“how is teamhydro a trader and be worried about 250 GMAT fee?” Relax manpacker, I was already trying to ascertain this, yesterday. Willy
Okay my company is going to reimburse the cost of my GMAT!!! I love my company 
Books and classes cost more… See if they’ll pay for that… like I said the GMAT cost is peanuts compared to books and classes. If your company pays for test, books, and classes without you having to score a minimum, you are golden.

They’ll definitely cover classes 100%. Books we shall see but if not, my parents have a 10k CD for me set aside for bschool. I can just pay for books out of that.
Wow. All in, I must’ve spent 10K on gmat and applying to schools/visiting schools…
Well my only choice is Chicago GSB so no point in visiting or applying to any others
I don’t know about that. Full-time is where the action’s at. It’s great that your company will pay for the part-time MBA, but going full-time is well worth it… I don’t have one, but will be starting one soon.

I disagree. The only advantage by going FT is an advantage for recruiting. But if you want a career change through the PT, you can do it just fine. Gee, company will a part-time at Chicago (roughly 80k) and I still get my annual paycheck, or I can go FT and pay it myself and not have any income. Pretty easy decision.
Is that the hallmark of success? Having an “expensive girl”? The more expensive she is now, the more likely she is to be much more expensive in 10-15 years (when she divorces you and takes 50%). Caution ahead! In any regard, I find it amusing that this guy is certain of his acceptance to U. of Chicago. Esp. given his use of “algorithym.”
“Is that the hallmark of success? Having an “expensive girl”? The more expensive she is now, the more likely she is to be much more expensive in 10-15 years (when she divorces you and takes 50%). Caution ahead!” grunt, you’re not thinking about this logically…in 10-15 years, she’ll be a different girl thrice-over but the same age.

LOL You’re jumping the gun there buddy. As for my acceptance to UC, I never said it was guaranteed. However, I’m fairly confident given who my recommenders are and the fact that my company is a feeder.
Baahaha Turk you make me laugh. And I would be careful about equating spelling prowess to b-school admissibility… They have these things called “spell-checkers” now that tend to clean up after those of us that don’t speel so whell. Crayzy kids and there crayzy compooters thiese dais.
“I’m more of a saver.” “I have an expensive girl…” You two sound perfect for each other 
hydro, is your employer “handcuffing” you at all? do you have to pay them back if you don’t stay at the firm a certain number of years after school? i’m currently negotiating b-school costs with my employer and am trying to determine what would be reasonable. thanks.
I’ve seen typically you need to be still employed for the next 5 years or else you will have to pay the tuition costs.

No that’s why I love my firm. No restrictions. I could leave the day after I get my MBA!! I have a dream job boys and girls. You probably shouldn’t do it if they require you to stay more than 2 years. JMO.
