So I walked into the Finance department on campus today to talk to an academic advisor, as is required of all first year students. Now, I transfered into this college with a full bachelors degree under my belt and had decided to set about getting a Finance degree and I'm doing well with it so far and registration for Spring starts on the 30th, so I figured it was time.
The advisor took one look at me and basically said, "You don't belong here. You should be in a Masters program!"
And I protested, explaining that my first degree was nowhere near related to Finance or Business and that the GPA was rather craptastic, but he insisted that if I get a good GMAT score, with my seven years of lending operations experience, I should be a shoo in. And he added more than once that I would do "just great" there.
So I walked out twenty minutes later with a referral to CU Denver's MBA office. Now it looks like I may be taking the Spring semester off to take a GMAT prep course instead of the classes I had planned to take. It's totally crazy to me that I would qualify with my previous grades and coursework, but according to the school's website, I should be accepted without a problem.
So, uh, yay for sudden changes in plans? I'm overwhelmed by the idea, but very excited about it. I feel like I've just been told I'm going to skip the 8th grade and go directly to my junior year of high school.
