NTers in B-school

Sorry for the multiple posts, my computer runs slow with this site for some reason.
 
Thanks for the info.  Unfortunately, I'm going to have to go part-time.  That's why I'm leaning toward GW(they also have a healthcare MBA).  I'm currently in the healthcare field, and would like to stay in it.  I think that getting my MBA would be a great way to get a leg up.  It would also help me get commissioned in the Medical Service Corps in the Navy.  Unless I score a 750+ and get offered a scholarship, I think I'm going to stay in the Navy and go to school part-time.  The only downside to McDonough is that their part-time program is 3 years, whereas UM and GW are only 2.  Darden is too far away.

Any Finance majors leaning more towards CFA rather than MBA? Would love to hear opinions on this.

I got a 780 (50/48 split).

This was after COMPLETELY bombing my first practice test. I think I paused the math part and still only got like 680.

I would highly recommend Powerscore's Critical Reasoning. After going through that book, I fully expected to get every critical reasoning question right.

One of the best blogs I've ever read. He has a step by step plan for the b-school process (from applications to the GMAT to recs)

What I can advise is to target a top 40 MBA school or don't even bother going. There are a lot of MBA programs from less than reputable that can be a waste of funds and time. I would recommend getting 2 to 3 years of real good experience before sending off your applications with your GMAT score. That's just my honest opinion.

Most of the top schools wont even look at you with out 2 years minimum of WE. The avg at all the top schools is around 5.

I'm got the work experience part covered-10 years in the military with consistently increased roles of responsibility.  I'm more worried about the quant portion, I seem to be doing well in verbal.  Any suggestions for getting a 49-51 in quant?  Also, to get a 780(99%).  You should have started your own club.

I thought about applying to business school, but right now I'm more interested in Public Policy. My top choice is Vanderbilt, or Ohio State if i decide to move back home. Hopefully working with Teach for America in one of the poorest regions in our country will make me a better candidate.

My girlfriend is in the process of applying to B-school, so I will forward her some of the info in this thread.

Getting an MBA is only 2 years in most full-time programs.  Even part-time can be done in 2-3.
