UCLA is a top ranked school and generally a top five part time program. You can't go wrong there because travel will not be as big of a concern. Going to Chicago will mean traveling over halfway through the country presumably every other week and it will be expensive to do such travel, so that needs...

money9111, thank you for clarifying what the Consortium was. Around Washington, the "Consortium" term is used as well, but for universities that allow its students to take classes at other institutions. It was confusing me for a bit. As for Hispanic, any race can claim that heritage if the...

Thanks for this. It wasn't for you, I would have had no idea about the integrated section. Now I'm totally freaking out, as my test is scheduled for after the introduction date. UGH! Just something else I need to start studying. Thank you for the advice though. :) I wouldn't worry about IR too much...

People do that all the time to every type of school out there. You have to do what's best for you. But to add some realism, if you are on the waitlist for any school, you statistically don't have much of a chance getting accepted, and that includes me, so you also want to really dig in and learn abo...

This way I didn't dress too formally because I knew that not everyone was going to class all dressed up, but I didn't want to dress too casually because again, these schools' admission reps an...

I am in a similar position as you, and have been successful in letting the other schools that accepted me delay my deposit deadlines. I wouldn't word it and say that you are waiting for school X explicitly, but say that you are strongly considering the schools that you got into, and that you want to...

Congratulations! It's nice to have the problem that you may have on whether to pick Chicago or Kellogg. I'm assuming you live in Chicago? I find it kind of a shame that there aren't many other cities where there are multiple A-list part time MBA programs. Even in New York, there's NYU, and then ever...

The Top 20 US programs have median GMAT's at or above 690 for the full time program, so I do believe that you need to take the test again. I would focus most on the verbal as you said. Yes, IT and Indian applicants appear to be a dime a dozen overall from reading these boards, but one demographic fa...
