Need advice from experts

by sang5650 » Tue Jun 15, 2010 11:48 pm
Hi,

I currently have admits from two universities

1.University of washington, bothell
2.Seattle university

I scored a gmat score of 590 and have 4 years experience working in IT sector.My undergraduate was in BS Computer science. I took my TOEFL and scored 100/ 120.

My concern with the above universities is the tuition cost. The overall cost comes to around 52,500$. And I havent received any scholarships. I am looking for colleges in Washington area alone . Can you suggest any other colleges in WA area where the cost would be lesser than this?

My other concern is spending 50K , do you think it is really worth the money? As 50k is a huge amount I want to be sure it is totally worth before taking my decision. Am sure people browsing this site will be lot more experienced in these issues than I am , so your advice will really help me in taking a decision.

Please let me know what you feel.

Thanks n advance.

Have you thought about re-taking the GMAT for higher score? I know a lot of SU MBA grads and they don't seem to fare very well in the job market.

Yeah I had the same opinion about SU. But how about University of WA, Bothell. I have heard good things abt it.

Let me know your thoughts.

Please keep in mind that I am no expert on this subject matter.

I know that UW Bothell for the longest time was selling itself as simply UW, and a lot of its students were confused about that. But UW Bothell is an entirely different school, and I think people are beginning to differentiate that. I didn't even know they have a MBA program, but I know for fact that it is a very small school. I will venture to guess that this is a fairly new program, and it probably relies a lot on the curriculum of UW-Seattle.

I don't have any information on how the outside world perceives MBA from UW-Bothell, but personally I would consider SU over UW-Bothell if this is my only two choices. My reason being that SU's MBA program has at least been around for a while and presumably offer more in their classroom than a new program at UW-Bothell.
