Profile: White male, late-30's, mixed career from entertainment to corporate communications to non-profit, planning on getting MBA to switch to venture capital. Already accepted at two top twenty Executive MBA weekend programs.
A few months ago, I had been admitted to one of the NY area executive MBA programs, where I have been planning on starting in January. My plan was to work full time while getting my MBA. My organization was supportive even though they knew I would use b-school to switch careers.
In a completely unrelated event (for lack of funding), I was let go last week from my job. I can support myself for the next couple of years while I go to school and look for new work.
Here are my questions to those familiar with these programs:
Do I have an obligation to tell the school that I lost my job? Would I be in jeopardy of losing my seat? Would they suggest I re-apply for a full time program (not my preference)?
I plan on speaking with career services upon my arrival in January, but wanted to collect advice prior to doing so. Thank you all for your help.
