@blossom I looked up UMichigan Class Profile for 2015
http://www.bus.umich.edu/RecruiterInformation/Profiles/ClassProfiles/Mba2015.htm
It doesn’t necessarily say if some of their students came from APU. Can you please advise if there is some other link?
Do you HAVE TO major in “Applied Studies”? What about a majoring in Applied Math? Statistics? Or anything you’re good at - economics, Spanish, art, history, sociology, philosophy, classics…? To which you’d add a few statistics/math classes? That’d be better than Applied Studies.
Graduates from Azusa probably attend grad school in California. There’s probably only one APU graduate who goes to Ross in 2-5 years, simply because of geography - for a top graduate in California, there’s Haas, there’s Viterbi…
In order to be accredited, an MBA must require 2 or 3 years of work in a antry-level (to career) position (ie., not a random job serving fries at McDonald’s).
What classes are you taking right now?
What’s your GPA (or what are your current grades)?
@LostStudent12 – it’s worth taking a hard look at that link you found.
Did you notice how 27% of their students majored in business, 21% in the humanities, 21% in engineering, and 17% in economics?
And did you notice how the average age of the students was 28 and the average work experience was 5 years?
And of course you noticed that they don’t mention undergraduate schools at all.
On average, reputable MBA programs aren’t enrolling people straight from college. This should suggest to you that the name of your undergraduate school is largely irrelevant. You will be admitted based on your GMAT score, your work experience, your gpa, etc. The emphasis should be on burnishing those credentials rather than trying to get someone here to figure out what “Applied Studies” at APU actually means.
