I               finished               my               undergraduate               degree               at               the               end               of               the               spring               semester               of               2005               at               the               University               of               Connecticut.

From               there               I               went               to               work               at               Sears               in               Waterford,               Connecticut               as               the               Home               Improvement               lead               (kind               of               like               a               manager               but               not               really).

After               toiling               away               for               about               6               months               in               this               high               stress               job               I               got               a               tip               about               a               job               opening               as               a               contractor               at               Pfizer.

I               went               and               interviewed               in               January               of               2006               and               did               well               receiving               an               offer               within               a               few               hours               of               the               end               of               the               interview.

For               the               next               three               years               here               is               what               I               learned.

To               make               the               jump               from               computer               tech               to               manager               in               a               larger               pharmaceutical               company               takes               an               act               of               god.

Now               don't               get               me               wrong               I               loved               each               and               every               one               of               my               jobs               at               Pfizer               since               January               2006               (I               rotated               on               and               off               a               few               projects).

But               having               owned               my               own               business               for               3               years               in               the               early               part               of               the               twenty-first               century               I               knew               I               wanted               more.

I               wanted               to               be               back               in               a               management               role.
               Fast               forward               to               December               2008.

I               had               been               flirting               with               the               notion               of               going               back               to               graduate               school               to               bolster               my               resume               for               much               of               2008.

Well,               in               December               I               had               an               epiphany               and               decided               I               wanted               to               attend               the               Spring               2009               semester.

The               only               problem               was               I               had               nothing               ready,               absolutely               nothing.

Here               is               what               I               did               to               get               accepted               to               the               part-time               MBA               program               at               the               University               of               Connecticut's               School               of               Business               in               Hartford               (whew,               that's               a               mouthful).
               The               very               first               thing               I               did               was               call               up               and               see               if               I               could               get               a               waiver               for               the               dreaded               GMAT.

That               was               a               big               no,               so               I               went               to               www.mba.com               and               started               up               an               account               at               the               website.

From               there               I               pleaded               with               my               parents               to               give               me               the               $250               test               fee.

After               a               little               wrangling               I               managed               to               make               my               test               date               on               January               9th.

I               then               booked               over               to               Borders               (hope               you               got               that               pun)               and               purchased               the               best               prep               book               I               could               find               which               happened               to               be               the               Princeton               Review               book.

I               then               immediately               placed               that               book               somewhere               where               I               knew               it               would               collect               dust               just               for               procrastination               sakes.
               I               then               applied               online               to               the               school               and               bookmarked               the               requirements               page.

I               pretty               much               reviewed               this               page               every               couple               of               days               to               make               sure               I               knew               what               the               school               wanted.

I               then               contacted               several               people,               around               five               and               kindly               asked               them               to               write               a               letter               of               recommendation               and               mail               it               to               the               campus.

The               school               only               required               two               letters               but               I               figured               the               last               thing               you               want               is               to               find               out               just               before               the               deadline               that               one               of               the               people               you               asked               had               forgotten               the               letter.

I               then               opened               my               resume               on               my               computer               and               updated               it               as               necessary               and               sent               that               in               with               my               resident               affidavit.
               All               that               was               left               was               my               letter               of               intent               and               the               feared               and               loathed               GMAT,               which               I               remember               I               needed               to               study               for.

So               around               the               end               of               December               I               broke               out               my               GMAT               book               and               blew               off               the               dust               and               made               an               effort               to               study.

I               studied               and               I               studied.

I               watched               videos               and               I               took               practice               test,               in               my               opinion               I               would               immediately               take               the               practice               test               and               use               that               to               hone               your               skills.

The               GMAT               is               a               very               funky               test               and               quite               hard.

So               by               the               time               the               week               of               my               test               rolled               around               I               was               scoring               above               500               and               feeling               good               about               the               test.
               Friday               morning,               January               9th,               2009.

I               woke               up               extra               early               and               drove               to               the               testing               center               more               that               3               hours               early               to               give               myself               time               to               do               a               little               cramming               before               hand.

I               found               a               nice               Starbucks               in               a               Target               at               Westerly,               Rhode               Island               and               grabbed               my               book               and               had               some               coffee.

