For months, sometimes years, MBA applicants focus almost exclusively on getting in. Test scores. Essays. Interviews. School selection. But once that admit call comes through and the celebration fades, reality sets in. Tuition bills arrive. Living expenses loom. And suddenly, the question isn’t “Will I get into my dream school?” but “How am I actually going to afford this?”
To help unpack the numbers, the options, and the strategy behind financing an MBA, host Graham Richmond welcomes Chris Abkarians, co-founder of Juno, to a special episode of the Clear Admit MBA Admissions Podcast. Chris is a graduate of Harvard Business School’s MBA Class of 2020 and an entrepreneur working at the intersection of education and finance. Prior to business school, he worked in media and entertainment at Netflix, and since graduating, he’s helped thousands of students navigate the complex world of student loans and MBA funding.
In this episode, Chris covers:
- the true cost of a top MBA program and how students typically finance it
- what’s happening in the GradPLUS loan market
- average borrowing amounts, current interest rates, and what monthly repayments might actually look like after graduation
- the unique challenges faced by international students
- how Juno works
…and more!
If you’ve been admitted, are planning to apply, or are simply wondering whether the cost of business school makes sense for you, this is an episode you won’t want to miss. Tune in below, and then get in touch with Juno.
