All,
I'm an introvert about to get an MBA, and was wondering how other introverts have planned their B-school experience to play up their strengths? How have other introverts managed the demands of group work with the awesomeness of alone time?
For further background on myself, during my MBA my top personal goal is improving communication skills, so I want to take full advantage of the group setting but avoid burn out. I did read Quiet by Susan Cain, but found it had little practical advice of what introverts can do to thrive in different settings.
Thanks!

With group works, I believe you will do just fine. I think the biggest disadvantage for introverts is in networking and doing small talks with company representatives. It may be helpful to practice some of these skills before going to business school.

Thanks for sharing.
I agree with the above advice, I believe you will eventually be able to adjust to group work and the different personalities involved. While being more comfortable to do small talk with company representatives and even with cohorts will help enrich your experience. Learning these beforehand by practicing or reading books could help during your MBA and after.
Wish you all the best!
