" Visit the schools that you are most interested in. What you learn from your classmates and the doors they open for you is an integral part of a business degree. You have to be excited about the people you will meet at your school."

"Find women in your network - friends, co-workers, or others with similar interests or ambitions, and discuss your experiences, ideas, and concerns."
