I graduated in 4.5 years, wanted to do law school but didn't take the LSAT. Knew the right people at another university and was admitted into graduate school with no GMAT scores. Did a semester there without taking the test, finally took it and the MBA coordinator went crazy saying I should be teaching at undergrad level at the university. Graduated in 2.5 years (would've been sooner but I started program in the spring so my courses were out of whack) with a 3.7 something (only 2 B's during program). My independent research paper (thesis) was a comparative analysis of Nike and Adidas. Got a job right after school but it's not the one I want but I 'm grateful 'cause I know the job market is bleak. I'm only 25 so I have time (unless the Man upstairs says otherwise) to mess around for a little while. Plan on retiring before 45. (I have a few schemes in the works.)
P.S. My high school counselor was right. I'm ridiculously lazy. SORRY FOR THE LONG POST
humble bragginton for sure.
one thing you mentioned though.
it still comes around to the "who you know". I didnt go to grad school, didnt even apply, and have no intention of ever going. That being said, isnt it borderline required to take the GRE, GMAT, LSAT, MCAT or whatever other respective standardized test to get into a masters or doctorate level program/school?
