Set theory is an often overlooked avenue of explaining complex things in a simple manner, rather than its current form, which terrorizes young math majors by making simple things more complex. In this article, I’d like to look at the two most popular operations, the ‘union’ and the ‘intersection’, and how exactly it relates to a business school experience
“A set is a many that allows itself to be thought of as a one”
Our innate and primal urge to socialize and create communities, one of humanity’s biggest
strengths, finds its way of
paying dividends, especially in the context of a business school.
A collection of accomplished individuals from different geographies, ethnicities,
educational
and professional
backgrounds create a cocktail perfect to conduce the most important element in a business
school
- peer learning.
Graduating from an epoch of traditional business schools keeping ‘academic output’ as the
central metric of success, we
see new-age, non-traditional business schools moving away from the beaten (read trodden)
path
towards thinking of newer
avenues as major takeaways for students from their university experiences.
Options overload, choice paralysis and all the other names it’s been called, we clearly face
an inability to act when
faced with too many choices or too much information.
The clearest path
forward is to
simplify.
Applying this to the use-case of postgraduate education, we need to demand more relevance
and simplicity from our
curriculum. Pro tip: a good decision before choosing your postgraduate destination would
definitely include going
through the course curriculum to see if what you’re studying lines up with your career goals
Business school provides you with the optimal synthesis of material - what to study in
detail, what to study briefly,
what kind of tools do you need to use, access to research/labs for more interested students
- this is the kind of soft
architecture a
business school can provide. But more importantly, it
provides you with
the access to the union.
An ecosystem fashioned by a union of future
industry leaders,
complemented with a curriculum that exists at the
intersection of the past, present and future. That’s the golden ticket that Willy Wonka
found in the chocolate bar.
The Round 1 deadline of admissions is on the 23rd of January, so if you’re someone who has
read this far and hasn’t
started your application, you should really be doing so here.
