Hi Rob,

You are looking to apply in 2 or 3 years? I think it's a little early to start worrying about what schools you will target. Both the schools' data and your life will change quite a bit in the next few years, so I don't feel comfortable telling you what schools to target that far into the future.

At this point in your life I think it makes a lot of sense to work, get an idea of what you like and don't like about your job and refine your career goals. If you're interested in finance, see what you can learn from the finance group at work. Maybe go for a job in finance next. Continue to work towards your goals, seek increased reponsibility at work, and volunteer.

Good luck!

I'd really like your advice though! I aim at eing admitted to a FT top 100 mba, and I aim specifically at University of Pittsburh, Rice University, Brigham Young University and Georgia Tech: are these on my reach?
thanks!

Hi Rob,

I think those schools are realistic for you at the moment. If all stays the same for the next two to three years, they will likely be realistic in the future as well.

Good luck!
