Arnab-

Could you speak to, in general, how rigorous the first semester/year are at Johnson, especially for students coming from an unconventional (non finance/consulting) background. I am concerned about making it through, and getting up to speed, and being able to hit the ground running looking for internships. I still don't have a fully formed idea of what I want to focus on, but I definitely want to get involved in the entrepreneurship opportunities available at Johnson. However, the core does seem to concern me, so any pre-mba tips about how to be ready to excel are greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
