Intellectual capital is an interesting term-- and one that I would say has a lot of different definitions in different circles. The definition that makes the most sense to me is the one that describes it much like the intangibles or "good will" of a business. I guess when the definition is put that way, it becomes clear that intellectual capital is about the only reason i attended Tepper. The amazing faculty were the initial draw, and the amazing students are what kept me engaged.
When I leave here, i don't think I am going to remember this place for the beauty of the building, the abundance of workspace, or even the classrooms. I think what will stand out the most are the experiences I've had with truly brilliant people who have impacted my life very significantly. It never was, and never is about, the the typical criteria for me. Just like entrepreneurship, a lot of the MBA experience is about the team you work with.
