I've got the same problem in deciding. It's not at all easy is it? I'm looking at some free college videos at the moment which not only show lots of details of each college but also talk to the students there to find out the real lowdown on what's good and what's bad about that college. They've certainly helped me to get a lot closer to making my decision.

If you're interested, you can see the videos at http://www.free-college-videos.com

Good luck!

I'm a major in finance, and calculus..economics..accounting haven't been easy. Getting a B in all 3 has proved a task.

Without the disclaimer, is finance/other business degrees such as accounting the hardest major?

I've taken history courses, and other fact related/essay courses which don't require you do spend an hour on one page problems or actually require you to use applicative skills.

But what do you feel is the toughest B.A.?
cal…no offense but you're a moron.

Just because you get business doesn't mean you'll breeze through all the applicative processes required, business makes you think, you have to actually use your brain…most degrees dont require that

The toughest B.A. for me is a degree in veternary medicine, especially since it's so competitive. Engineering is another whooper that will give you a wedgie for 4 years if you aren't careful (my husband is an engineer).

I have a BA in communications, and honestly it was the easiest degree I've ever worked on. I'm currently working on a meterology degree, and it's kicking my butt something fierce.

Account is a LOT of memorizing, but if you like numbers then you would probably like it.

If you enjoy it, then working a little harder is going to be worth it .

Good luck!

Do i have a chance at admission?

By the end of my 11th grade year i should have a cumulative gpa from 10-11th grade of a 2.8-3.05, and a 1600 SAT score, how do my chances look?

CAN'T DECIDE!! NEED TO DECIDE SOON I have less than a year!!
Ranto i know you disdain CSU's with a passion but suck on these facts.

Hey I loved your additional comment! I hate that guy the way he puts down CSU's. He's such a snob!

Anyways:

SDSU is really impacted, so the entrance GPA is higher than it used to be. I think you have a fantastic chance at getting into CSUN.

I go to SDSU and I absolutely love it. I am a senior now!!! The campus is beautiful and I love my professors. However, I would absolutely LOVE to go to CSUF!!!! I didn't have the heart to move 100 miles from home to go there.

SDSU is pretty awesome. CSUF is pretty super awesome, and it ranks really well. SDSU just got a $1 million grant for the business program.

If you love all three, I would say go for CSUF!

Then SDSU, then CSUN.

They're all great schools, but man Fullerton is so cool and I heard they have a great downtown!

I love San Diego too. The city and the school.

Tough decision! Here, I am going to find my old post about what I tell people who ask about SDSU and I'll add it here.

As for student life, this is what I wrote for someone else's question about SDSU:

I'm not living on campus. I transfered in, so I came in last year. I've known people who have lived on campus and enjoyed it. A lot of students live either in the immediate area or the beach. The immediate area, known as "college area" is like one big student community, so it doesn't feel like a commuter school. Area code 92115 is our dorm!

I have enjoyed the classroom setting. I have never had a class of more than 80 students. I only took 2 lower division classes here, so I don't have too much personal experiences as a lower division student. There can be a lot of people in your intro courses, but that happens at lots of schools.

I have learned a lot here. I have been challenged by my major . I feel I am getting a great education.

It's a fun place, lots of student organizations. Lots of events. Explore SDSU happens in March of each year and it's a blast! There is the Border Voices Poetry Festival each spring as well and that is awesome!

There is the Aztec recreation center with tons of new equipment and a huge indoor pool. You can go on nature trips with other students via Aztec Adventures and go on a day hike or a yoga retreat in Joshua Tree or even kayaking in Baja California!

The library is awesome and there is a huge computer lab.

We also have Cox Arena and Open Air Theatre on campus, and huge bands always play here.

If you are not bringing a car, no worries. The trolley stops right underneath the university! Parking is insane, but you can park at Qualcomm Stadium for free so long as there aren't any events, or you can park at some other stations anf ride the trolley into campus and not worry about parking.

Hey, good luck in your decision and if you choose SDSU, welcome and I hope you love it!

Student life is pretty awesome here!

Fraternity and Sororities are pretty big on campus. I chose the student organziation life though.

I am considering CSUN for grad school. I don't know much about it. Here's the link to a youtube video about the school that made me pretty interested. I live too far to visit right now.

Any help from past/current students would be a big help.

(Incidentally, I already went to an audio school so I’m not so much interested in the “working at a recording studio” perspective).

Thanks!

Full Sail is an accredited university so that should put your fears at rest. Any degree you receive from this university will be acceptable by employers and other universities if you wish to continue into graduate school.

This will answer at least part of your question. I would also get in contact with Full Sail U to determine from them where their graduates are employed. From this information you might be able to contact some of its alumni and speak with them directly about their careers and income.

That would be my approach. If you want to be fully informed before deciding whether FSU is for you, then you have to do a bit of legwork. You will be surprised how much valuable information you will uncover.

I didn’t have enough room above, albeit I meant to ask what else I should study to prepare for the GMAT.

there’s only one thing you can do: practise !!!!
do as many practice questions as you can.

If you have an MBA how did you do it? Where did you go? and did it help you in career advancement?

I had a BA in Business concentrating in MIS and currently work in IT as an applications support analyst/help desk.

Some programs are absolutely outstanding. Others are the bottom of the pile. There are places like Duke U. doing their MBA online and that MBA has much more value than one from say, Eastern Yourstate State College in the classroom.

The thing is, online at a quality school is really hard. There's a lot of writing to do and you don't get the 1:1 time with the instructor. You have to be a top-notch manager of time to do well in these programs.

The best advice, attend the best school you can get into (online or classroom) and do the best quality work you are able while there.

I’m having trouble deciding between the two offers!!

I can see the benefits of doing the MBA. I have very little to no professional experience, and the MBA will give me a better understanding of different areas in business (marketing, finance, management, etc), make me more employable, increase my career prospects, and boost my future salary.

BUT, I also realise that if I choose to do the Master’s of Logistics Management degree, it will allow me to specialise and ’streamline’ my career and professional skills and qualities. I’ve also been told that logistics is an important function for many businesses nowadays and a good area to get into. While pursuing my Bachelor degree, I’ve also studied some electives that emphasise on logistics and supply chain management, and decided that it’s an industry I’d like to get into.

I think the MBA will make me a good all-round employee in the future and boost my career prospects, but the Master’s of Logistics Management will allow me to specialise in an area that I’m interested in.

Which do you think is a better choice for me? Is Logistics a good area to seek employment in?

Thank you very much for your input.

Consult the Official MBA Guide, a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide.

You can use the Guide to contact schools of your choice, examine their data, visit their web site, and send them pre applications. You can see lists of top 40 schools ranked by starting salaries of graduates, GMAT scores, and other criteria. It’s the best service available at http://officialmbaguide.org.

I think you should go with the Master's of Business (Logistics Management) there should be a lot of jobs in that area and you'll look like someone who is an awesome specialist in the field. It is also an area you are genuinely interested in so that's great.
