Notes:

I am looking to get into a Full-Time MBA or MS in Finance. At my current university, I serve as the President of our Finance Club and the Founder/President of our Student Investment Fund. Additionally, through my role at the Finance Club, we developed the largest finance conference in university history, which has now become a recurring staple of our Finance programs. I've always had a passion for Investment Management and Strategy, so I believe that a graduate degree will provide the platform for me to grow my passion and make a difference on the industry.

For the MBA, while a few programs may take someone straight from undergrad, your options are much improved once you have 3-4 years of post undergrad experience.

When are you planning to take the GMAT or GRE?

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1646 Just to clarify, you are an undergraduate student, who has worked full time, while also studying for their undergrad degree? How old will you be when you graduate? (0)

rhoss Likes Earned: 0 Yes I am working and going to school at the same time. I will be 23 when I graduate this December. I should also be earning Summa Cum Laude when I graduate. (Also, I just took my first GMAT Focus Practice Exam and scored a 660 which I believe is roughly equivalent to low 700's on the old exam. I am targeting at least 90th percentile for the official exam.) (0)
