Hi ahadi,

It is of great help to know what you are interesting in pursuing post-graduation, as this was allow to you to fully utilize a business school's resource.

This being said, it is also important to be open-minded, and to understand that you will be in a unique situation where you will meet peers of varying backgrounds and industries.

Even more than knowing exactly what you would like to specialize in, it is important to have self-awareness, and to understand what your likes and dislikes are.

Hope this was of help.

Cheers,
