some general admissions questions

[jton219]

Hi. i just graduated from Cal State Fullerton with a BA in finance. My professors told me seek advisement and consider our part time MBA program. (We are about to finish a brand new business and economics building to expand the MBA and BA business programs)

Anyhow, at the advisement center, i told them my overall GPA is fairly low, 3.02, my Finance GPA is nice at 3.67. They told me many MBA programs take the "last 60 units" GPA for admission measurements. Is this true for most teir 1 and teir 2 programs MBA programs???

Also, the program advisor informed me that because i majored in business, i will have 6 MBA core classes waived, but since the maximum course wavier is 12units, i get to supplement ther remaining 2 waived classes with electives. Is the practice of waiveing core MBA requirements practiced at many 1st and 2nd teir MBA programs.

I am aiming for admission to a program in california.

UCLA would be the dream school but i will also be applying to UCSD, UCI, USC, UC DAVIS, BERKELY, with CSUF AND CSULB as my backup programs.

thank you for any responses.

any educated guesses by an admission specialist on this from prior experience?

Do most MBA programs normally only take full culmulative gpa or some for of more relevant gpa from last 60-80 units, or major gpa.???

do programs waive classes for undergrad business students that take "equivilent courses"

They look at your cumulative GPA. As for waiving classes, it varies by school.
