I’m sure many of
you have heard just how busy business school students are, but what does a
typical day look like as an MBA student? To help shed some light on this topic,
I’ve outlined a typical day in my life as a first-year student at the UCLA
Anderson of Management.
7:00am: Wake up
(after hitting the snooze buttons a few times), shower and prepare my business
formal outfit for recruiting activities later that day.
7:45am: Leave
apartment in Santa Monica with 3 granola bars, 1 banana, my backpack and
suit/heels.
8:30am: Arrive
at first ACT (Anderson Career Team) team meeting, focused on consulting. ACT
teams are led by two second-year students and focus on industry-related prep
(e.g. consulting, marketing etc.).
10:00am: Attend
second ACT team meeting, focused on marketing.
11:30am: Change
into business casual outfit, and join talk with Dean Olian sponsored WBC
(Women’s Business Connection). Eat lunch!
12:45pm: Attend
Communications class on Personal Branding.
2:30pm: Attend
Marketing class on Targeting and Positioning.
4:15pm: Meet
with Learning Team to review Statistics case and Economics problem set.
6:30pm: Change
into business formal and attend MCA (Management Consulting Association) Fall
Firm Kick-Off.
8:30pm: Drive
back to Santa Monica, drop by Whole Foods to pick up food to-go for dinner.
9:00pm: Arrive
back home. Eat dinner while studying for Accounting.
10:30pm: Unwind
with some dessert and take a quick walk with my boyfriend to our nearest
Pinkberry.
11:30pm: Come
back home and SLEEP!
So there you
have it. A typical day in the life of a first-year business school student. As
you can see, lots to look forward to!
