I have a BS in Accounting and over 8 years professional work experience. I am considering applying for admission to a top MBA program. My GMAT score is 717. The problem is that my undergraduate GPA is not very impressive; I graduated with only a 2.6 GPA. Will my GPA be an automatic disqualifier?

I figure that it'll be rough the first few years, but then after I get my life together and my "strategic plan" kicks in, I'll be set for life.

I'm 20 years old, btw

I know higher education tends to be a crowded field, but I am hearing rumblings that some fields are far more difficult to get positions in rather than others. For instance, I'm in the behavioral sciences (Sociology), and I've been told it will be easier to get a position than someone in humanities but not as easy as someone in, say, business. Is this true? Most of my research seems to show English, History, Humanities, and fields like Linguistics to be really crowded. Thanks.

Here's the dilemma. I work at a law office right now as a legal assistant/office manager. What this means is that I am in charge of not only writing legal documents, but also our marketing and business protocols. My boss, our attorney, always jokes about how much of a better CEO I would be than a future law partner, which I'm pretty much ensured were I to go to law school.

I enjoy both aspects of my job equally, but I would agree that I am a slightly better business man. I guess what my question pertains to the kinds of jobs an MBA would provide you with, as well as the upward mobility it gives. Is the salary of a person with an MBA anywhere comparable to that of your typical entry level lawyer, which where I live, is about $70,000 for a regional firm?

Thanks in advance for the information, I appreciate any and all help on the matter.

I'm a psychology major interested in graduate school, and at my college, the only difference between the BS and BA is that you have to take language courses for the BA. I know the BS sounds more intensive and specific, but it's actually easier to get than the BA.

Do I need many years of experience in the workplace? Connections with somebody in the school?

It's not so much for the prestige that I'm interested, as for high quality education and access to interesting jobs afterward.

FYI, I have a dual political science and economics B.A. from a top 50 university, and have worked for 1 1/2 years since graduation. I'm hoping for international relations grad school.

I'm a junior already, and I've found it hard to find common interests with people, especially since my university is primarily a research institution where everyone's so focused on their academics and you feel pressure if you're not totally passionate about your academics.

I'm starting to wonder if I'll even be able to get through, and getting through's my priority, not outstanding grades. Usually my interaction with people is just a meal once every two weeks maybe and then I just spend the rest of my time in my room or at the library. Maybe I just need to talk more to people around me in class, meet more people.

The thing is that I expect this from my university, since it seems geared toward really independent thinkers who like to work alone. I'm not even sure if my personality type is meant for a strong network of people to support me. I think this transferred from high school, where I dealt with all my stresses myself and managed fine. But college is a lot different.

Here is my problem!! I just graduated from high school class of 07 and just turned 18, i took a break from school only to decide what i wanted to do for my future career i didnt want to rush or feel pressured into going to college (by my family) right after high school so i took a few months off from school.

I have resently registered at my local community college for classes in january but i do not know what classes to take because i want to transfer after one year to UMD or GW (local colleges). I know i like working with cars but from my research as a career it's not enough money for me the base salary is about 30k but i may work on cars as a hobby but not as a career!!

IF YOU WERE ONCE IN A SIMILAR SITUATION HOW DID YOU CHOOSE YOUR CAREER I APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS

I would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction. I need a school in North Carolina with some kind of Health Science, Kinesiology, or Health Education Bachelor's degree program. I would prefer something close to Raleigh...I've looked at NC State, and they don't really have anything up that alley from what I see. If anyone could help me out that would be great.

Correct me if i am wrong but, from what have researched UCR is actually a pretty good school. They are ranked highly for sciences. And they do have a biomed program where med students start medschool at UCR and finish at UCLA. personally i am looking at UCR for my undergraduate work and preperation for med school.

I was wondering if anyone had any input of UCR
UCLA is LA not exactly the safest city how is it that everyone over looks that for school?
USC is in the ghetto how is it that no one uses that fact to bring down to school, like they do for UCR?
