<p>Hello. I'm currently a senior in college, set to graduate in May. I was admitted to Harvard Business School as a two year deferred admit meaning I will matriculate in Fall of 2010 for the HBS class of 2012.</p>
<p>My undergraduate major is mechanical engineering and I received a National Defense Science and Engineering Fellowship which will pay for up to three years of engineering school for me.</p>
<p>I was thinking about completing an MS in mechanical at Stanford, beginning this fall. This would take me one year. </p>
<p>I would like to know the effect this would have on me getting a top job after HBS due to the fact that I would have only 1 year of Work Experience at most.</p>
<p>Also, I think I'd like to work the street for a while after HBS but eventually might get back into running an Engineering firm where I feel the MSME would be useful?</p>
<p>I would appreciate your thoughts.</p>
