<p>So here I am a blank slate... I'll tell you a bit about and what I am looking for.</p>
<p>About my academics, relevant things... I have a GPA of about 3.2 from SUNY Buffalo, haven't taken the GMAT yet. I have work experience with HSBC (a bank if any of you don't know of it). I am very strong in English, but relatively weak at math (I can't get into most schools with a calculus requirement as I only got a D+ in intermediate calc.). My GPA has improved steadily from my first year (which was a 2.7).</p>
<p>What I want... A college that accepts MBA students right out of college. I can't afford over $15000 a semester after aid and room and board. I want a school in the mid Atlantic or the South (East Penn. and south of there).</p>
<p>The school doesn't need to be top 10 or anything, but I would like a respectable college (AACSB for sure).</p>
<p>Thanks guys!</p>

<p>Why do you want an MBA straight out of college? It's only useful after you gain some relevant full-time work experience. Don't waste the value of the degree by going straight after college graduation.</p>

<p>I agree with this. An MBA is much more valuable after having a little work experience. It's really meant to propel an already established career. I know you probably don't want to hear this, but if you want to maximize the value of your education you'd be better off waiting until you have some work experience</p>
<p>No that's actually fine. I would prefer hear the truth than make a bad mistake. I had heard some people say that, but it was split between the pros and cons. Now, do most people take their MBA as they are working or do they take time off of work and do it full time? And how many years in to their careers?</p>
<p>Only 20% of students who enroll in an MBA program do so in a full time two-year program. </p>
<p>The other 80% do part-time, weekend, distance learning, executive programs.</p>
<p>Some employers will pay their employees' tuition to attend a part-time business school program. Just work a couple of years. You will know by then whether a full-time or part-time program is better for you.</p>
<p>Mine will pay. But they don't have any operations in Va., NC., or SC., (which is where I want to live), so I will likely look at another company.</p>
