<p>Well I feel a bit overwhelemed by the rest of you! You guys are great, wonderful schools, GPAs and all. Sorry if this does not belong here. I’m new and this is my first post.</p>
<p>My Goal: Get an MBA with a concentration in marketing (definitely felt that I didn’t learn enough about it in undergrad. When you’ve only taken 5 marketing classes, one of which is the “intro” class that I think is used to help juniors figure out what their concentration will be, it doesn’t really give you a great understanding of the subject. Then again our program was set up to be that way so you could learn a bit of everything in the business world - a “liberal arts business degree” if you will. I just graduated in May of this year actually).</p>
<p>Undergrad School: Doubt that you’ve ever heard of it, unless you watch college basketball (or if you’re applying to either the Law or Dental schools in Sacramento or SF respectively) - University of the Pacific. It’s a small school located in Northern California.</p>
<p>Degree: Bachelor of Science in Business Administration concentration marketing. Minor in theatre.</p>
<p>GPA: 3.56</p>
<p>ECs/JE: Internship for multiple years at a hotel, successful sole proprietor, I also did some philanthropy as a part of my professional theatre fraternity (I’m a woman but my organization is co-ed thus we call it a fraternity, we actually have more females than males in it). I’ve done more philanthropy-related work outside of my fraternity. I also have a few awards, literary features, and public speaking events under my belt.</p>
<p>I will be taking the GMAT soon, I’ve been studying but I’m still nervous.</p>
<p>Schools that I am applying to: Stanford, Berkeley, UC Davis, and USF (San Francisco just to clarify).</p>
<p>Out of curiousity do you guys think that this is a good list of schools for MBA in the Northern California region?</p>
