Entrepreneurship and Getting Your MBA

[rcavezza]

For everyone who I haven't met yet, I'm a recent graduate of Rutgers University (NJ) with a marketing degree. I am considering going to graduate school for my MBA while I manage my online/brick-and-mortar companies.

I am targeting Babson for its entrepreneurial concentration. It was ranked highly by entrepreneur.com. I am also looking into UCLA and USC. Would anyone with experience want to make recommendations or share some stories.

[GPA 3.7 and currently studying for GMATs]

I applied to Babson for my undergrad degree and got waitlisted but I was very impressed by their printed material that they sent to me.

I seem to remember they had many courses that would offer projects and programs where you would start new businesses, etc just for learning experiences. It sounds great. I think what is most important at Babson would be the contacts and networks you would establish with fellow entrepreneurs. Other driven individuals and future potential business partners are very useful contacts to have. The professors there would also serve as great mentors. If I were you, I would go for it.

I don't know how recently you graduated, but either way congrats I just graduated myself a few days ago from Hofstra.
