Hello all,

I'm currently apply for business schools and I really need some suggestions.
I'm from Thailand. Got a GMAT score of 550. Worked in a financial sector for 1.5 year and currently running a family's business (for 5 months now). My undergrad grades is 2.61/4.00.

I've applied for Whitman B-school's last round for int' student, Syracuse University and got rejected.

Planning to applied for DePaul, the full time MBA program. Do you think I have some chances with this school? I know that their requirement for the part-time program is slightly lower but I just would like to try the full time one. I saw that they require at least 30% on every part on the GMAT but the last time that I got 550, my AWA and IR % are slightly lower so I'm quite worried about this.

Hi there. No, I don't think you are a competitive candidate at DePaul, especially because you are below its average on all the criteria you mentioned: GMAT, work experience and GPA.

I suggest you consider:
University of Houston--Clear Lake (TX)
John Carroll University (Boler) (OH)
University of Louisiana--Lafayette (Moody) (LA)
University of Central Arkansas (AR)
Indiana State University (IN)
Wichita State University (Barton) (KS)
University of Nevada--Reno (NV)
University of Montana (MT)
New Jersey Institute of Technology
Stephen F. Austin State University (TX)

Hello,

Thank you so much!

And one more thing please. I think i might still try the part-time one. Do you any of you know the differences between the part-time and the full-time courses? Is the part-time worth it?

Yes, i've already checked. International students can apply for the part-time program.
Really would like to know if there will be a good connections in the part-time program there.

The question is ask isn't whether international students can apply, but whether they can get visas.

Oh! Yes, yes, we can. I have already asked and foreign students can get visas.

I have already asked. Visas can be obtained you just have to study for at least specific credits/semester.

I would inquire about career services.

As Ralph noted above, usually, part-time programs are for employed students, who want to excel in their current industry or functional area.

The big benefit of part-time MBAs is that you can apply what you're learning directly into the workplace. This is why companies offer more financial support for their employees who do part-time programs (and continue to work) versus those who leave for a year or two to do a full-time MBA. The full-timers are more likely to get a new job in a new company.

So naturally, part-time students need less career support, so schools often don't have the same level of post-graduation career services as they offer full-time grads.

Thank you so much!
