Hey everybody,
first time poster here, really love the site- you got a great thing going over here. There is so much inforamtion here that it actually gives me anxiety because I want to read it all and spend my whole day on here, but obviously can't afford to
I am seeing all the advice tailored towards MBA programs. The business school I want to attend, however, also offers an MST degree. The Master of Science in Taxation is waht I want to pursue.
An added caveat is the timing issue-I just decided that i really can't afford to waste another semester and need to get my application in by the April 1st deadline. I know my application is kind of last minute.
Does anybody know whether this timing issue applies only to MBA programs or to less competitive tax programs as well? Am I even correct in assuming that it is a less competitive program than the MBA program?
An the big question is, how are my chances of getting in? I just took my GMAT a couple of days ago and the unofficial report read 650- verbal in the 30's quant - 48. Does my itmnernational background justify the lower quant score?
-3 years work experience in the field for a few Fortune 500 companies
-BS double major in math and accounting from international university (just got diploma translated
and evaluated for a 3.5 GPA. My GPA before I transferred home from a top 25 school in NYC was 2.3 (horrible I know, but the only excuse I am going to mention in my essay is that the vices of the big city really overwhelmed this small country boy in his first attempt at undergrad
