me: 26, apply for 2005 MBA and by then I'll be almost 28. my hubby: 29, hopefully will graduate with PhD by the summer of 2005, when he is 30.
Plan to have a baby by June of 2005 in order to catch up with the entrance of 2005 fall MBA, but don't know what the admission committee would think of me when they interviewed me when I have a 4-6 month pregnancy(haha, can't imagine what I would look like by that time).
My schedule is pretty tight, but I would rather have my family (my baby) first before I jump into the unknown world of MBA. (wow, my little one would be proud of me if I can be admitted to a top MBA, how exciting!)
why '其实想想蛮可悲的'? I think having a baby is also one of the biggest success in a woman's life, but if you can handle both a baby and an MBA, that's a bonus.
I don't care whether it is hard or not, my little one is alwasy in the first place if I can't have them both. However, I'll give the MBA a try, at least I have a couple of more years before hitting 30.
Regarding the debt, that is not a problem for me even if I go to b-school now, don't mention 2 years later when we can save more money for it.
I will say when you have the baby, when you become the MOTHER - it will be difficult for you to make the decision to leave it back home while you are thousands of miles away.
yes, that's exactly what I am concerned about. I can't imagine how could I leave my baby at home while I am buried in the day-in and day-out MBA study, especially when he/she is only several months old. However, since I am in US now, and I will try to apply for those schools that are most close to where we are now, I probably can keep my baby besides me while I am in the b-school. My husband, my parents or my parents in-law by that time would be the strongest support I can get.
anyway, a lot a lot of difficulties ahead of me, as I can imagine. But behind them, there are so many beautiful views and joys I can expect to enjoy, which make all the effort a great sense to me and my family, and I will stick on to it.
I think you have no other choice, to be honest. You have to bring your wife to the states, since two years (or more if you work here) seperation is not so good for a young couple, don't mention you also need someone to help you to go through the tough two years.
