| Studying in the Business School |  Facilities
Be prepared to work very hard when you get to business school, but if you at one of the better ones, take support in the fact that you will be doing it in style. The fact is that a lot of the schools are investing a great deal in infrastructure to encourage you. Keep in mind, there is an exact part of reciprocity in the relationship between schools and applicants.
Connections
MBA program has become extremely significant for young people trying to get their foot in the business world. At business school you are going to educate in the "what" and immerse in the "whom". You are going to be spending two full years networking without even realizing it. You are going to be in close contact with individuals who are now extremely influential in the business community.
Jobs
The MBA is indisputably the hottest degree you can hold, mainly from an elite school. The stats prove it: At almost all of the best schools, GMAT scores and starting pay packages are setting records. Applications are too, though a great part of the boom is coming from out of the country.
Nowadays, the MBA is on its way to becoming an obligation for anyone who hopes to build a business career. Definitely, it is true that corporate recruiters cannot seem to hire enough MBAs these days. The 259 recruiters who participated in business week's 1998 survey of the best business schools hired 10,348 MBAs in total, a 28 percent rise from 1996. Grads of the Top 25 business schools averaged 3.2 job offers each, up from 2.3 in 1992, and compensation exploded. The median pay package at the Top 25 hit $111,420, up 19 percent from just two years ago. Another telling figure: Median pay topped $100,000 at 18 of our Top 25-versus 5 two years ago.
