Between my fellowship and my savings, the damage is going to be a lot lower than I thought! However, still pretty stinkin' epic considering. Still applying for scholarships with late deadlines, I wanna see if I can pull in anything else.

Congrats on the half-funding, that is phenomenal! Very nice, indeed. :)

Finished studying about a month ago and took the GRE...if I can make any reco's (recommendations) - if you still have a Borders or B&N around grab a Kaplan book and take the practice tests!! I think I shaved a couple days off my life stressing about the test, but I think those helped a lot, otherwise I might've lost some years...lol. As for what I'm gonna study?

M.B.A. ALL THE WAY
Particularly Marketing & Logisitics

Why did you take the GRE for MBA?

That's a GMAT concentration, generally speaking. I'm sure there are exceptions out there, but every MBA program I've seen only accepts the GMAT.

If anyone cares, I'm in my second grad program for "environmental sustainability for live agriculture", specifically poultry and cattle. I got in December, but only took one class this semester. I'll probably be taking two next semester. It's tough balancing a 60 hour or so work week and grad courses, but it's fine.

Do you have an undergraduate degree in business? If you do, why are you getting an MBA?

I took both the GMAT & the GRE. I did better on the GRE and my school accepts them both. Didn't do so hot w/ the data sufficiency questions, so I thought of another way.

I know how you feel with that 60 hr week. I'm doing that now..gotta figure out how to balance that w/ school, but I'm looking forward to it.



I do. I have undergrad degrees in Biz Management - Entrepreneurship as well as Marketing - Integrated Marketing Communications...but I'm getting my M.B.A. by recommendation of my Undergrad Advisor and it's something I've wanted. Hopefully w/in the near future I'll be an actual Professor.

Initially, I was going a different route w/ an M.S. in PR and Org Com, however, my life changed and so did my focus of study...although I did particularly well in that program - 4.0 for the duration I was in the program was kinda nice to brag about :D.

Personally, I think MBA's are a racket.

I can see your POV...For me it's another cred and new experiences under my belt and a means to get to the end....that Ph.D.
