Master Program?

Question

What do I need in order to be added to US Master program - MBA Finance & Accounting. I have a Bachelor in Arts (Legal Studies) with GPA 4.0 from my country. I know that I need TOEFL 550 and GMAT.

So, my questions are:

1. Do I need to take any other exams exept TOEFL and GMAT?
2. What GMAT score is usually fine?
3. Is it hard to be added to MBA in State university (not private school)?
4. What is the most important thing (GMAT, GPA etc.) ?

Thank you for your help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

1. GMAT is usually enough for business school
2. Top ranked MBA's look for any score above 700, but if you have good GPA, work experience, essay etc, you might get in with lower score. Try to get at least 650
3. It depends on which state university, UCLA and UC Berkeley both have top ranked b schools, and they are public. Harvard and Stanford are also top ranked, and they are private. So it all depends on the school, not whether it's public/private.
4. I'd say work experience is the most important thing. They are looking for candidates that have shown tremendous contribution in the work force, something that is diverse, something that says you are able to manage. Top ranked b-schools have about 5 years work experience.

Goodluck!
