1.Do your homework: Researching your dream company before you start your M.B.A. can help provide clarity and direction, says Kevin Lieberum, a first-year M.B.A. student at Washington University in St. Louis's Olin Business School.
2.Look to the past: The majority of business school students have some prior work experience, business school officials say. Analyzing what you liked—and disliked—about your pre-M.B.A. employment can help students hone in on a concentration, says Friedfeld of the Haas School of Business.
3. Be bold: Students unsure of their direction often hesitate to explore opportunities and pathways, says Fox from Olin Business School.
4. Embrace change: Nothing is set in stone, Fox notes.
5. Follow your passion: Let your natural interests guide you and the concentration will fall into place, says Peggy Bishop Lane, deputy vice dean of the graduate division at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

Is there such a thing as a right time to apply for an M.B.A.? Many prospective b-school applicants confront this question when they feel that their current career trajectory has stalled. For others, pursuing an M.B.A. straight out of undergrad is a no brainer, as they avoid putting their lives on hold for two years—and forgoing a potentially significant salary to do so.
First up, make sure your head is in the game. Business school admittedly includes its fair share of cocktail-fueled socials and late-night carousing, but most people will tell you that they've never been busier, or slept less, than when in b-school. Between classes, quizzes, team meetings, recruiting, clubs, and a veritable smorgasbord of special events, the life of an M.B.A. student can seem like a nonstop circus act.
Taking two years to get an M.B.A. is not just a business decision, it's a life decision that may include the interests of boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands, wives, and children. Do you have the discipline to balance the grueling workload of an M.B.A. program with your existing work or personal obligations?
On the bright side, GMAC's 2012 Alumni Perspectives Survey reports that on average, alumni across all participating graduation years recouped one third of their financial investment in their graduate degree immediately after graduation, and saw a 100 percent return on investment after four years.
