well i got high enough to be above the median for any b-school out there.
right now i'm thinking that i would like to go out and get some work experience as soon as i can, starting next summer. i'm just looking ahead and what other opportunities might be out there.
i'm really not as interested in an mba as getting a master's in comp-fin or logistics or something more distinctly quantitative, but i guess you never know where life takes you.
do you really think it would be better career-wise to get an mba rather than a master's in logistics or computational finance? you guys probably know this stuff better than i do, but it just seems like it would be better for lifetime earning $$$ to have a more specialized degree.

Well the average at Stanford is a 728. A 730 GMAT is 96th percentile. About 250,000 take the test each year. So 10,000 score above a 730, but there are only 4,400 spots in elite b-schools. It takes a lot more than a test score.
I may be way off, but I think most motivated, successful people covet a managerial role at some point in their career. That move will be much easier with an MBA. The quant guy usually remains the quant guy. Granted, that is sometimes by choice. All that said, if you need to make this call at the age of 22, I'd definitely favor the broad degree over the niche degree.
