HBS's "difficult decision" essay question

Greetings Lisa, Do you think that my answer to this question MUST have results? I'm a career switcher, and I'm considering explaining my thought process behind this decision in the essay. I thought of explaining this in the "career vision" essay, but I don't think there is enough space. I ...

Queen's University seems like a perfect fit. The program is 1 year long, and was ranked by business week as the best non-US program in the world. Your GMAT seems to be competitive there too: Mean : 674 Median: 660 More information about the program: http://www.businessweek.com/bschools/rankings/full...

2 years General Management MBA + Case-Method

Do you know of other top schools that fit the description? A quick summary of my stats: GMAT: 690 GPA: 3.5 (Compu...

That doesn't seem to deal with the question mate. I believe this line has the answer: It appears that in areas where weak currents and weak tidal energies allow the accumulation of sediments , mangroves will follow land formation and accelerate the rate of soil accretion; succession will proceed acc...

I fully agree (Although 47 is a bit high too lol).. and I'm still searching for these key factors. I'm having a hard time surpassing 35 in verbal. I can take the GMAT exam at any time and be confident to get at least 47 in the quant section. I wish to have the same confidence in the verbal section a...

Will put my 2 cents here, and please correct me if I'm wrong. E is wrong because "although" was preceded by a phrase not a clause. There should be a verb before "although". The usage is like the following: 1- Although X, Y. 2- Y although X. Both X and Y must be clauses (i.e conta...

I'm interested in learning how to manage people, how to motivate them and how to improve the work environment as a whole. I believe the general management is more fitting for me than the pure HR master degree. The MBA would be a better foundation for me especially since I don't have a business degre...

MBA in OB/HR

Greetings Stacy :)

Do you guys know of any top 20 school that specializes in those fields (Organizational Behavior and Human Resources) ? Most seem to focus on either marketing or finance.

I appreciate your help.
