grichmond Verified User. Likes Earned: 1151 Have you done much research into where the marketing functions for these firms are located? I know that some of these firms do quite a bit of marketing work out of NYC too... I agree that UCLA and Ross seem like natural additions. Numbers are solid, but a bit more pedestrian for the likes of Wharton/Kellogg. I presume you have pushed the GRE as far as you think it can go (taken it more than once, etc)?

transitioningvet357 Likes Earned: 13 I have reached out to the Veterans clubs at all of the schools I am applying to and gotten a fair bit of help with the process/applications. I have also been considering Anderson and Stern, its just a matter or bandwidth for the applications. I put most of my time/effort into the GRE for the past few months and moved from a 311 to a 323, but its left me with room for maybe one more application. As far as post MBA career, I'm actually between marketing for tech and CPG, but I have written all of my essays with a tech focus because I have more experience with tech in my background. Given the comments, I feel like I should probably put an app in for UCLA as well. (1)
