GMAT score: 750
academic background: san jose state university, major in MIS w/ an overall GPA of 3.05 only and 3.5 major GPA
2 years of web administrator exp. and 3 years of analyst exp. at a finanacial institution.
(i wonder if currently studying in CFA helps?)

i'd to choose a MBA program with intensive quant. analysis in or around the state of california. is UCLA a good choice? do i have a chance to get in? if not, can i target at USC?

Given that i have a IT-related technical background, does it increase my chance of getting into MBA information system program over other MBA programs? Or it does not make a difference if i apply for MBA finance or MBA IS at UCLA?

THank you so much for your help!

Hello,

UCLA would be a good bet, as would Haas and Marahall - all programs will have strong quantitative components. Gaining CFA credential will always help - but be sure to tie it to your goal or otherwise indicate how the learning will be helpful and relevant.

The answer to your second question would depend on your goals - that is what would be most important for the MBA IS program -if the program supports your goals, then having a relevant background would certainly help. They get many people with IT backgrounds overall so I don't think it would necessarily give you an edge.
