I am currently going for a bachelor's in business. GPA does not mean poo poo in the real world. I finished grad school with a 3.95 GPA. Nobody cares. But yeah, a bachelor's in business is definitely not a wasted investment. If you're still young, go on and get your MBA. It's a great investment. It will pay for itself, trust me. Also, don't get hung up on the name of your school. As long as it's not an online diploma mill with University of Phoenix accreditation, it's good enough. Having a better school on your resume will help you get an interview, but if you're floating resumes to posted openings, you're doin' it wrong anyway.

xdimitrix posted:Does anyone know if a good GMAT score usually factors into a "merit" based scholarship? I have a high GPA from a no name school and I'm trying to figure out if it's worth spending more study time to boost my GMAT up. On practice tests I'm scoring 0-30 points above my target schools' median, but my math score sucks so I think I could boost my score another 20-30 points with a lot of effort. Each scholarship (and school admissions department) is different, but having a higher GMAT score will definitely help you if you are trying for a merit-based scholarship. I'd say that having a good undergraduate transcript is a lot more important, but having high marks on the GMAT should certainly help. So yes, it is worth spending some study time to boost your score. It will probably help prepare you for the tedium of your Operations classes and such, too.
