<p>I recently finished my undergrad at USF. I have a 3.25 overall gpa, and a 3.15 upper-level gpa (which they look at). My major was business economics and what I'm concerned about is I have no professional work experience. I also haven't taken the gmat yet, I can get into USF easily, but from what I've heard, FSU is very competitive. On the grad admission website it states a minimium of 3.0 upper-level gpa, and recommends taking the business foundation courses, like mac2233, fin3403, etc...which I've taken, so what would you think my chances would be to get into the mba program at FSU. Any opinions appriciated, thanks.</p>
<p>Why do you want an MBA?</p>
<p>
How have you been spending your time?</p>
<p>Do they require work experience? Many programs look for at least 2 years. And from my own research and chatting with admissions counselors, they loosely define “professional” experience as simply having a full-time job. Of course, more competitive programs look for more impressive work experience than just a full-time cashier. </p>
<p>Many lower-ranked and not-so-competitive MBA programs that I looked at have an average GPA of around 3.2, so a 3.0 seems low to me. But that is why work experience plays a role. </p>
<p>Actually, I just looked over the website and they don’t seem to require any work experience at all. I find that strange, but I think you have a chance if your essays are strong.</p>
<p>I have about three years of work experience, but it was working at a nursing home. Thanks for the wisdom.</p>
