Submitted my application for my MS in IS recently. Hopefully all goes well and I get in. Decided to apply to the same school I got my BA in, which was CUNY Baruch. A lot of options to move up in my current job with an advanced degree and certifications.
Im taking my GRE after I submitted my application, is this a problem? Test date is scheduled for December 4th.

Best of luck fam!!! As for GRE, it depends on the school and you should definitely contact the admissions office. When I applied they said they would put my application on hold until I submitted my GMAT score. From my experience grad school admissions is a more personal process than undergrad due to the number of admissions, and they appreciate when you contact them for questions about the application process (if you can't already find the info on the website)

Thanks man. I took your advice and contacted them. They told me submit the application even those I don't have my scores yet. They'll evaluate everything else and just wait on my test scores. So Im looking to get a decision by January for the spring semester.

- I had success with Manhattan GMAT and the Official GMAT material.
- I'd recommend 3 months of study min. I believe there is a total hours committed number floating around on the internet.
- Memorize all the math tricks, formulas, fractions, etc. Get used to narrowing down answers to 2 choices, picking one, and moving on.

The interviews are tough but if you prep well you'll get looks.
Stating the obvious, you'll want to start casing early and often. Practice casing with your classmates so you get different perspectives.
You'll also want to get your behavioral questions down cold. Have 1-3 stories for typical scenarios. Also ensure that you can explain your answers at a deep level in case the interviewer continues to probe your answer.
And like you said, you'll want to network with alums in the field so you can get their perspective and get a potential vouch from them.
Good luck!

Now that it’s 2018, I can say I graduate next year.
Anyone do a ‘study abroad’ program for their MBA? Ours is called Global Business Perspectives and we travel to another country for 7 days (in between the quarter) to study their companies & economy. It’s a 4 unit class, and we gotta pay a fee on top of that.
Just wondering if anyone experienced something similar and if it was worth it. I’m most likely going to do it since it’s a once in a life time thing and I never got to do it in undergrad.

My school has something similar but we call it an international trek. I didn't do it because it's hella expensive. We also got a study abroad program where we actually go to study in a country for that quarter. Imma prob do that instead.

Still grinding two nights a week myself. Wife is definitely clutch watching the three little ones but it always sucks on days they don't see me at all. I kiss them a good morning in the AM and don't get home until they're all asleep.
I can't imagine working a job where you're away from your family days/weeks at a time.
