Transfer schools? I need your opinion

by Danyah » Fri Mar 09, 2012 12:00 pm
Hi,

I have been accepted in University of Scranton (UofS) and Seattle Pacific University (SPU), and I be would appreciated if I could get an expert opinion regarding both graduate school for the MBA program.

This is actually my first semester in UofS. I like the program so far but one thing worries me though is the professors in the concentration in Finance since I want to do my focus in Finance. I haven't heard positive reviews about them as I am taking with one of them right now. On the other hand, SPU waived 30 credit hours out of the 72, including the classes of this semester.

Now, I am a Saudi full time student. I worked as a full-time Financial Analyst with a Saudi start-up financial advisory firm for almost two years and the main task was preparing feasibility studies, which consists of developing financial statements, analyzing the market for the sector of the projects and the economy overall. I also worked as a part-time Sub Purchasing and Contracting Admin in Logistic department with a Saudi big corporation for another two years. My work was mainly dealing with local and foreign invoices, as well as following up with vendors.

Additionally, I did an internship at UBS in Seattle for four months and I was mainly working on mutual funds analysis and CSR reports. I also did some volunteer jobs here and there and took some business certificates.

I did my undergraduate program in a college called College of Business Administration (CBA) in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in Finance. I got a high GPA and basic fair knowledge about business and finance in Specific, yet when I graduated, I felt it was a little bit difficult to implement what I had studied in real life. Therefore, I am looking for the program which would fill this gap. A program which would utilize all my effort as well as help me increase my knowledge in Finance. A program that would prepare me to work in a multinational financial corporation in the Middle East, and would engage me with the events and the opportunities with surrounded corporations.

Thanks!
