I'm interested in obtaining my Master's degree, but, I'm confused as to the first step to take to apply for the program. I mean, do I prepare for the GMAT first, then once I get my score, select the school and follow the interview process? Are these the typical steps followed for someone who is completely new at this. I got my Bachelor's years ago and have been out of the loop for a while, but, I want to resume my studies and gain a competitive edge in my career as well as in this slow economy.

Thoughts?? Suggestions?
