Good Morning,

Good Afternoon,

Good Evening,

My name is Jamaal Hunt and I am currently a program specialist for a housing authority in MD. Right now I've made the big choice to change careers and obtain my MBA in accounting. A funny story happened to me while I was undergrad for Marketing. My Accounting professor noticed how well I was doing the courses and she asked me directly. "Would you be interested in changing your major, it seems you have a knack for this?" My exact line: "I dont want to crunch numbers for the rest of my life". Ironically, I currently do accounts payable and process transactions with a tax calculator for more than 3 years.

All jokes aside I really want to succeed and do very well. My GPA wasn't pretty in undergrad (less than 3.0). It is going to be tough and I am fully aware of this. So I must kick ass on this thing. I have no choice but to. I've read some of the strategies in preparing and practicing and I like the idea of getting up early to study before work and studying late after a workout.

Right now I have haven't started my research on schools yet. I do have a preference to stay locally in Maryland but if the opportunity knocks for me to attend one of the "premier" top schools. I wont say no at all.

As of now I have done alot of practicing math problems and suceeding very well thanks to a site called: khanacademy.org

That site is a great resource to get your math game down.

Anyway I'll be pretty much living in here posting alot so watch out.

Hi,

My name is shripriya. Moved to the US 6mnths ago and raring to get back to college. It's like getting back in action and achieving what I didn't earlier. Although i have a good 5yrs of work exp, my low UG gpa (like jamal's) compels me to beat-the-gmat and prove myself worthy of achieving whatever i want. It's tough studying w/o a tutor/coaching but i do hope this community keeps me occupied and gives me the classroom env i so so desire! Keeping my fingers crossed.

Lets do it!

Welcome Sharms, and thanks for that intro! Love your positive attitude.
