"Accepted full academic scholarship to SMU/Baylor/TCU
I fooled around a lot when I got to college - joined heavy-partying fraternity, excessive drinking, did everything besides school. Had a great time..."
Based on this little excerpt, I'm assuming it wasn't Baylor.
Why wouldn't you just do a masters?
Dude wtf are you thinking doing a second Bachelors, did a MSF or MFE make too much sense???
with a 2.8 undergrad, he aint getting into the worst of MSF/MFE programs even with a perfect quant GRE. he woulda had a shot at some really crappy MBAs but that would put him in a broke position with no job.
he made the right decision with getting a 3.5 on the new one.
This is so not true. Ok, maybe hes got no shot at top-top tiers, but he would definitely stand a chance at some Lower Tier 1 Tier 2 and Tier 3 MSFs, solid GMAT, some interesting WE, clearly a smart and savvy person. Would have made much more sense than graduating a 25-27 yr old out of college for the 2nd time looking for an entry level role. MSF programs are more about the overall application and profile of a person.
Que ANT, maybe I'm wrong but I think a MSF would be the smarter move for this guy, not a 2nd bachelors.
I was about to respond with the same answer...
Even with an above average GMAT, MSF programs and the like don't pull up their skirts for a 2.8 gpa - certainly not one in a non-finance degree. Not even the bad schools. So while I can get into an MSF along the lines of UT Austin after this BBA, I couldn't solely on the back of my first degree. I tried this option, hence the GMAT score.
I'll turn 25 literally the day I graduate. Along the lines of what Opz said, I did consider whether it would be better to graduate with a shitty bachelor's in econ and a no-brand msf at 25 versus a shitty bachelor's in econ, a decent bachelor's in fin/acct, and a really good MSF at 26. At the time it seemed like the second BBA was the better route.
Besides, what's done is done. What I am really interested in is getting opinions on what my current trajectory means in terms competitiveness for analyst positions after I graduate?
