Considering an MBA

Graduate School Business School - MBA
1

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I am a freshmen at an undergraduate college seeking to acquire an MBA in graduate school. I was toying with the idea of law school, but I have done some personal research (questioning lawyers, job satisfaction surveys, etc.), and I have concluded that the profession would not be suitable for me.</p>

<p>I would say that my passions and abilities lie in writing, reading, and critical thinking, and I do have the occasional knack for business concepts courtesy of the Wall Street Journal.</p>

<p>However, my problem lies with quantitatives. I have been a poor mathematical student since grade school, and since then, have always maintained an aversion towards anything math-related. I just noticed that the GMAT contains a quantitiative section, so I was somewhat nervous.</p>

<p>I am still considering that MBA, despite of this. Is it still possible to score high on the GMAT, even though I have mediocre math skills?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Business school has a lot of quant in it, so get used to it. I guess you can still get a good quant score on the GMAT even if you're not a "math person", but remember that you're competing against a lot of people who are VERY good at math, so you better brush up.</p>
