As the title says- I was a first year MBA student last year. About a month in, I had some health issues that quickly worsened. It became pretty clear that I wouldn't be able to continue with school that year, so I took a leave of absence and restarted the program this year.
I might be making a bigger deal out of this than I should be, but I'm worried about how this will look on my resume. I essentially have a year where I didn't "do" anything. I was mainly taking care of my health and making sure I would be ready to go back to school this year.
How should I address this during coffee chats and formal interviews? Will I be dinged for having this year where I didn't work/wasn't in school? How much detail should I, or will I be expected to provide?
Sorry if this isn't the right forum for this. And thanks in advance for your help!
