Just found out I got into both programs. I've very excited but have a tough decision to make this week. There are pros & considerations I see for each program. Just wondering if anyone out there has any advice.

Merage Pros: Up & coming program, almost everything is covered in the tuition fees, close to where I live.

Marshall Pros: Alumni network & prestige, excellent career management center, first year I can attend the Irvine center.

Congratulations. Perhaps you can provide a little more info on what industry and career you are looking to enter post grad. I graduated from Marshall Undergrad and am knowledgeable on their MBA program. UC Irvine is a fantastic school and I think has very valuable of a program, however USC treats itself as being more prestigious. I have a friend who works in Irvine and is doing the part time MBA at USC. He can leave at 4pm and still get to downtown by 6pm classes. If it were my decision, I would choose UC Irvine though. The reason is because I dont think the USC MBA program has many additional resources to offer me above my undergrad.

It would be helpful to have a better sense of your post-MBA plans as that would likely impact your choice.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
