help with MBA choice needed

by gmat-challenger » Wed Mar 23, 2011 9:42 am
Hello,

Let me introduce myself. I am in the 670-710 GMAT area. I am from Bulgaria and I have a bachelor of business administration (major in Finance) from International University in Germany. A really good school with a program taught completely in English. My GPA is around 3.20. I am 26 and I graduated in 2006. I have been working as a daytrader on the US Markets for the last 4 years. I was part of the soccer team, while studying, won the MarkStrat game (marketing simulation game) organized at my university and have worked for more than 1 year in the admission department at the university.

I would like to make an MBA or Ms in Finance and I am looking for a university in the following states - Florida, California, New York, Chicago. There is just one minor problem - even though I will be able to cover my living expenses without a problem, I will not be able to cover the whole portion of the tuition fees. Therefore, I am looking for a university, which combines acceptable tuition fees and availability of scholarships.

I would much appreciate an advice and opinion for an MBA, based on my results, qualities, preferences and limitations. I don't know if I have higher chances of getting a scholarships at a more prestigious university with higher costs of tuition or at a less prestigious but with much lower tuition fees.

Regards,
Zlati

P.S. For now my choices are - University of Miami, UCF, Barry, FIU, PACE, Adelphi, San Francisco State University but I would like to narrow them down.

Hello, Zlati,

I think you would have a quite reasonable shot at scholarships at the schools you mention. Also, The City University of New York (CUNY)Baruch College has an MBA program at its Zicklin School that is relatively affordable, and it also offers scholarships.
