“What is Experiential Learning?” Experiential learning is an engaged learning process whereby students “learn by doing” and by reflecting on the experience. Within an MBA program, experiential learning can be a vital piece of the curriculum for both career switchers and career boosters alike, as both sets of students can bring more real-life experiences into the MBA curriculum while still in school. Clear Admit partnered with the University of Georgia’s Terry College of Business to discuss this topic and more in a recent webinar event. We spoke about different ways the Terry MBA program helps students apply academic theory

GPA: 3.0
Years of Work Experience: 6
Location: Perú
Post MBA Location: USA, Europe
Notes:
I'm an international MBA applicant from Peru with approximately 7 years of experience in M&A and corporate finance across the energy, consumer goods, and financial advisory sectors.
I hold a B.S. in Economics from Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (UNMSM), where I graduated in the top third of my class with a GPA of 14.2/20.
I started my career in Deal Advisory at KPMG, followed by M&A and Corporate Venture Capital at Alicorp. I'm currently an M&A Associate at Luz del Sur, a leading Peruvian electricity utility, where I've worked on renewable energy acquisitions totaling approximately US$780M, including wind and solar assets. My experience spans valuation, financial modeling, due diligence, transaction structuring, and SPA negotiations.
Outside work, I'm involved with NetvalU, a nonprofit helping public university students pursue careers in finance.
**Post-MBA Goals:** My primary goal is to transition into Private Equity, ideally focusing on energy, infrastructure, or energy transition investments in the US or Europe. I'm particularly interested in infrastructure funds and investment platforms focused on acquiring, developing, and managing energy assets. Alternatively, I would consider Investment Banking, particularly within Power & Utilities, Energy, or Infrastructure coverage groups, as a pathway toward a long-term career in investing.
I'd appreciate feedback on my competitiveness for top MBA programs, particularly considering my international background, academic record, and professional experience. I'm especially interested in understanding how realistic a direct transition into PE or infrastructure investing would be, which schools provide the strongest opportunities in this space, and whether my target school list is appropriately balanced.
