\"U.S.<\/a>According to a recent Bloomberg Businessweek<\/em> article<\/a>, if you are a returning military veteran<\/a> who wants to apply to b-school, then \"now is a good time to be you.\"<\/p>\n

Numerous business schools, including top schools like Dartmouth Tuck<\/a> and Notre Dame Mendoza<\/a>, are recruiting vets and offering them tuition breaks or specialized ex-military programs.<\/p>\n

One school is going so far as to recruit military veterans before<\/em> they even become veterans. Indiana's Kelley School of Business<\/a> is encouraging ROTC students (i.e. ones that are still in college) to apply to b-school before they begin their army stints. If they are accepted to Kelley, then their spots will be held until they return from their tours of duty.<\/p>\n

What the students\/vets get out of this is clear \u2013 a guaranteed spot in a top MBA program<\/a> before<\/em> they have any work\/army experience. But what does the school get out of it? According to the BW <\/em>article, they get to prove that they are vet-friendly; but more than that, they receive the benefit of having fantastic leaders on campus. As Ray Luther, the director of recruiting and leadership<\/a> at Kelley, says: \u201cYoung junior military officers have leadership experience and emotional intelligence that are beyond their peers.\u201d<\/p>\n
