Hello, I am back. I decided not to go for an MBA since I went to undergrad business school at Stern and would like to learn something new. MBA has very similar classes. I can always pick up the CFA again if I need to (I passed some of the levels already). I was accepted to the Macc program at the Un...

Did anyone get into the MaCC online? I have no idea what to think of UNC? Is it some magical school as I cannot get in no matter what I do. I first applied to the UNC online MBA program and was rejected. I then decided to focus on something different as I wasn't sure if I wanted to stay in the finan...

UNC MaCC Online

Hi, I applied to the UNC MaCC on-campus program and was rejected. My GMAT score is in the 600 range. I have a 3.4 from NYU Stern as an undergrad with 10 years of work experience in the financial industry. I am trying to get my MaCC so I can take the CPA and hopefully transition away from the financi...

Age Discrimination?

Hi, I have a feeling that I have been the victim of age discrimination. I applied to a MAC program as I want to get more experience in accounting and change careers as the financial industry in NYC that I work in is declining. I would like to work for a company outside of that industry and my experi...

Kenan-Flagler is a great school to get a degree from. The one thing I would warn about is what your you getting your MBA for? If you are looking to change jobs or build a network, an online program may not be the best. If you are just looking to enhance your knowledge base to start a business or to...

Online MBA Programs

it is usually the assumption that online programs of any kind are useless. The one exception might be UNC's online MBA program through Kenan Flagler. You get the same degree as those that attend the program in Chapel Hill. Also, you get a student ID card and on the list for sports tickets like UNC b...

With that score, why didn't you get a full ride to Georgetown?

Are you attending this coming Fall?? If I were you, I would wait abd apply next Fall to better schools.

MACC Programs

I wanted to ask about master's in accounting programs, sorry about the switch from MBA but you have to take the GMAT for an Macc program as well. Is it more efficient to get an MACC if you don't want to return to the financial industry after graduation? Especially if you went to undergrad business s...

BU isn't that great either, what was your GMAT score?

Hi I am back! I finally took the GMAT before the Integrated Reasoning section went into effect. I was disappointed, but I think the situation is not awful. I got a 610 which is similar to the score when I applied 5 years ago. I can still get into some schools. I think given my situation and age it w...

Looking at MBA, but over 30 and need some advice !!

Hi, I am 32 right now and I did take the GMAT in March, but I canceled my score as the center was very noisy and I couldn't concentrate. I lost a lot of time re-reading questions. I took the GMAT previously, but it was more than 5 years ago so that score is not longer valid and I need to retake. I h...
