The Veteran MBA Playbook: A Candid Q&A on Admissions, ROI, & Career Paths [8/18/2026] (Recording)

Join us for The Veteran MBA Playbook: A Candid Q&A on Admissions, ROI, & Career Paths, an engaging live conversation built to help service members and veterans cut through the confusion and decide whether an MBA is truly the right next move. This is not a generic admissions presentation. It is a candid, practical discussion about what an MBA can actually do for your career, how to choose the right program, and how to avoid costly mistakes before applying. Attendees will learn how to evaluate the real return on investment of an MBA, determine the best timing and program format, translate military leadership into language admissions teams and employers understand, and compare full-time, part-time, executive, and dual-degree options. The session will also explore career opportunities for veterans, school reputation, alumni networks, job placement, Post-9/11 GI Bill and Yellow Ribbon benefits, hidden program costs, and whether factors such as rank, MOS, or quantitative experience affect admission. Whether you are actively preparing to apply or simply wondering whether an MBA belongs in your future, this livestream will give you clearer answers, greater confidence, and direct access to professionals who understand both MBA admissions and the military-to-civilian transition. Join UVA Darden admissions leader Brett Twitty and veteran executive coach Patrick “Paddy” Weeks for a moderated Q&A on Tuesday, August 18, 2026, from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. ET. Bring your questions and leave with a stronger game plan for your education and career.
