Ranked 61 from the previous rankings of 101....Yea I would think that is pretty good. Im just an outsider because I received my BS at another school. I didnt know LSU alums were so much at odds with each other I probably would have gone to UNC.

Plus I had not heard anything bad about the Alumni on the MBA level, but one of the reasons I did choose LSU for my MBA is because I also wanted to be an official TIGER, and rankings usually indicate that MBA alumni are in high places which these current rankings place LSU 61 in the nation. Not bad in my book.
I think I was a bit overly harsh in my statement about the LSU alumni base. I believe the alumni base is very strong for some things, I just didn't notice placement into fields that I was interested in, which are the typical full-time MBA fields (consulting & finance).
The school has an incredible network in the oil and gas industry. In fact, I would put LSU up against any school for the number of engineering and geologist in energy industry. I will say that LSU can get you places, including IB or consulting, but will take a lot of ground work by you to find and reach out to alumni. I have never fully utilized the alumni database at LSU. In fact, I am not sure if I am even in the database.
There are LSU MBA alumni in high places. Actually, one of the founders of a top E&P private equity shop in Houston is an LSU MBA.

From what I've heard, it's more common to score higher on the real test than the practice tests.
I applied to LSU's MBA program but ultimately went with OU instead because of the energy industry focus. A 600 should be fine for LSU. You could even score lower if your resume and experience can pick up the slack. In short, don't stress. You're already in the ballpark.

Then I'm in a good position because I am in oil & gas industry.

You were choosing between LSU and UNC and chose LSU? Really?

This is shocking unless it was a financial decision.

Yea it is shocking but unfortunately company only paying 28k and I got a family. I have to pick up the remaining, I wanted a top 100 MBA at least and not break me. True story

Couldn't justify to myself to pay over 90k juggling a family, work, and bills.

Even in Texas my home state A&M and UT MBA is at 90k for the full two years. No brainier in my opinion and not going to put my family in the poor house to much for it. Plus I always cheered for LSU in everything because my mom went to LSU, natural fit. Dad went to Texas Tech so you can say I made both parents proud in regards to their schools.

We're you actually accepted to UNC or UT?
Posted on 6/8/13 at 5:57 pm to HurricaneDunc
Yes I was why else would I bring that up?
Posted on 6/8/13 at 5:59 pm to TIGERtexanREDraider
Why is it shocking? Do LSU alumni really dis their school this much?
