Question 2.
After working hard on MBA entrance exam preparations for one year, Aarya received an admission offer from the two-year agribusiness program of a premier business school. While she aspired to be a part of that premier business school, she had no interest in agribusiness. While deliberating, she received an offer from a brand new, but buzzworthy, global one-year executive MBA program in General Management, in a mid-tier business school. The program boasted excellent placement for its first batch of students. While the program was typically geared towards students with a considerable industry experience, being new, it also allowed some exceptions for “well-deserving students” with little or no experience.
Aarya was worried whether, being a candidate with a minimal experience, she would be a good fit in the executive MBA program. Which of the following considerations would BEST help Aarya in taking admission in the one-year executive MBA program?
A
The executive MBA program offers generous scholarships to women with IT experience.
B
Aarya does not have the confidence to spend another year in MBA entrance-exam preparation.
C
The agribusiness program is not the flagship program of the premier business school.
D
Aarya has a better chance of furthering her career in a field of her interest through the executive MBA program.
Question Explanation
Text ExplanationVideo Explanation
Among the given choices, only Option D best aligns with Aarya's aspirations, as it highlights that the one-year executive MBA program offers an opportunity to further her career in a field that she is interested in, unlike the agribusiness program, which does not align with her career goals.
None of the other choices offer a compelling reason to select a particular program. For example, while the scholarship mentioned in Option A could be a financial incentive, it does not directly address Aarya’s main concern: whether the program is a good fit for her and her long-term career goals.
Similarly, the consideration in Option B reflects Aarya’s lack of confidence, but it does not focus on the core question of whether the one-year executive MBA program is the best option for her career. While avoiding another year of exam prep might be appealing, it’s more of a personal emotional response and does not necessarily lead to the most strategic or fitting choice for her professional growth.
Option C compares the agribusiness program with another program but doesn’t address Aarya’s lack of interest in agribusiness. The fact that it is not the flagship program is secondary to the main issue: Aarya’s disinterest in the subject matter of the program. A good fit for her interests and career goals should be the main consideration. Option E is also tangential: what matters more is whether the program will offer Aarya the tools and career trajectory she seeks, not just its popularity.
