Business School Admission- Info/Advice

Business School Admission Information

Have you ever thought about the twists and turns your life makes? I have been reflecting more on this lately, I believe it is because I am getting older and my youngest is going to college. When I was in college I had such big plans to make huge differences in our social service system in my profession as a social worker. I fear I have become part of the system after twenty five years and now I count the time to get retired.

My oldest son is following in his father's footsteps and has joined the military. My youngest son wants to get a degree in business. Most of the past year he has been preparing for business school admission. Neither my husband nor I have any background in business so we have not been able to help him. My brother-in-law has offered to help our son with the business school admission because he has been very successful in the insurance business. Since this is a very competitive area so we are finding that it is one of those cases that who you know might have a great impact on being admitted.

Within one hundred miles from our home there are several colleges and universities. Two of them are recognized for their school of business. Our son feels it is really important to have his degree from one of the top ranked schools in such a competitive field. He was given this information from his guidance counselor and my brother-in-law agrees. The businessschooladmission is a complex procedure that I don't fully understand. My son will not be in the business school until he completes his general education classes. The grades he gets in his general education classes along with recommendations from professors will help him attend the business school.

A priority is given to those students that receive their general education at the same university. So even though the cost of tuition for the general education classes is higher at this school than the university close to our home, he is convinced that he needs to go there. I am in agreement that he has to obtain his complete education from one school because I have heard many stories about credits not transferring from one university to another. To help him pay for the cost of his education, my husband and I are just going to have to put off our retirement for a couple more years. Perhaps if he is successful enough he will support us when we retire.
