I am new to this forum and just wanted some advice. I graduated in May 2010 from Auburn University in Industrial Engineering with a GPA of 3.11. This includes courses that I have done Grade Forgiveness on that were not even in my major (Biology classes from a previous major). My GPA without the Grade Forgiveness is a 2.99. My first two years of college I made the Dean's list both times and had a GPA of around 3.8, but then my mom passed away and I went through a rough time and didn't put much effort into school. I now work as an Industrial Engineer in manufacturing plant in Alabama. Working as an engineer I really do not gain any management experience, but rather implement projects to increase efficiency and productivity. My goal is to eventually move into operations and maybe become Director of Operations at a company. I have not studied at all for the gmat and took the gmat's practice test and scored a 710 (49Q 38V). I am thinking about doing a masters degree of operations management from Arkansas through distance learning, which I can do while I still work (company would pay for it where I work). This degree really is not prestigious at all, but I could get a high GPA in that degree. Should I just wait and study really hard for the gmat, or do this masters program and get a really high GPA? I am leaning toward schools like Emory, GT, and Florida, although I might consider a top 10 school.

Why not study hard for the GMAT and what you can score first? If you get a 700+ score, perhaps skip the Masters route and go straight for the MBA since this is what you want to do in the end anyway.
