Boston College MBA

Graduate School Business School - MBA

<p>Hello all. First time poster here. I'm planning to apply to grad school for Fall 2013 and was hoping some people with experience could provide some advice.</p>

<p>I'm doing a career change and am focused on getting into the Front Office of the investment industry. My ultimate goal is to get experience as a portfolio manager and then build out my own business from there.</p>

<p>I don't have a background in investments except I have been tracking the markets and create tracking portfolios that do beat the S&P 500 by quite a bit. My work experience was working for the US Navy as an Electrical Engineer for 5 years.</p>

<p>Now that you know a little bit about my background here is my question: is Boston College's MBA program good enough for someone doing a career change into the investment field? All I want is a foot in the door for an internship and I will do the rest.</p>

<p>I'm also open to other schools as well. Any suggestions will be much appreciated!</p>

<p>Thanks in advance and happy hunting!</p>

<p>The fact that so many people have looked and have no input must mean that is a no go.</p>

<p>Actually since no one posted it probably means that they really can’t answer your question either way. An MBA is a good way to get a career change. You have good chances especially since you have 5 years of work experience.</p>

<p>If you only want to specialize in investment maybe an MS in Finance would be good? </p>

<p>Also, the B-School section of CC isn’t really hot right now. Try the GMATClub forum.</p>
