Hi Team,

I'm seeking recommendations on Executive MBA programs in the T20 range that focus on Entrepreneurship through Acquisition(electives/focus areas). I plan on applying this fall and starting in###-###-#### I am currently looking at Booth and Wharton, but I am open to others if there is a strong emphasis. I looked at Reddit threads and other blogs, but I figured this would be the best place to ask! Thanks!

I attended Booth before they embraced ETA, before they were "Booth" and before ETA was a formal discipline. However, I ran several businesses for private equity, and started up a few, before I bought my way into the full ETA experience. The thing that prepared me best had very little to do with my formal education, and had everything to do with operating businesses, managing people, cultivating vendors and figuring out the things I did not understand. My recommendation, for what it's worth, is to get your education while you earn a living, on the job and through the great podcasts/websites/chats like this one. Be confident, jump in, and trust that you're smart enough to figure out the things you don't know.
