I recently found out I was denied admission to the MBA programs to which I applied(UC Davis, UNC, & Emory) I currently work in the back office for a financial services firm. 3.5 GPA, 155 Math and 154 Verbal on GRE. My career goal is to work in sales for a buy side money management firm. What other avenues or strategies can one use to break into the buy side without an MBA or CFA? Do I relocate to major financial services city such as NYC, LA, San Fran, Boston or Chicago or change career paths? What other b schools should I consider adding to my list for a career in sales at a money management firm? I am considering a career in the pharmaceutical industry as a sales rep as Plan B since the transition to the buy side has not materialized. Thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated.

Well really MF or MBA is the way to go... What about taking some time to retake the GRE or better yet do the GMAT and beat the heck out of it? Is that an option?

I will retake the GRE and improve my score. I applied to Emory, UNC, and UC Davis? What other business schools should I consider for a career in asset management?

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
