最后一问续集

To be very honest, if you were holding an mba degree, the chance to get another mba is very slim. How can you answer those questions such as why mba/why now again in your essays with convincing reasons? Besides, the career path for mba and phd is quite different. If your ultimate goal is phd, you do not need to take an mba first.

To most people, mba is an "once in a life time" experience and investment. What do you expect to get from your mba? It's true that nobody can guarantee after two years you'll enter a better school. But judgement is an important aspect of leadership. So think over and make your own call.
