Can you do an MBA straight out of high school?
I don't agree at all. If you left high school to go straight into business, did that for a decade and decided you wanted to learn the academic side of things there's no reason you should have to go through all the basics if you've been living them for a while. While I haven't done this in business(I just learned that it was possible which a google search brought me here) I am a self study in spanish and when I went back to school I decided to sign up for a few spanish courses and I had to go to the advanced ones immediately because the basics were too easy. I think straight from highschool might not work but there's no reason you'd need a formal bachelors to get a masters if you know everything the bachelors covers from experience. To put it another way. You don't have to know the names of the chess pieces to be good at the game.
Columbia University MBA Program Requirements.?
I'm currently a senior at New Jersey's Institute of Technology with an accumulative GPA of 3.3. Graduating soon with a BS in Information Technology. I'm also enrolled in the BS/MBA program which allows me to take graduate courses as an undergraduate student. When I graduate with my Bachelor's degree I will have completed 12 graduate credits towards my MBA. I expect to have a high GPA towards my Master's upon achieving my BS. I'm looking to apply to Columbia University Graduate Business School as well as NYU Graduate Business School. Both very prestigious school with competitive applicants. What would my chances of acceptance be at both these schools with my current credentials and a good score on the GMAT?
Which one is better - Thapar University CS+MBA (dual degree) or IIIT Tiruchurapalli CS/IT?
CS is a very good course to pursue in undergraduate. However, I feel, for an MBA, on e needs to have a good idea about how industry works. A MBA straight out of college will be just another degree and cannot lead to a holistic development. Unless you have seen the work-sphere and understood how a particular industry work, only then you can be able to lead there as a manager.IIIT's are colleges with special focus only on CS and IT, hence it makes their reputation highly focused. Even Thapar, has very good reputation in the north. Still, I would have suggested you to go for Tiruchurapalli as it is closer to the IT hub, Bangalore.However, you need to focus on other factors as well, like finance (which will be a determining factor if you are taking up a loan to fund your education), proximity to your home(if you are very close to your parents, you would like to visit them once in a month or so) and your adjusting capabilities( like the food and environment of the place). They seem to be minor factors, but do remember you'll be staying there for 4/5 years and these factors may accumulate and thus reflect on your performance in the college as-well.Remember, whatever decision you take, it will be a good one. In the end, the college name, the degree are just names, what stands between you and your success is your hard-work, creativity and inquisitiveness.All the best!
Straight out of college,should I go for MBA?
Generally speaking, no. A modern MBA is not the generalist degree that some people believe it is. You will need the perspective provided by at least a few years of experience to select your focus areas, and you will need to show competence in an industry environment. The high ranked institutions will generally not take students without work experience. Harvard takes some of the youngest students in their 2+2 program, but still requires experience.
Should I get my MBA right after my undergraduate program?
No, for one thing, the better programs wont even accept anyone without work experience unless they show commitment towards an academic career, to which it's okay not to have work experience. Second, you wont appreciate nor understand the managerial ideas behind what an MBA focuses on. A lot of it is about organizational topics. But you have no idea how organizations run if you've never been employed in one. Likewise, you wont understand budgetary, marketing, or other ideas other than what you've learned in a classroom, which is very shallow. Third, an MBA without work experience can be dangerous. Employers either see you as too afraid to enter the real world, or they see you as overqualified for the entry level positions you apply for, but underqualified for any mid level position. The result is that you'll have a vigorously difficult time finding work.
In a few years I'll be going to university, is it a good idea to get an MBA straight out of high school?
You can not go for MBA right after High School. You have to study an Undergraduate course. Without that, you cannot do MBA. After you complete your Undergradute course you gain experience through Internships or Full-Time Jobs. They add weightage to your Grad School Application.
How true is it that MBA graduates make 100k straight out of school?
At the very best schools, that is certainly the case—but it’s really hard to get into a top 50 MBA program. All of them are very selective and reject the vast majority of people who apply for admission. The total first-year compensation for MBA grads of the top 50 schools is in six figures, though at the lower-ranked schools salaries would be less than $100K, but the bonus money would put you over that amount.Consider the University of Tennessee. The average salary for a recent MBA grad there was $88,560, but because the average bonus, received by 61% of the class, was $13,634, the total comes to $102,394.At the very top end, Stanford, the average salary was $144,455, but the bonus money is so significant, both signing bonuses and year-end guaranteed bonuses, that a Stanford MBA makes more than $250,000 in his or her first year after graduation.All of this depends on the school brand, the field you enter, the location of the job, and how qualified a candidate you are for the job you are going after. Here’s our latest look at MBA pay:MBA salary plus bonus plus other compensation at the top 50 U.S. News schools
Can you get into Stanford school of business straight out of bachelors?
It’s possible, but I wouldn’t recommend it. There was maybe one person in our entire 2014 class of ~400 at the GSB who was straight out of undergrad, and I believe he had some significant experience working in startups.First, you won’t have as much to differentiate yourself from the pack with just undergrad experience. Business school admissions is very much about how you add to the class dynamic, and everybody has an undergrad degree.Second, b-school classes expect you to have some amount of full-time working experience. Many classes are discussion or case-study oriented, and students often rely on their past work experience as a guidepost to frame their thoughts and responses. There are some exceptions in terms of folks with other advanced degrees (e.g. PhD, JD, MS, etc.) but these folks also have unique viewpoints to contribute to the discussion.Third, there is also something to be said about the maturity mindset of somebody who’s had full-time employment. College and the working world are two very different beasts. A 22-year-old college grad looks at life very differently even from someone 1 or 2 years out, and most bschool folks have 4–6 years experience coming into the class.Finally, most internships and full-time jobs post-bschool expect candidates to have full-time work experience as well. An undergrad-only candidate may find themselves with limited employment options or at a disadvantage when looking at available positions.
Should I get a masters in English or an MBA?
My undergrad is in economics, then at last second, I added English as well. I thoroughly enjoyed both so far, but grad school is much different then undergrad. I have a cool MBA program at my current school, and enjoy the way this private university goes about teaching business and values. However, i dont feel im naturally good at math and business. I do fine, if I study hard, I can get straight A's-- its just not /natural/. English comes so easy, I enjoy writing and reading pieces, and I always get A's in english related classes with little effort. I also have aims of pursuing a PhD, (maybe a professor someday,) but in something specialized. I know it requires a long time and research and specialization, but im not worried about that now. Thats way in the future. I know that I can probably get where I want with a Masters in either, (but i also am aware that some people claim a business degree is more 'useful' but an english degree is more 'fun' (give or take). Given this context, I really wanted to catch anyone's opinion who may be knowledgeable in this area or have any helpful advice in this stressful time. I always thought when I was in undergrad, the answer would come to me and I would just know, but it didnt haha. thanks,
How can I qualify for IT jobs above help desk straight out of college?
If (and to be honest it’s a big if) you did a placement during your university/college career in another specialism (thus gaining the right practical experience to go with your degree), you might get the chance to become a desktop support tech or similar when you graduate. You’ll still likely end up starting at the bottom of the salary scale though.
