If you are looking to get an MBA, my advice would be to work for a couple of years for whoever you can get a job with. An MBA is completely worthless for someone who has just finished undergrad.
This is completely true but not what he wants to hear.

Business School degree could only help.
Or make you look like a lazy, insecure, career student who lacks the drive to succeed in the business world. It's fairly common knowledge that you should never, ever get an MBA straight out of undergrad, especially if you are already a business major. It will literally hurt your chances of employment more than it will help.

Unless of course you don't have to pay for it in the first place

Getting work experience is some of the best of advice the OT ever offers but is rarely taken.

Getting an MBA at a school like LSU doesn't really seem worth it IMO.

I went straight out of undergrad and it was not ideal. Now that Watson is out, I'm sure the program is better, but I still wouldn't suggest it for someone coming right out if undergrad.
Unless it changed, UGA requires 24 months minimum full time work experience. Also, it seems like you realize that you need a much better score for all of these schools, but I'm not sure you understand how much higher, especially if you are a white male.

As someone who got his MBA immediately after undergrad, I disagree. It wasn't completely worthless when it came time for me to find a job and has been a valuable resource for me in performing my job duties. Schools like LSU take a mix of undergrads and people in the workforce. Would work experience be a benefit prior to getting an MBA? Absolutely. But I don't think myself or most of the others that followed the same route in my class would consider their MBA worthless.

If you are looking at Finance, consider the CFP graduate program at LSU.

Change your major to engineering and call it a day.

You are naturally biased and are probably better off than not having the MBA at all. You don't have a point of reference that employers have and I would bet that you would be better for your employer having worked before the MBA.
