I'll be graduating with an engineering degree in May 2011 (GPA 3.0-3.1). Due to some personal issues, I don't really have an option to work for a couple of years and then get an MBA. If I want to get a Masters, I have to get it right out of college. The MS Finance program just isn't appealing to me because I don't want to study just Finance. I would like a well rounded management masters like the MBA. After extensive research I found a few programs like Duke University's and London Business School's Masters in Management program designed especially for non-business students with little or no work experience. I've been trying to do find more since I have little hope of getting into LBS and Duke with my average GPA but haven't had much luck yet. Please make suggestions if you know of other Universities that offer such programs.

Dear AA11,

I am currently a Masters in Management Candidate @ LBS.My GPA was 3.1, so with solid essays and a strong performance on the GMAT , you can definitely target DUKE , LBS , LSE , Imperial , HEC , IE , ESCP and other Top Schools which offer MiM Programs.

You can go to www.mymimapp.com for researching your target schools (Duke , LBS etc.)

Cheers!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
