Every state girls basketball tournament is loaded with emotion.
A low GMAT score or a low GPA is not necessarily an MBA deal breaker. No adcom is going to admit or dismiss a candidate based solely on one semester’s poor GPA or a low verbal GMAT score without also reflecting on other numbers as well as the rest of the non-quantitative parts of the applicant’s profile. Average numbers vary according to school, as well as numbers within your demographic group. You should examine each of these aspects needs and weigh the strengths and weaknesses in your application before you can really start to worry. And once you’re worrying, before you figure out how to respond to those concerns.
That being said, there are certain numbers that will be significant hurdles. Say, for instance, you have a GPA of 2.9 and your top choice MBA program’s GPA average is 3.5. In such a case, your chances of acceptance have just taken a major hit. If, on
Over the last 5 years, I have had the honor and pleasure of working for both the virtual academy world and K¹² Inc. During this time, I have learned a great deal about working from home, and how to maximize my time and energy to give back to the company as best as possible, without working a 20-hour a day schedule. In doing so, I have had many people, friends and family alike, inquire as to “How do you work from home?!?”.
I would like to share, and demystify, some of these myths to bring to light the real picture of working from home. At least, for this lone wolf stationed in Castle Rock, Colorado. It’s not an image of an employee sitting at their computer, in their robe, with a bagel burning the toaster and the printing reeling non-stop, instead, it is an organized collage of projects, work, and interaction. (ok…wit
I am getting ready for my curriculum fair. I have to pick the classes I want to take for next year. This fair will give me the opportunity to speak with any department concerning curriculum and any other questions I have. All teachers and guidance counselors will be there. The classes I choose for next year will be very important, because I want to continue challenging myself through my senior year. I have some hard decisions to make.
A week ago I pummeled a major report by the Harvard Graduate School of Education, “Pathways to Prosperity: Meeting the Challenge of Preparing Young Americans for the 21st Century.” I headlined that column “Smart people + big report = dreamy nonsense.” I said that in calling for new pathways to give students who don’t want to attend college a good high school education, the report ignored the realities of limits on employers’ capacity to offer internships and school districts’ willingness to totally remake their vocational classes.
The report’s authors, being visionaries, were accustomed to being accused of impracticality, and they took my criticism in stride. They even agreed to let me pick at their reasoning in a conversation on this blog. I exchanged e-mails with Pathways to Prosperity project leaders Robert B. Schwartz, academic dean, and Ronald Ferguson, senior lecturer, both at the education school. The third author of the report was former Business Week journalist Bill Symonds.
