I am still reading it right now, but found quite a few thngs that are directly related to my MBA studies, am...

As for the MBA workload, if you try to get ahead by skipping on 60 minutes of AWA, think of the work that you will have to do once admitted. It will be overwhelming and exc...

Thanks goddy! I wish I had been given this kind of validation and encouragement before I applied to MBA. I could be in Psychology Masters program by now then ;-) Though it's not too late. I'll get my MBA, then Masters in Psychology and then open a "shrink" office, run on the best practices...

I thought you can not get re-fund once you registered and paid for exam. If you are talking about postponing the date (if I remember, there is some fee involved for that too) , here are a few considerations. You are right about the need to keep the momentum.

I'm tentatively thinking marketing is where I'm going, but still a little hazy. Thoughts? Congratulations on being admitted to great schools! My experience is a bit ...

I've always had to wor...

GW MBA is just money-oriented programs. They are just making bucks because of its Washington DC based presence and establishment. I am pretty sure when you asked them about financial aid they must have showed you a snap-shot of United States economy, bla-bla-bla You can take foot out of your mouth ...
