<p>I'm going to address this question in the MBA section but thought I might ask you first.....:</p>

<p>I know work experience is a big thing, and as a Entrepreneur/Global Management major, my plan is to start my own company after graduation. Honestly, it's lofty, but I want to semi-retire by 30 and go back and get my MBA to study Supply-Chain/Logistics for fun and just to experience a new place for a year or two. </p>

<p>I know having a firm like EY or GS looks huge on an application, but do you know how MBA programs look at start-up companies? If I create a company that pulls in revenues in 7-8 figures, does it look better than if I worked at those aforementioned firms? </p>

<p>I ask this because I don't have a standout GPA (low 3's) and I'm really not too hot at standardized tests (I'll probably score above-average but not exceptional). I'm hoping my work accomplishments will help me get into a respectable program.</p>

<p>Also I'm not looking at a top 10 mba program, just a program in the top 50 like Boston College or ND.</p>

<p>i know you were asking shyboy specifically, but i want you know to know something really relevant. b-schools wont accept you unless you have a reason to be there. in fact, they always have atleast one or two essay questions that bascicallly ask : why do you want an mba? or what do you want to accomplish with your mba? going back for your mba is a pain in the ass, too. if you do succesfully start your own company, why go back to school? i wouldnt.</p>

<p>hey shyboy, do you know a guy named Ali Z.? hes a mashall school mba student. he is an old friend im trying to get in touch with.</p>

<p>yeah but it's not like I have to tell them that I'm just doing it for fun. I do want to learn for the benefit and greater efficiency of my company. Some people rather take the money and drink c0cktails by the pool (which I like to do), but I love learning, that's why I want to get an MBA. And it's always nice to have an MBA right? ;)</p>
