Comments on: Applying For An MBA – Series Introduction http://cashmoneylife.com/mba-application-series-introduction/ Money Management, Small Business, Career Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:08:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: KiraBG http://cashmoneylife.com/mba-application-series-introduction/#comment-29147 KiraBG Wed, 02 Feb 2011 21:12:18 +0000 http://cashmoneylife.com/2007/10/23/mba-application-series-introduction/#comment-29147 Additionally, if you have taken the GRE in the last 5 years and you have an acceptable score, you hold a graduate degree with a good GPA, the GMAT might be waived for you and you can apply with your GRE scores. Make sure your GPA and GRE scores are good, though. Still, this is subject to admissions' consideration, but it never hurts trying. I got into a good MBA program with my graduate GPA of 3.90 and my GRE of 640 Verbalm, 780 Math, 5 on Writing and did not have to study additionally or pay extra for taking the GMAT. If you have taken the GRE and have a good GPA, contact admissions and ask if they will accept them instead of the GMAT. Also, a lot of programs require some basic courses which they can waive if you have taken them before, but less than 5 years before. I pretty much managed to cut my required courses 1/3 by applying and starting the program 2 years after my other graduate program. Thus I would also advise people to not wait too long after graduating college to apply for the MBA.

It really gave me a great overview of everything I need to think and research more on. Good luck with your MBA!! You should continue this series and chronicle your studies so we know what to expect once we're in. ;) Thanks so much for this series.

Many programs (especially top programs) are flooded with thousands of applications, and the amount of time they can spend helping individual applicants can be minimal. I guess it all depends on where/when you apply. Kyle,
