Odds of meeting your spouse at MBA

Didn't read through the whole thread but would have to agree about dating outside the B-school. Just given the percentages of male/female at most schools (70/30, give or take), looking outside the school seems like a good way.

My gf has been coming with me to all of the admission events, school visits I have been doing.
I think she read this thread a month back (before I did today)...

Haha, this might be my new favorite Gmatclub post

Including lesbian females?

Havent been to this thread in a while, but someone needs to make the poster for this thread like this one:

How does foreign women rate? Exotic?
I did hear there are a lot gg on in b school. My friend thinks it's because the consulting and investment bankers had no social life previously that they r making up for lost time before gg back to grind again...

Glad to see the MBA hopeful men are not intimidated by a smart woman... Cant say the same about the Wall St types

WINNER.

LOL

Oh man...I'm gonna need a miracle, here. I'm so horrendous at talking to women. All of my friends (male and female) tell me that I'd make a great catch, but I have no real confidence in myself. An MBA at a top school is hopefully my gateway to a solution...People say that I remind them of Raj from Big Bang Theory o_O, for anyone who watches that show...

What school are you in?

@gablaze23: Not planning on going to B-School for the next 2 or 3 years. I went to University of Rochester for undergrad. Just a May 2010 graduate trying to gain some decent work experience and a solid GMAT score...

And for the record, employees at my old job in Los Angeles called me Butters from South Park, as well...

To answer the original question on meeting a spouse in MBA school

For men:
If we're talking about meeting a spouse (presumably female) in MBA school where the spouse is also an MBA student, chances are very small. MBA programs are mostly male. And among the women, a number are either already married or are committed to someone else.

If we're talking about men meeting a possible spouse while in MBA school regardless of where the spouse is from, then the chances increase.

Also, a lot of men will be married or otherwise committed anyway.

for women:
There are more available single men out of the single women MBA students, so chances are better than the men for the former, but like I said, many men are taken.

As for meeting a possible husband who doesn't have to be in the MBA program as well, the sex ratio is a lot more even overall among a university's grad programs generally speaking.

Based on everything in this thread, proximity to the law school should be a major factor in determining which school I should attend...

Question about those schools that are considered "partner friendly". I know every school claims this, but I feel there's a perception that some actually deliver on this claim (e.g. Tuck) better than to others.

I'm fairly young, and not really at a point in my life where I'm considering marriage. Truthfully, in terms of my lifestyle, I don't have very much in common with someone who is married, and am worried I might having a harder time relating to a married classmate. Is this something I need to be considering in choosing a school?

I realize it's typically the other way around (married folks worried about fitting in), so maybe it's ridiculous that I'm bringing this up. But seriously, will every girl be taken?

This thread is hella funny! Why did it stop?

I think we need to revive it for the '15 hopefuls! I'm a single female so I'm liking my odds Good call about mixing it up with other schools within the university. No need to worry about 2 years of awkward interactions if things don't work out.

Hmmmm. I'm getting the feeling there aren't many ladies on this forum...
