McGill looks for students who have a sense of curiosity, who hope to work with others, we also look for academic strength, and leadership as seen through work or other experience.
Most of our students already of considerable career experience, with an average age of 34. So we are really looking for people who can contribute to the classroom discuss and to the learning of their colleagues.

Director of McGill MBA Japan
As they say, crisis brings opportunity. And the opportunity is best taken by those who are well-prepared. A candidate in an MBA program would be focusing on the drastically changing demands of individuals and organizations, and whole countries. The financial system that grew over the past 10 years or so is gone, the manufacturing organizations and value chains that developed over the past 25 years are under extreme stress, and non-governmental and development organizations have a whole new set of expectations being placed on them.
A person doing an MBA now indicates that they are ready for the changes coming up, and ready to take part in the wave of entrepreneurial activity that I am sure is coming.
