GMAT/B-school with kids [#permalink] New post   17 Feb 2011, 22:23
Hi folks, this thread is mostly for young moms dealing with diapers and GMAT books at the same time. It is not insane and it is not unusual and new moms have full right to aspire big and have a real career. I realise this thread may not pick up very well and i might get some discouragers, but if you are a person who had a baby while preparing for GMAT, apps or the actual B-school, share your experience here, my background: fulltime job- research in engineering/ aiming for HAAS EWMBA Fall 2012, my daughter just turned 2, so its a happening world!

Good initiative!!

Just a little comment though. Keep this thread for "GMAT with kids". For putting b.school experience, you need to start a new thread in "B.School Life" forum.

I'm new to these boards, and this is exactly the topic I've been looking for. Planning on applying to b school fall 2011 for a 2012 entry. Married with a 2 year old daughter, who will be about 3 1/2 at the start of classes.

Looking at the possibility of applying to an international one year programs, like those at Temple and Boston. I can't find anything on their websites about attending with a family. Is this discouraged? At the least, I'm assuming the housing situation may be made more difficult.

Hey dbuck,
I dont think it should be a problem, as long as you are bearing the cost of living, which will vary a lot..A small college town should be cheaper in comparison to staying in a place like chicago, so you might want to put that in your checklist while making your b-school wishlist.
