Finding a good fit

Well the GMAT results are in and I did fairly well.

Now we’re one step closer to the big decision.

Yessidey and I are both on board that now is the time to earn my Masters in Business Administration. It’s been 3 years since I graduated from PSU and during that time I have accumulated a wealth of experiences and business opportunities which will provide a solid foundation for me to build upon. We’ve studied out programs, analyzed tuition costs, and mapped out cities that we would like to live in. (Plus we’ve had strong influential urgings from family.)

There are programs in tier one schools such as Stanford, Harvard, and Chicago which provide a good education, strong alumni network and impeccable name recognition. But they are ridiculously expensive and I’d have to study a little more and retake the GMAT to be considered. My niche is that of an affordable program, respected, which sustains a good return on investment. Another caveat is that I would prefer to stay in Texas or move back to the Northwest to be closer to family. Based on that criteria, I have begun the application process to the University of Oregon and the University of Texas – Dallas.
