For those of you applying to Tepper (R2 R3) I think the key is the portray yourself as a diverse candidate; one who is well rounded. If you look at Tepper's application stats on the web you will see a large percentage of the class comes from an engineering/technical background. This is a group that has, for the most part, fairly decent GMAT scores (700+), decent GPA's, and tends to be very homogenous. Essay C3 is a great way to show how you stand out and is the place to highlight your well-roundedness/extra curriculars that will set you apart from your fellow applicants. Just my two cents-

I think gaga is comparing a) throw down the inve$tment and get a career boost/jump-start from the MBA (s/he says 5 yrs but I'm not sure where that number comes from), or b) no MBA, just proceed in current job/promotion(s) for 2 yrs as usual. I think we're all experiencing this predicament given the current economy and astronomical education costs in the US.

i see... provided one can get promotion in 2 years as well. I know here it is very saturated and there's not much advancement at all with managers taking lead on multiple projects. with current economy people are probably lucky to get jobs and asking for 2 year promotion is probably a bit much in some situations. I am actually not worried about $$$ till i figure out where i get in but I know for sure i will have to foot the bill since I (like many others here) am going FT for the best experience.

What I am saying is that if we stay in our current jobs then after 5 years we'll get to the level that we would get with an MBA (that is 2 years). So career boost = 3 years. But I have seen my friends going back to their pre-MBA employers, but now with $100K in debt. As far as growth oportunities in US are concerned, I agree with or without the sluggish economy it's saturated. My friend from a top business school, now working at a top CPG, is in the same job for last 5 years...no promotion! All this makes me think...should I even go for an MBA!! $120K is a lot of money and during MBA, being an international, I would have to go through the agony of looking at job postings of cool companies with a footnote: For US citizens and permanent residents only.

gaga, i see your point and i partially agree.
I agree that if we are looking 5 years forward we will get a promotion via job hopping or normal progression (or else we really suck :p) - but will it be the same level that an MBA would get us though? Especially for industry/career changers I don't think they will have an easier time getting into that industry via normal progression vs MBA. Certainly if you are only trying to climb the corporate ladder or within very similar field then the 5 years makes more sense though.

With regarding to you friend, is he a career switcher or he was working the same field prior to MBA? Although no promotion is his salary progression good? Those things you gotta take in consideration too.

Gaga I think there maybe an issue for Non-US citizen/perm residents because once you do find a job I believe you will not be able to job hop as easily becuase of visa restrictions etc. But that being said, I think if you goal is to make it past manager level in a company MBA is almost required. A big factor on salary jumps though is related to your last salary drawn before entering business school.

in some situations yes but i think some post mba jobs probably have a "defualt salary" especially for career switchers.

Yeah I can see a default salary for career switchers but its hard to justify 120k/yr for someone who's last salary drawn was $60k. So I think besides career switchers your last salary drawn will play a strong role esp when it comes to negotiating your compensation in this economic climate.
