time in the Army I steadily promoted and I have had a successful Financial Advising career with notable institutions and now currently with a startup firm. Average client I manage has a liquid asset of $1.5million. I am looking to change careers as I struggle with the monotony of the job, and I am always seeking new challenges. I know post MBA there will be plenty of challenging and exciting opportunities to tackle which will hopefully help me feel more fulfillment in my professional career.
I applied to my programs via the Consortium.
I am looking to start MBA in Fall 2026, so by then I would have 4 years of work experience. I am thinking about receiving a dual-degree, but haven't looked much into the admissions process of the second degree in healthcare. Mainly, I am debating and need help deciding if Fall 2026 is the right timeline to start an MBA, and I'll be fully prepared as a candidate, or if I need gain more experience to improve my resume.
Your help is greatly appreciated !! :)
