Notes:
My goal is to start a search fund and I want to stay local (and go to Wharton) or do an online MBA as a backup.
I’m an Infantry officer in the National Guard which is why I need to apply for 2027 even though I’m older (33). I have training in the fall of 2026 that I can’t reschedule. I did 3 years of assurance at Deloitte and I am now a senior manager/VP at First Citizens bank. I’m about to ask my company if they would help finance either an online MBA or eMBA, both of which I think can help me start an entrepreneurship path.
