Hey guys. I am in a slightly precarious situation and would appreciate any guidance anyone can offer.
I am on the verge of selling my family business and have applied to all my target B-Schools for Round 1. I am confident that I will get into one of the schools in my listing. So I have a couple of options at this point. I can either join a firm and work for the remaining 6 months or so before school starts, or I can take that time off to travel the world, learn a language etc., basically do stuff I always wanted to do but never had the time. Apart from the fact that the second option if far more appealing, I don't want to screw up my employer (To-be) by leaving in just 6 months.
My query is whether a break of 6 months be looked upon in bad light later in job interviews and also if B-Schools really care about what you do in the period between accepting the offer letter and starting classes. I mean do they require some additional documents at the time of matriculation?
It may seem too early to ask such questions, but this is a decision I have to take right now.
Really looking forward to some inputs. Thanks a lot!!!

Well, you don't really have an admissions offer in hand yet and keep that in mind. I would hate for you to be on the lower end for work experience, the interview or two relay that you quit your job and then have that impact admissions decision. If you have plenty of work experience then I think that it wouldn't be such a bad idea, but if you'd only have 2, 3 or maybe even 4 years then I'm not so sure. Ideal situation would be for you to travel the world learn a new language in the setting of doing community service. If you're in an over-represented group, this is important way you can set yourself apart. In a nutshell I would stay on course through the interview process and not let up until you actually have an admit letter in hand. Even if you're wait-listed I think that I would just make sure you have either a job or some really meaningful volunteer employment going on.

Hi Farrell,
Many thanks for your inputs. I have around 5 years of Work-Ex and a Masters Degree. I agree that it would make sense for me to hang on for a month or two till the decisions come out.
One last question; do B-Schools require one to submit some additional documents relating to what you did in the time between accepting the offer letter and beginning of classes, at the time of matriculation?
Again, thanks a lot.
