Hi everyone,
I'm in Graduate School right now studying Systems Engineering. I know that I would eventually like to get my MBA becasue with a buisness and systems background I feel like i would be indespensible at a major consulting firm.
Anyway B-School is at least two to three years away. The question on my mind is, from here, where do I go? Im new to this site and I would like to see if you had any suggestions for people that know an MBA is what they want but dont know really where to start. A Road Map if you will. Time isnt an issue, say i have two years till Id be ready to apply. Here are my current stats:
Undergrad GPA (BSEE): 2.6 (last 60cr was 3.3)top 20 school
Masters GPA (MS SE): will graduate in a year worst case 3.8
Based in US but will be working in Spain on a transfer for a year.
work exp 5yrs(When i apply)
I should have my PE by then
I know there is more to it but do you think a school like Darden or possibly Sloan will look past my 2.6 in undergrad because of my masters and foreign experience? Or does this stuff matter? I wouldnt even consider going unless I had a chance at a top 20 school i think. I dont really know how to decipher what the MBA programs say are their admission reqs. Other than beating the GMAT what are some things that people can improve on in two years?
