Was in the exact same boat 4 years back- let’s be honest GMAT sucks and I’m glad I’m done with it. Just power through and get it out of the way. Best of Luck!!

Someone with exact thought about GMAT and who did it a while back, my only advice is do not prolong it if you decide to go for it. Have a 3-4 months plan where you prepare hard and be done with it, don't plan for it a year later or sometime in future, it will be difficult to stay motivated and you will start hating it for ruining your social life with every passing month.

Retweet.

Yep. Never did, never took it. Now it’s too late lol I’m studying for the gre instead and maybe do a masters

Company pays for like 75% of it and masters is way cheaper than mba. I kind of do regret it - I should’ve gotten it together earlier but everything happens for a reason and I’ll be okay.

I would appreciate your perspective.
I am currently working on my MBA in a professional evening and weekend program at a highly accredited university. I am thinking about transferring to a much smaller private online program, specifically because they offer a concentration in organizational health, which directly builds on my doctoral research. Does great depth and specialization outweigh the value of a highly respected generalist degree?
