They will immediately be in a classroom here doing a case, says Dee Leopold, Harvard Business Schools director of admissions. They will have had a case sent to them before; they will be hitting the ground running.
Many business schools also have a gender imbalance, says Linda Scott, theDP World Chair for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Sad Business School, University of Oxford. Why? Mostly, I think its because the environment is fairly hostile, she says.
