Rollins MBA
Before posting anywhere I always do my research so I am not asking/stating old information. But have not found much info on WSO on Rollins college in winter park florida MBA program. I love the location, I am not to fond of the idea of attending an MBA program unless its a top school, but the thought of an MBA is growing on me I must admit. Anyway back on topic, the Rollins MBA interests me because of location, POTENTIAL financial aid, and the big one alumni. The faculty seems very respectable, and curriculum does too. Maybe some more room for specializations would be helpful.
I want to speak more about the alumni though; this school is known as a preppy rich kid school. And I have always hated the idea of getting something handed to me. But with all the research and reading, and talking with professionals, everyone says the same common thing: "its about who you know". And when I think of an MBA I just think of networking.
I talk to much for a simple question, so in short, does anyone have any good knowledge on Rollins MBA program?
thanks,
Rembo
Is this full time? What's your background? What are your goals? Who's paying?
I don't, but what are there employment statistics?
IF I were to apply it would be to the early advantage MBA. I have read a lot on their website, and they offer some great scholarships for an MBA program, which to my knowledge is pretty rare, especially to this degree. But it seems like if you make 720+ on GMAT and have a good GPA forget amount and could not find it this time I searched but I believe its around 3.2 to 3.7+ I know its a big spread but point is for me I am over those. It is a little under 70,000$ program a little absurd... but again one of only reasons considering is if I am eligible for scholarships and because of alumni.
Yes it is full time, background: In my second semester junior year at a small liberal arts college, double major in accounting, and business, I have a 3.87-3.9 around gpa. Goals for me are broad, pretty much I can break it down to wanting to be in commodities, International business/management, emerging markets, real estate even. I love business and just want to be happy doing something I enjoy, sorry if this does not help much. I would love to eventually own a small business, like my dad does. Payment not to sure honestly, sorry.
Sorry cant find direct statistics on employment, here is a link of employers that have hired past two years. Just off research though I have found Rollins has a pretty good network.
You're still in college? If you can't get a quality job then apply to msf programs. Don't do an mba out if undergrad
Yes I am, and thanks for the information, so basically what I have gathered are MBAs that are geared toward people with no experience are not worth it? dont want to use scam... but in pointless?
@rembo You seem to be a halfway decent dude that really doesn't know, so I'll try to summarize for you briefly. I assume that if you expand your search to MBA out of undergrad you'd probably find some decent info and possibly more detailed responses.
Any top MBA program expects experience. I believe the average work experience at most top-20 schools is around 4-5 years. It is extremely important to go to the best school possible because if you're going to spend ~$100k more on school, you'd better got a job that's worth the cost. Beyond that, most post-MBA jobs are geared towards non-entry level roles, so you'll be expected to have some experience and ability to deal with/manage people. Going straight out of undergrad negates any possibility of getting those jobs.
Most importantly, the MBA is an awesome bullet in your career arsenal, but there's only one bullet. B-school allows you to change directions in your career, and gives you incredible access to employers, even outside of top 10 schools. However, you only get to use the chance once, so you want to make sure that 1) you're able to get into the best school possible (typically requires experience) and 2) you have a decent idea what you want to do afterwards so you can take advantage of the recruiting opportunities. Essentially, you want to save your shot until you're sure the timing is right.
I would take a look around at some of the other business school threads. Read through the pinned thread with Clear Admit and Betsy Massar's thread, which are both a couple hundred posts long and will give you a lot of general background.
