Brehs with MBA's, how hard was it to achieve a 3.5 GPA

[Mirin4rmfar]

I don't want to study for the gmat....but I am able to get into a ranked school by taking the first five classes...with a 3.50, I am in..anything lower than a 3.5 means i have to take the gmat to enter.

The program is one of my target schools(reasonably priced, ranked in the top 90). The good thing is I can start this shyt right away in January.

32K for an 88th ranked program...

 

[EndDomination]

Not hard, or at least not that much more difficult than a 3.5 in UG.
You'll only be taking a few classes at a time, so you should be fine.
What do you do for a living, and is your current job willing to pay for your MBA?

Don't get an MBA from a place w/ this low of a requirement.

 

[TRFG]

It's should be easy since you're graded either an A or B

 

[Diondon]

Undergrad was way harder, as I had a full course load and had to take fukk shyt like Biology
You'll be fine, don't stress about it.

 

[calixprynce]

shyt, it's ranked and affordable.

Graduate Programs | School of Business

Everything else is too expensive for me and I want to do it in two years. Ole Miss and Mississippi state are my other options. I would do UGA or Emory of I had the money since I am in GA but can't die to the price range.

3.15 Engineering undergrad (was super immature back then).

8K a year, cap at 30K...I am going to distribute the courses in a way that I finish 2.4 years or so.

What's your post-MBA plan? That school may or may not be a good investment, breh.

 

[TheBigBopper]

B school ain't worth it if it's not top 25 (dare say even top 15)

 

[patscorpio]

wasn't hard...but it was very time consuming for sure lol...gpa was like 3.6

I disagree. Mid to lower tier MBA's can still give a boost to your career.

An AP clerk that wants to get into corp finance, a sales person that wants to get into product marketing, a customer service rep that wants to get into supply chain management. You don't need to go to a top tier school to get that bump.

Can't say honestly, wherever the opportunity comes.

Unless you're doing it for the money, or unless it's specific to your job where it could get you more money, don't get one. Save your money and put it into a retirement account or go get a house with the money and rent it out.
The fukking time effort and money you'll spend on the degree need to have solid results, so you need to know what industry you're going to be getting in after you get the degree and what the pay is. If my job didnt pay for mine I swear on my life I wouldn't have gotten one. And as far as being ranked, unless a school has local clout, employers don't give a darn where you got it from as long as it's not University of Pheonix or something. If you get an MBA from Alabama state, it's not as prestigious as one from Harvard, but if you apply for a job in Florida, they figure Alabama state is just as good as any other state school.

Coming from Engineering...not very difficult.

Just a lot of case studies, papers, and presentations.

Ended up with a 3.8something.

Accounting though...
