Graduate business programs

Graduate School Business School - MBA

<p>Hi, not sure if this is the right place since this isn't MBA related but I'm looking for some help with selecting a grad school for business. First some background info:</p>

<p>Graduating from Emory university after studying abroad in China this summer. If all goes well I should have a 3.1 GPA.<br>
Major in Economics (which I hated) and minor in Chinese studies (don't hate but difficulty is off the charts).<br>
No real work experience: one summer at a retail store and occasional work at my dad's office.
No real idea what I want to do.
I will start to prepare and take GMATs when i get back from China.</p>

<p>What Im looking for is something like the Wake Forest MA in management or Duke MMS. I have also looked at UGA's MMR program, sounds interesting but competition looks tough especially for my stats. So as you can tell, I am looking for one year business programs (not MBA) designed for recent undergrads with no work experience. I plan to apply to those three but obviously need more options and safeties. I plan on applying for the summer 2011 class since these programs start in summer and I won't be around. So I guess that gives me a gap year. I have some time to add something great to my resume, I was thinking some kind of volunteer/community service to fill that hole in my resume, any recommendations to wow programs like these? </p>

<p>Help finding other programs or alternatives and suggestions about what to do for gap year will be greatly appreciated! Thanks</p>

<p>Trackball. Why don’t you consider applying to one of the European Business Schools? We have lots of excellent universities here. The European Ivy League that is offering Master’s in Management:</p>

<ul>
<li>HEC Paris</li>
<li>London Business School</li>
<li>ESCP</li>
<li>London School of Economics</li>
<li>University College London</li>
<li>Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University</li>
</ul>

<p>Those all have really good programs with a academic view, instead of a MBA practical basis.
I saw that the Harvard University Extension School is offering the Master of Liberal Arts in Management also and that Babson College has a Master of Science in Entrepreneurship (Global Entrepreneurship Programme).</p>
