I skated so hard through college and now it's coming back to bite me...pause

I hate school and only finished my Bachelors to make Moms proud really. Never thought I would even consider going back. But things change, and here I am. I never thought I would be in the position I'm in now. An MBA will increase my earning potential and open up more opportunities in my career field. Plus, the job will pay for it.I As well, I notice that I'm literally the only person without an MBA where I work. On one hand it's good, because I feel like I'm overachieving, but on the other hand, I know I will probably need one to get where I'm trying to go.

That brings me to my dilemma . I started researching MBA's and found out that is difficult to get accepted with even a 2.5 or 2.4 I couldn't even find anything on people with GPA's as low as me. I also see that they factor in the score on a test you have to take and how long you've been working in your field. But it seems as the GPA is heavily a deciding factor.

I already know I'm not gonna get into a prestigious program or anything like that, I just want anyone to accept if possible. One thing I know about this corporate s*** is that is all about these titles and accolades, no matter where they come from. So do I have any recourse or am I just out of luck cause my GPA is too low? I figured that it had to be somebody that would accept me, but I haven't found anything yet. I don't plan on pursuing it for about a year, so I have time. Just looking for a little help

Grades honest to God don't matter. Practical hands-on experiences/ "campus involvement"/references do.

I know this because a friend of mine got into law school at a somewhat reputable (at least in this region) spot with a 2.3 GPA. But he had group memberships out the ass.

You test well on that GMAT, you should probably be alright.

Good GMAT score, good professor and professional recommendations, good work track record + clear sign of leadership abilities = find nearby mediocre state college that'll accept you.
I know a girl with a 2.4 and almost no solid experience who just got in a (sort of) local MBA program, it shouldn't be *too* difficult.

What do you? Maybe you can show ur worth through ur job credentials. Seen it happen to worse.

I'm a Financial Analyst for a major bank. I've been in this position less than a year. Before that I was a Fraud Analyst for a major bank for about a year.

So you're saying there's a chance lol. Yeah from my research I figured I would HAVE to do well on the test to even have a shot.
:mjlol: I heard University of Phoenix accepts anyone. No offense but that is piss poor gpa. I doubt you will get any recommendation either. You would be lucky to even make into regular college MBA program.

:sadcam:

Uneducated nikka questions: What's an MBA and how does it increase ones earning potential?

Masters of Business Administration. It's mostly used to rebrand yourself and break into a new career. For non-finance people, it's used to break into corporate finance, consulting or investment banking. For finance people, it's used to rise higher in investment banking or switch over into Private Equity, Venture Capital or a Hedge Fund. A lot of finance people forgo it entirely. It's basically the "CEO/CFO" degree.
