How to Single Out Your Business School Admission

Have you ever stopped to think about the twists and turns your life makes? I have been reflecting more on this lately, I believe it is because I am getting older and my youngest is going to college. When I attended college I had so many big plans to make enormous differences in our social service system through my career as a social worker. After twenty five years I fear I have become part of the system and now I count the time to get retired.

My oldest son has joined the army by following in his father's footsteps. My youngest one wants to get a degree in business. He has been preparing for business school admission during the past year. Neither my husband nor I have any background in business so we have not been capable to help him. My brother-in-law has offered to help him with the business school admission since he has been very successful in the insurance business. This is quite a competitive area and we think that it is one of those cases that who you know can have a great impact on getting in.

There are many colleges and universities that are within one hundred miles from our home. Two of them are recognized for their school of business. Our son thinks it is very important to have his degree from one of the top ranked schools in such a competitive field. He was given this information from his guidance counselor and my brother-in-law agrees. The business school admission is a complicated process which I don't completely understand. My son will not be in the business school until he completes his general education classes. The grades he gets in his general education classes plus the recommendations from professors will help him attend the business school.

A priority is given to those students that receive their general education at the same university. So even though the cost of tuition for the general education classes is higher at this school than the university close to our home, he is convinced that he wants to go there. I am in agreement that he has to get his complete education from one school since I have heard many stories about credits not transferring from one university to another. My husband and I are just going to have to put off our retirement for a couple more years to help him pay for the cost of his education. Perhaps if he well succeeds he will support us in our retirement.