I               then               reported               to               the               testing               center               15               minutes               early               and               signed               some               forms               and               locked               some               snacks               up               in               a               locker.

Then               they               seated               me               for               the               test.
               The               first               part               of               the               test               is               the               Analytical               Writing               portion,               essentially               two               essays               you               need               to               complete               during               a               one-hour               time               frame.

One               essay               is               Analysis               of               an               Argument               and               the               other               is               Analysis               of               an               Issue.

Now               during               my               studying               the               practice               test               always               had               the               Issue               essay               first               so               I               just               assumed               this               was               how               it               was.

I               got               my               question               and               the               timer               started.

I               breezed               through               the               essay               and               felt               fully               confident               that               I               was               going               to               kick               some               butt               on               this               test.

I               hit               the               next               button               to               go               to               the               next               essay               and               the               screen               said               congratulations               you               have               completed               the               Analysis               of               an               Argument               essay.

I               reread               the               statement               and               immediately               began               to               feel               hot               and               flushed.

I               just               wrote               the               perfect               Issue               essay               for               the               Argument               part.

Son               of               a               Bee.

I               trudged               into               the               next               essay               and               wrote               a               similarly               structured               essay.

I               then               took               the               optional               ten-minute               break               to               recollect               myself.
               Then               I               went               and               sat               down               for               the               math               portion               of               the               test.

I               had               been               brushing               up               and               felt               fairly               confident.

Then               the               first               question               popped               up.

I               had               absolutely               no               idea               how               to               solve               it.

I               stared               and               stared               remembering               that               the               Princeton               Review               book               said               the               first               4-5               questions               are               the               most               important               in               both               the               verbal               and               math               portions.

The               book               said               to               take               more               time               to               ensure               that               these               questions               are               correct.

Here               I               was               staring               at               the               first               question               with               no               idea               what-so-ever               how               to               solve               it.

The               rest               of               the               math               section               is               a               blur,               I               felt               good               and               bad               but               I               have               a               burning               memory               of               that               first               question               and               the               feeling               of               impending               doom               when               I               had               to               guess               the               answer.
               Next               was               the               verbal               section.

There               isn't               much               to               report               on               that               other               than               you               need               to               brush               up               on               your               basic               grammar               before               you               attempt               the               GMAT.

So               I               reached               the               final               question               and               hit               the               next               button               and               the               test               brings               you               to               a               page               where               you               decide               whether               or               not               you               want               to               view               your               scores.

If               you               hit               NO               then               the               scores               get               dumped               and               you               never               know               what               happened               and               you               are               out               $250.

If               you               hit               yes               you               get               your               unofficial               score               report               and               a               printout               to               fax               to               the               school.

Well,               school               starts               in               eleven               days               so               I               felt               I               had               no               choice               even               though               I               was               pretty               sure               I               bombed               the               test.
               Now               the               University               of               Connecticut               doesn't               have               a               minimum               required               GMAT               score               to               get               into               the               program               (thank               god)               but               they               do               have               an               average               of               participating               students.

UConn's               average               was               something               like               550-580               or               somewhere               around               there.

I               then               hit               the               accept               button               to               print               out               my               unofficial               score               sheet.

That               one               action               brought               down               the               average               score               of               participating               student.

I               did               in               fact               make               get               accepted               and               I               wrote               a               wonderful               letter               of               intent.

My               whole               package               was               completed               and               submitted               by               the               12th               of               January.

I               got               my               acceptance               letter               the               following               day               via               mail.
               In               my               own               opinion               I               think               schools               will               favor               work               experience,               a               well-written               letter               of               intent,               and               so               flattering               letters               of               recommendation               over               a               GMAT               score.

In               case               you               were               wondering               I               scored               a               470               and               I               really               am               proud               of               it.

This               test               is               amazingly               complex               and               I               had               about               2               weeks               of               study               time.

My               advice               is               to               sign               up               for               the               test               and               make               a               commitment               then               work               towards               your               goal,               which               is               the               date               of               the               test.

Basically               in               the               words               of               a               super               catchy               Nike               phrase:               Just               Do               It.
