Is it a good time to pursue my MBA?

by MarkPaul » Fri Apr 01, 2011 11:52 am
Hi everyone,

Recently, the learning curve at work has fallen off and I seek greater opportunities with increased responsibilities and more challenging work. I am seriously entertaining the idea of getting my MBA and my goal would be to attend a top 20 business school full-time. My background is as follows.

I graduated from Syracuse University in 2008 with a double major in Finance and Marketing and a GPA of 3.2. I have 3 years of corporate finance and strategic marketing experience with a Fortune 100 Company in the retail sector. I have a strong interest in the consumer retail and financial sectors and would most likely seek post graduate opportunities in corporate financial management or consumer retail investment banking. Some of my other experience includes being a CFA Level 2 candidate and a prior internship at Merrill Lynch.

Is it is a good time to pursue my MBA or would my application benefit from more experience?

Thanks!

Mark
