<p>unless i fail to get into a top program, that’s what im going to work to. </p>
<p>the last thing i am worried about is cost. i live well within my means, i have no debt, and there’s time to save up even more before i actually go back to school.</p>
<p>i haven’t taken the GMAT but time and multiple tries will assure me at least a decent to good score. im still an engineer, i use problem solving techniques and basic calc and physics principles every day - i see that as an advantage.</p>
<p>those are check-marks, i need to form a plan to make me a more desirable applicant. im hoping a good GMAT score will overshadow my low GPA. but what i do now until i apply (2-3 years from now) needs to make up for what i haven’t been doing.</p>
<p>is there specific “engineering” jobs that give good work experience leading to an MBA?
in the real world, outside of school and work, what can one do to gain “good” leadership experience?
is there an MBA focus that pairs particularly well with an engineering background?</p>
