Hi,

I currently have admits from two universities

1.University of washington, bothell
2.Seattle university

I scored a gmat score of 590 and have 4 years experience working in IT sector.My undergraduate was in BS Computer science. I took my TOEFL and scored 100/ 120.

My concern with the above universities is the tuition cost. The overall cost comes to around 52,500$. And I havent received any scholarships. I am looking for colleges in Washington area alone . Can you suggest any other colleges in WA area where the cost would be lesser than this?

My other concern is spending 50K , do you think it is really worth the money? As 50k is a huge amount I want to be sure it is totally worth before taking my decision. Am sure people browsing this site will be lot more experienced in these issues than I am , so your advice will really help me in taking a decision.

Please let me know what you feel.

Thanks n advance.

Have you thought about re-taking the GMAT for higher score? I know a lot of SU MBA grads and they don't seem to fare very well in the job market.

Please keep in mind that I am no expert on this subject matter.

I know that UW Bothell for the longest time was selling itself as simply UW, and a lot of its students were confused about that. But UW Bothell is an entirely different school, and I think people are beginning to differentiate that. I didn't even know they have a MBA program, but I know for fact that it is a very small school. I will venture to guess that this is a fairly new program, and it probably relies a lot on the curriculum of UW-Seattle.

I don't have any information on how the outside world perceives MBA from UW-Bothell, but personally I would consider SU over UW-Bothell if this is my only two choices. My reason being that SU's MBA program has at least been around for a while and presumably offer more in their classroom than a new program at UW-Bothell.

"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."
