If you were my client, I'd engage in a discussion with you to understand more about why you are pursuing the degree and what kind of jobs you had in mind when you decided to return to school.
My first question - one that only you can answer, so I'm thinking out loud - why are you pursuing MBA with emphasis in Business Analytics? What made you go back to school; what kind of job do you want to pursue? During your 2 years working, did you realize you'd rather be working with data than directly with customers? OR do you want to leverage your analytical ability while still working in a customer-facing role? Do you like to manage people, or are you better at working alone? Are you a good project manager, taking a project from cradle to grave and managing cross-functionally? I'm asking all of these questions because it's good to really understand what your best skills are, as they will help you find a position that you love. Use these as a basis for discussion with a career advisor/counselor at the career center at your school.
