February 25, 200818 yr What all is included in the test exactly? Not exact questions, but the format. The GRE is computerized. One section is mathematical/analytical and another is regarding language and the third is kind of a random selection from both portions. I think they really refer to it more in a qualitative/quantitative frame of reference. In the language portion it covers both synonyms and antonyms. They all are multiple guess but it's VERY CONFUSING to remember which one you're supposed to be looking for because choices are listed and we just naturally go with opposites. There are several "GRE for DUMMIES" kind of books out there and they will give you lots of tips etc to prepare you with sample questions etc. One thing that I'm confused about, is the GRE....My brother is in Grad school down at UK, and the test he had to take was the GMAT....That's what I was thinking I had to take??? Different programs require different tests. I believe the GMAT is more for accounting/business and maybe even engineering degrees but . . . don't quote me on this . . . because I have no desire to pursue those types of careers!! The GRE is more "general" types of knowledge.
February 28, 200818 yr I say Duke. I plan on starting to work towards my MBA in the fall through Morehead. The MBA program is online through MSU and I have heard that it's actually a really good program. My college roommate got her MBA through Morehead's online program. Never had to go to class once. Doesn't sound like a bad deal to me.
February 28, 200818 yr Duke had a huge cheating scandal in their business school (I think last year).
February 28, 200818 yr Just remember that work experience is every bit as important as obtaining your MBA. I finished my MBA up at Michigan in '88 and was very happy with my experience both during and after grad school. Most of the schools you have listed are absolutely fantastic schools and you couldn't go wrong with any of them(although they may be pricey). I can tell you that I have noticed more and more people going for heavy work experience and a "cheap/fast" MBA from a local school or online university. In many cases(especially in 1st jobs out of school) these people are beating out graduates of very good business schools. Work experience is paramount.
