FT2005 ranked Arizona #60 worldwide, above ASU, Irvine, and Thunderbird.
FT2003 ranked it #86, below ASU, Irvine, and Thunderbird.
EIU2004 placed it #86, just below Thunderbird.

how strict is arizona eller in terms of work experience..like UNC do they discourage students with less than 2 years of work ex..Also their average age seems to be on the higher side with 28..

I am glad to see more interet in Arizona/Eller.
As I recall, they seek at least two years in a "professional capacity." They repeatedly stress that they are looking for candidates with "Professional experience demonstrating challenging assignments, career progression, carefully considered goals, and a strong work ethic."
Further, note that they have Business Field Project as part of the core in which students work together on a consulting project. This is often not a good sign for high potential/low experience students since schools might doubt the ability of HP/LE students carry their share of the weight in this type of setting.
"B AD 597a: Business Field Projects (3 units)
Small teams of students work together to finalize scope, plan, and execute a project for an organization to deliver value to them. Teams work in consultation with a faculty member who is a relevant subject matter expert."
Of course, the best course of action is to contact Eller directly.

The only issue I see is the undergraduate performance, otherwise you seem like a strong candidate for Eller. Which programs do you apply to at IUB, BYU, and TAMU?

I m applyin to same program at all Univs ....MS in MIS .
IS there any chance they might make note of the fact dat i gv GMAt jus so dat i cld get into MS MIS. coz atleast 90% pepl i know are applyin to the same program but with GRE scores.(Though the univ website mentions dat they prefer GMAt over GRE). Others i know are applyin with GRE because they are applyin to MS in CS at other Univs. While my motive to take GMAT was because i was applyin to only MS MIS program. IS my GMAT score good enough to cover up for my mediocre acads ???
Also , i m not sure but most pepl who gv GMAt wld like to go for MBA, so i guess there wont be many competing for the Univs with their GMAT scores.....Is this true ??
Accordin me Eller is the place to go 4 MIS.....but hw wld u rank these Univs.....
---Univ of Arizona (Eller)
--- IUB (Kelley)
---TAMU(Mays)
---BYU(Marriot)...not yet applied
---Iowa state Univ...not yet applied
---Oklahoma state univ (Spear)...got admit
---Univ of Cincinnati...got admit
PLZ suggest any other Univs for my profile??
ALso since i hv not applied to BYU and IOWA state, while applyin to them shld i mention me GRE score (1340).?? or u think it might not create a good impression ??
Also shld i retake GMAT in JAn ...try to break 7XX barrier..will it make a big diff?
Thanx for prompts replies.....They are really encouraging

hi HJORT,
i got admit from Eller for MS-MIS. However, now i hv a good head-ache. I hv got 6 admits till now......
1. Univ of Arizona (Eller)...admit
2. IUB (Kelley)....admit with 9500$ aid
3. CMU......admit
4. TAMU (Mays)....admit
5. Univ of Cincinnati...admit with 6000$ aid
6. OSU (Spears)
Well , out of these i hv shortlisted Eller , CMU, Kelley.....i hv to decide between these 3.
Eller.....Ranked 1 for MIS...but i feel the corse is a bit too techy....i wanted more balance between business and techno courses. However, good placements but again more techy jobs like System Analyst.
I want to enter something like Management Consulting or Strategic Management.
CMU.....best placements but really expensive .....17500$ per sem.
i really wanna go here but the cost is scaring me.
Kelley.....Good course but dont know much abt their placements or job profiles of their MS-IS graduates.
Plz help me out Hjort......help me decide. Do Give ur opinion.
