How hard is admission to Baruch College, MS Quantitative Modeling?

Question

Hi All,
I have just moved to US and trying to get admission in CUNY, Zicklin Business School, Baruch College MS Quantitative Modeling? I have about 12 Yrs of experience in Supply Chain and an MBA and MS in Computer Science. My CGPA in Bachelors was 3.00 and MCS was 3.68. 
How hard is it to get admission in this program. I will highly appreciate any suggestions and help as I need to restart my career after moving to US.

Regards,

Baruch is a competitive school. Quantnet always has them ranked pretty high. I don't think your GPA should matter much since you have so much work experience. As long as you did well in the prerequisite classes and do well with the GMAT (if they require it) most of your profile will focus on your work experience, recommendations, etc.

Hi MSFHQ,
I am thankful for your response. I have a couple of questions and I will be thankful for your help.

What do you mean prerequisite classes... is it like they will give a conditional admission dependent on attendance and results of those classes or will they want me to attend those classes and then comeback and apply?

Please also advise if I should take advice from Admission advisors/consultants for this?

Hey linux9982 , I would say that Baruch college is among the competitive schools in the USA. Since you already have multiple Masters and about 12 yrs of work ex, we ould suggest you mail the school and confirm the eligibility once. Though I would suggest you look for an executive MBA as an alternative. But to tell you exactly about your chances I will be needing more information such as the company you were working in, your roles and responsibilities over there, extracurricular activities, NGO experience, certifications, as schools these days are on the hunt for holistically developed profiles. Also, the school offers some wavier in credit(i.e. coursework), so, if you have prior experience in calculus and statistics you can let me know about the same. It would be great if you can mail me all this information on support@mim-essay.com. I will go through the same and, would be able to give you more accurate information as well as the list of other schools that you can target as per your profile. Let me know if you have any other questions:)
