LSU is looking like my likely destination for my MBA.

AACSB accredited (which is a must, and why I'm not using APSU).

The ability to start sooner rather than later (I can start in October as compared to January with UTK for example).

Best of luck

Does your present employer not offer educational benefits covering an advanced degree?

They do. However, A. I have the GI Bill. B. F*** UGA or any other GA school lol (outside of GT and UGA, they aren't highly ranked anyway). C. I don’t plan on working for GSU much longer

Also, if you look a few post back there are a few requirements that must be met.

I want to start this fall. (GT for example, I'd have to wait until January).
AASCB accreditation is a must (APSU is not and a few years away)
TBH the biggest thing, I don't want to write 2-3 essays or get 2-3 letters of recommendation (LSU only requires 1 "essay" so to speak).

Sometimes networking is as important as the degree itself. GT has an EXCELLENT placement plan, and is on a short list for a TON of high tech companies. If that is a possibility and you can get in, that is a huge bonus to their program.....their people get a lot of headhunters attention.

All good.

I’m not writing more than 1 essay. I’m not starting in the “spring.”

Understand, I have very little to offer on this topic, but i have some immediate family who went through GT for various degrees, and just wanted to offer that. I have been very impressed with how far they go to help alumni both when they graduate and beyond when job hunting. Have an in-law who had already been working awhile, and when they got the itch their placement program helped them find a better dream job even though they were not a recent grad. Once upon a time I really wanted to get my International MBA and I didn't make it happen, and I have some regrets. I ended up buying my own books and just sort of self teaching, and that's not the same. ( But I do recommend Josh Kaufman, and Jason Barron's books) The latter one does the Visual MBA, and I have bought that one as a gift for a couple of people. I got married had a kid and as the song goes All of the answers and all of the questions were locked in my attic one day 'Cause I liked the quiet clean country living And twenty more years slipped away... My dream school was actually the Moore school at Univ of South Carolina..it's known for it's international buisiness school, and hopping the world and sleeping in airports hadn't been unromanticized for me yet. There was a time I read Economics and Asian geo-politics books like they were Zane Grey novels.....

I wish you luck and success. Get it done.

Oh I'll get it done. It's now or never lol.

It's not about getting a better job (or even wanting the damn thing really). I took 10 classes from October 2023 until August of '24 to finish my Bachelor's. I'm in "the grind", hence why I want to start now. If I wait, I'm not going to do it
