Obtaining an MBA has been a lifelong ambition of mine. I am finishing up Undergrad and have done so while being a father, working full time and owning a small business. I have a 3.3 cumulative GPA and the schools I am applying for aren’t requiring me to take the GSAT because of my GPA and experience.
Being in a professional position and owning a business have allowed me to have a “One-up” on my classmates at times. In graduate school the students i have met while visiting are extremely bright and professional. Almost intimidatingly so. Most are much older as well.
I have watched many of my peers fail out of undergrad already, or drop due to family and career reasons.
Can an MBA be obtained (In a cohort program) while taking on this workload? does the level of difficulty increase dramatically between uppergrad work and the mba program?
Is the age difference mostly due to the fact that it is a cohort program?
