Boston University for Grad School?

Graduate School
1

<p>I'm currently a student at Northeastern University (CPS) and will soon be graduating with Bachelors of Finance & Accounting Management. I've been looking for a reputable grad school that offers online programs (due to the flexibility it offers). Boston University (Metropolitan College) is exactly what I'm looking for. From what I know, it has a good reputation compared to other "online universities" and they offer a Masters in Management (Specialization in Banking & Financial Services Management) . My question is, how hard is it to get into BU for grad school? Has anyone ever had experience with Boston University to get their Masters?</p>

<p>Will they look at my previous transcripts from HS and take it into consideration? My HS gpa was a mess (slacked off a lot) and I never took the SATs. But I currently work in the Finance Dept for a company, have a 3.96 GPA, and I will be getting my bachelors in a couple of months after two years at Northeastern.</p>

<p>Thoughts?</p>

<p>I don’t know anything about BU grad school, but I do know grad schools do not care about your HS transcript and GPA. They only care about your undergrad GPA and CV, Letters of Reference, Statement of Purpose and GRE scores.</p>

<p>Avoid online-only universities at all costs: Phoenix, Walden etc.</p>

<p>Thank you for all your replies! </p>

<p>I am fully aware of online universities (Walden, University of Pheonix and etc). I’ve done plenty of research to be sure that my money will be well spent. The schools I mentioned are the traditional B&M schools (I.e. Northeastern University and Boston University, both in Boston Ma) that currently offer online programs (distance learning). The requirements to be considered into the online programs mentioned in these B&M schools have the similar requirements to applying to the programs that they offer on-campus, unlike the other “online universities” that will be glad to simply take your money. </p>

<p>My main concern is how hard is it to get into an MS Management program (Specialization in Banking & Financial Services Management) with Boston University. </p>

<p>OminousRun- What is a GRE? Where do I take it and when (while in school or after graduation)?</p>

<p>Is GRE required for all schools? Also, should I take this while im in my senior year or after graduation?</p>

<p>GRE is required for almost all schools.
You should take this before you apply to graduate schools.
You need to apply for graduate schools during your senior year usually…</p>

<p>But I recommend taking it earlier than that since the material is basic and you can retake it if you do poorly!</p>

<p>Being a non-traditional grad school applicant at BU’s on-line, they are NOT requiring the GRE. Just talked with them yesterday.</p>
