Advice and suggestions on school

by layzzer » Wed Jul 21, 2010 1:02 pm
Hello everyone,

I've just took the gmat for the second time and score 680, quant 46, verb 37, was hoping for 700 but what can you do, since that was my second gmat, don't think I will be going for a third. My background is in apparel production/design for 3 years, 27 years old, graduated with degrees in computer science and international business and minors in chinese and fashion design and am looking for a career change with this MBA.

What I think I want is a school with a good program and a good reputation of international-ness. I am Chinese and moved to the U.S. when I was twelve and have a great interest in working in a global company with opportunities to travel (to China or anywhere). Interested in a general international business mba coupled with management or finance to solidify the degree. (My undergrad of international business was a bit of a fluff and I felt just having only a international business degree is not as solid as other specializations such as finance or accounting.)

Perhaps someone can point me to a website or some books on rankings schools with good MBA international programs. Given my gmat score of 680, my iffy working background in apparel (no management experience) and what I imagine a not so unique Chinese-ness, I am aiming for 2nd tier schools.

So far I've considered OSU Fisher and Fordham, both have international programs and I think I can get into either schools. What kind of research would you guys recommend? Any help/pointer would be appreciated.

Thank you

While I can't speak to a lot of that, I can speak to Ohio State being extremely receptive to prospective students, at least in my experience. After requesting information from OSU they actually call you, and you have a conversation with an admissions person. I thought it was a real step up from the usual packet of information that is really just marketing info and flashy pictures of kids walking around campus and guys holding pens as they explain things, because that's what a young business man looks like. (Especially DePaul's - which is just a postcard that says "Come visit us!") Anyway, when they called me I had a 30 minute conversation with the admissions rep and have talked briefly over email. I say just give them a call, the woman I got to speak with was very friendly and helpful.

He is clear in what He asks and clear in what He offers. The choice is up to us.Isn't it incredible that <a href="https://www.asianescortsny.com">NY escort</a> God leaves the choice up to us? Think about it. There are many things in life we can't choose. We can't, for <a href="https://www.asianescortsny.com">NY escorts</a> example, choose the weather. We can't control the economy.We can't choose whether or not we are <a href="https://www.asianescortsny.com">NY asian escort</a> born with a big nose or blue eyes or a lot hair. We can't even choose how people respond to us. But we <a href="https://www.asianescortsny.com">NY asian escorts</a> can choose where we spend eternity.
