Hello Stacy,
First, a quick background info. I possess B.Sc. in Biology and M.A. in Computer Science from Brandeis University. I started my career at a educational software company, quickly rising to position of Technical Project Manager. At the same time I became part-owner of family's start-up, and this year we've secured granting of patent from USPTO. Currently I work at a large publishing company, where I am not sufficiently challenged and where my drive and ambitions do not align with the company's structure and latest developments.
Thus I've started studying for GMAT as of last October/November, and I plan to take it on May 3rd. I plan to apply to part-time programs at Babson, Boston College, Boston University, and NYU Stern weekends-only program, to start this fall 2008. I plan to hit 700+ on the test.
The question is, should I still strive for part-time MBA or if I score really well, should I wait and apply for full-time MBA? After conducting the cost/benefit analysis, I've arrived to the conclusion that financially part-time MBA is far better option for me. However, I am concerned re: employment opportunities, as I am strongly considering switching the industries - I'd like to get into financial sector or consulting sector before I start my own company.
Thanks,
