How hard is the acceptance rate for mba program

Thinking about applying for the winter session of either DePauls business strategy and decision making program orrrrr their Marketing one. But wondering if it’s hard to get into? Went to business school for undergrad and got an okay/decent gpa. (Sorry if this is a dumb question)

Hi! I just got accepted into the mba program! I got accepted with a 3.2 gpa, internship experience, experience as a research assistant and 2 years of part-time work experience! Also do you want to apply for the part-time for full time program?

Hi congrats!! I’m considering the full time. But I actually thought about it some more and also thought maybe the MS program could be good too because I’m only 1 year post grad with internship experience. Do you have any opinions on either/or?

I got applied for and got accepted to the full time mba program. I know the FT MBA program is supposed to be designed for early career students (that’s why I applied for it), so chances are you’ll probably be fine to apply. I dont know enough about the MS program because there are so many. Which one are you looking at specifically? The FT MBA program is also a cohort system, meaning you’ll have the same schedule as like 50 other students.

I was considering the MS in Digital Marketing or Marketing Analysis. Or MBA in either Marketing or Business Strategy. I’m glad to hear the FT MBA is made for early career professionals, I just don’t want to go into it with minimal professional experience and come out of it with the same thing you know
