Unless you are toting a 780 GMAT and an high-profile internship with GE (i.e. invited to Crotonville) in your back pocket, a lot of those schools are out of reach.

I guess this is an actual paid/unpaid killer internship, right rob

academics matter, but i've seen many examples now where academics played a little part in admission process. I'm no Einstein but gpa/gmat won't be off their charts either so with that in mind, I'm lucky to have a helping hand I guess and i've seen that hand help others and so i plan to use it. If I won't someone will. Otherwise I wouldn't be targeting 2 specific schools. With that said, I guess the idea of going back to engineering is out the window.

Yeah, I'd say making an invited pilgrimage to Crotonville would qualify.

1. Don't go back to school if you want to start your own business - volunteer and assist with a similar business. Look for a mentor.
2. Don't go into Finance
3. Continuing education is fantastic - but you'll get more out of an MBA program when you have some life experience to apply your studies to. I have an undergrad in Finance, and an MBA (without specializaton) - now that I've spent a couple years in my job performing PR functions, I am interested in going back for my second MBA in communications and public relations - but it's because I've found something I am truly interested in; it's not about making money.
4. PS - don't make life decisions such as going back to school by asking people on EF. Figure out what you WANT to do - not something because you think you HAVE to. Maybe alk to a career and education counselor?
