Got my GED at 18, then went on to a for profit school (DeVry University) graduated with a B.S. in network and Communication Mangt. Have not found a job in the field. Planning on taking the GMAT. I'm afraid that my past education did not give me a strong enough background to tackle such a task. Has anyone been through this and can anyone share their experience. Can anyone help me with a strategy for preparing for the GMAT. Is B-School for me?
jmontalvo1973,
It comes down to how bad you want it. Have you asked yourself why you want an MBA? Once you have decided you want it bad enough and answered (honestly!) why you want the degree, then it comes down to how hard are you are willing to work. Smart is not part of the equation. True, some folks are smarter than others, but that does not mean they can accomplish more than you. Some of us just have to work harder.
Take a look at some of the offered (and required) classes at the schools you want to go to. This will give you an idea of what you might be getting yourself into. Still interested? Time to put in the work.
Hope this helps and good luck!
