Lisa,
I am interested in Tuck, Wharton, Yale, Sloan and Darden. I would appreciate if you could answer the following questions with those schools in mind.
1. How much of a disadvantage is an undergraduate degree from a lightly regarded, southern, state university like Arkansas, Kentucky, Alabama or Tennessee? Can this be easily overcome with a 700+ GMAT?
2. Do you have any experience with architects applying to MBA programs and, if so, was that background an advantage, disadvantage or a non-factor? Are architects an under-represented demographic at business schools or are they grouped with engineers?
3. How much of a business background is expected? Should applicants with non-business backgrounds enroll in a couple of courses at a local university prior to applying?
Thanks!
