<p>I'm a senior at Columbia planning on going to the book publishing industry, and I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction in terms of online articles, information or similar threads.</p>
<p>I am planning on working in the industry for a couple of years before possibly applying to business school. My undergrad experience was rich but certainly not exemplary (3.8 GPA in anthropology). I'm guessing I should take the GREs instead of the GMATs this summer, since the last time I did anything computational I wanted to roast the compsci exam on a spit. I'll hazard a guess now to say my work experience will be the biggest asset in my application, but please correct me if I'm mistaken.</p>
<p>The reason I'm thinking about business school is that I eventually want become a publisher and run my own imprint or indie press. I've got a feel for marketing, but the only econ I've taken was econ 101 the first semester of college. It will be very important that the b-school be in NYC IF I wanted to get my MBA part time, so am I limited to Columbia and NYU? And if I am, should I aim for my undergrad alma mater or try for a better-located and different-alumni-network NYU? (I'd probably just apply to both, but I'm wondering which would be more advantageous.)</p>
<p>I'm sort of wondering where I stand in all this. I thought I'd ask here first, since I know it's still a while away :)</p>
