Why MBA? -- You mean to aplly MBA, right?

You've got good GPA and good GMAT. It's pretty much easier for you to aplly for other Master degree programs which recognize GMAT and don't care too much about working experience. Then you can consider better school and better scholarship with less sweat.

Working experience is important not only for admission, but for your future study and your career afterward as well.

If you really have good reason to stick to MBA, maybe it is not the proper time for you now. A couple of years' first-hand experience of business world would most benefit you.

Starbird, your statement sounds quite reasonable. But it seems that the scholarship for other business related master degree is not as generous as that for an MBA.

accounting may consider some full tuition waiver, I am not sure about other business program such as MSF

当老师不算是商业活动吗？

我觉得master的奖学金应该比MBA要多吧？

要不然你考虑PHD吧，又有学术背景，更多！一个朋友在那边PHD生活过得不要太爽！

以下是引用penguin82在2007-10-21 6:30:00的发言：

最近选校总是弄得心情此起彼伏，一会觉得自己可以争取好一些的，一会又觉得好像除了GMAT之外，很没优势。先说说背景吧：

GMAT 780   5.5      TOEFL IBT: 102    (口语部分19，感觉对当了两年大学英语老师的人来说很讽刺，也许会重考，但又来不及很多学校的第一轮了）    本科毕业之后当了两年大专英语老师，不过本科专业是国际商务，GPA 3.28             有组织并参加过一些义教活动           现在F2的身份在美国    

大家能帮忙介绍学校或者给一些选校的建议么？谢谢

i recommend u go for top 20, at least 3 of them，regardless of financial aid

thanks for all the suggestion    I guess I will try one or two in top twenty and several after twenty.  有没有前辈介绍我去当师妹呢？

If I were you I would do my homework and reach out to people (in the U.S., not in here,) especially those current MBA students. You may or may not nail down a target school simply by talking to people from that program. However, most of the time you can get a pretty good sense about what types of candidates the school really loves.

Your decent GMAT makes you a decent underdog for top 5-15, and I don’t see any problem that you’ll fail to secure a regional top B-school offer. Having said that, I’d remind you that your work experience is weak and your chance largely rests on how well you elucidate your thoughts for the MBA through your essays. (Bottom line: do you really understand what MBA is all about and feel passionate about it? Or just treat it as a means so as to feed your family? Think about it before you move, as a MBA education is a huge investment in your life. Most people here have no idea what they really want, except for the rankings)
