Another person heavily considering pursuing an MBA here, also in need of input. I have 5+ years working part time in a small accounting office, with 7 months of full time since graduating with a BA last December. Originally I was considering going the cpa route, but I honestly like how much more open my career path would be from obtaining an MBA instead. I'm looking at applying to the University of Texas in Dallas MBA program for a number of reasons, the first of which being that is where I got my BA from with a 3.1 gpa. Outside of that, I took many of classes through their undergrad business program which I was impressed by and made a few references along the way. Another plus to attending their program would be the low cost of their program (23,000 in 16 months), while also having a top 100 (sometimes top 50) MBA program rating. Now my plan is to study for the GMAT for the next couple of months, and hopefully aim for around a 700 score. With a relatively high GMAT score, a moderate gpa, some work experience for a private accountant, and some references I hope it will all combine to be enough for admittance. From there, the plan would be to gain entrance for the spring 2010 semester, where I would either jump into graduate level courses or prep by taking more undergraduate courses if the school has set times for their MBA program to start. Now that I have briefly summarized my experience and goals to get into their MBA program, here are a few questions: 1) Will I have enough work experience at least have an average chance of doing well through out the program? 2) Can I also get some advice as to how to prepare for an MBA program or ways I can increase my chances in being accepted? 3) Fulltime people: Do you rely on student loans/savings or is it possible to have a part time job? 4) Really any other advice or opinion on my situation would also be greatly apperiated!
