Dear everyone,
first of all thanks for taking the time to read this and for any advice offered. It really is greatly appreciated.
I have two main questions from which several sub-questions arise:
1. Should I pursue a Master in Management after my undergraduate is finished or an MBA at a later point?
2. I have a somewhat unique background: I needed 2 years longer for my undergraduate degree than normally (family/personal reasons) – to what degree will this damage my applications regarding MBA’s or MiMs?
Bit of background: I am really torn between what to do with my career/life at this point. I am currently a junior at an Ivy-League type school but have needed two years out in between due to personal/family-related issues. I have done a few internships and have a job-offer lined up already which I am willing to accept. The problem now is that due to my long undergraduate degree, I am unsure of whether to pursue a MiM now so to make my timeline look a bit better or alternatively do a MBA a couple of years down the road. As explained above I fear that the two extra years will damage my application for either choice. The additional dimension coming into play is that I personally have no preference: I think I would feel comfortable in both programs and this is really all about which one makes more sense. Further, since I already have an employment opportunity I am willing to take, I would appreciate a program which might be a bit more relaxed. I also have quite some work experience (roughly 8-9 months) under my belt due to taking 2 years out as well as interning most summers during college. Regarding MiM’s I have been looking at the HEC and LBS; MBAs I have researched are Insead and the typical Ivy League ones. I don't really want to pursue both and a PhD is not what interests me either at the moment. Any advice here on what to do would be greatly appreciated :/
P.S.: I hope this fits into this subforum; it didn't seem to fit anywhere else.

Thanks for sharing your profile.
From what you have shared, you need to consider how your employment opportunity will allow you to grow, and how it fits with your long-term career goals. It may be a good foundation for you or it may expose you to more experiences that allow you to better define your personal development goals. If the career opportunity would do so, then it may be a good idea to work the next few years, before going for an MBA.
You would also have the opportunity to prepare and build a strong application profile that fits your target programs.
Wish you all the best and look forward to your updates.

An MBA or a Masters in Management? This is a question that almost every college senior comes across at some point of the application process when deciding on the future. The dilemma is clear: MBA v/s Masters in Management is essentially about whether one should one opt for the Masters in Management immediately after the undergraduate program or wait for a few years to apply for the MBA (For those wondering if there are any options to go for an MBA right after college, the answer is YES.)
Outside the early entry options to top MBA programs, applicants therefore have two clear options – an MiM now or an MBA later. The confusion at this stage really stems from wondering whether the MiM is good enough to be a final degree and will substitute well enough for the MBA. Here are some points comparing the two programs (MiM v/s MBA) to give applicants a better picture of the key decision parameters:
– Academic content [the MBA is more advanced]: In terms of the academic skills and learning on offer, the MBA offers more advanced courses and more industry-centric opportunities (the HEC Master in Management is an exception in this regard – it is very comparable to an MBA). The MiM, in this regard, is considered to be less practical and more theoretical. This does not mean that the MiM is deficient in offering core business education, but only that some of the more advanced courses may not typically be available at MiM programs.
