Guys, quick question for you - what are the best MBA programs in NYC?
Disclaimer: I have not taken the GMAT but I don't think my score would be good enough to get into Columbia or NYU. :(
Other options would be much appreciated!

What is your GMAT score?
But more importantly, what are your goals?
There are a number of good full time MBAs in NYC* that aren't NYU / Columbia. Cuny, Fordham, Pace, St. John's...
*I'm including the outer boroughs, not just Manhattan.

1) I will take the GMAT in two weeks. I expect to get around 640-670.
2) My goal is to break into management. I work for an HMO now but I am interested in changing to a different industry, such as finance or consulting. My boyfriend will be doing his master at NYU starting this year so I thought I would do my MBA now.

Well, for finance you really should aim as high as possible. Cuny and Fordham typically place quite a few students in finance (probably about 50% of each graduating MBA class), but usually in lesser-paid roles than Columbia or NYU grads.
The consulting firms tend not to recruit as heavily from this tier of school.

That's a bit of an understatement. Mean salaries for CUNY MBAs who go into finance are $78k or thereabouts. At Columbia it depends on what part of the financial services industry, but the mean salaries are generally $125k+. That's a substantial difference, and in my eyes, reason enough to re-take the GMAT. :)

Good points. I think it's pretty clear that Columbia / NYU are better for these kinds of career paths.

I really appreciate all the feedback. Thank you very much, it's a lot to think about. My GMAT is next week. I hope to get as high as possible, and I've been studying quite a bit. From my research I think that with a score of about 720 or higher I might actually have a shot at one of the top schools.

Hey, I got an admit at CUNY that I'm sitting on. I'm a bit uncertain because of the feedback I've read around. It Is the only school that I applied. I got 620 on the GMAT and need / want to be in NYC. Should I accept or is there a better option?

What are your goals? Why an MBA? Why not improve your GMAT?
Posted Feb 16, 2018 19:43
My mid to long term goal is to learn more about business, and marketing in particular, so I can (hopefully) land a job in a marketing firm or in house marketing role in a company. I would like to do this NYC.
I took the GMAT twice and did not see substantial improvement. I think I might have maxed out at 620.

Looks like the mean salary for CUNY MBAs going into marketing jobs is $90,000. Similar groups from Columbia make $110,000+. Do the math - assuming you land an average job when you get out, would it be worth it for you?

I accepted my offer for the fall intake at CUNY. Did you? If so, let's connect!
