Yes one would take many classes before graduate school. They are undergraduate classes!
Info on UB achievement? I will honestly go to Canisius over UB though if I am staying local.

Got a graduate assistant position at St. Bonaventure. Hard to pass up almost free grad school.
Definitely have much respect for their finance and accounting departments.

Been writing papers all night, brain is fried. lol Where did you take your undergrad courses?
I looked up the achievement thing and it was basically all for undergrad stuff. But I did find this for UB which is refreshing since I’d suxor so bad on a GMAT test. lol
Relative Importance of Application Elements:
```
* GMAT Score: Important
* Resume/Work Experience: Very Important
* Application Essays: Considered
* Interviews Not Considered
* Recommendations: Very Important
* Undergraduate Transcripts: Very Important
```
Not along the lines of GMAT but also not worth starting another topic for, anyone here take Six Sigma Certification and find it worth it or not? I think Green Belt training was like 3-4 months and around $2500. Thinking of maybe taking it this fall. Thoughts?

My pops is a huge fan of the six sigma training. My sister just went through Black Belt but her employer(carestream) put her through it. I know my dad went through it all on 3Ms dime. So maybe look into having your employer send you?
Undergraduate degree from SUNY Empire but my credits are from UNC Charlotte, University of Washington, and then I transferred to Empire because I was in a trap! I had over a year left in the Army but wasn’t going to be able to finish undergrad before I left and knew I couldnt transfer into UB/others with only needing a few more classes to finish. However I could get around that if I did Empire since I could switch to them online for one semester then two at their school and meet their min with them to give me a degree. Basically if I went to UB or anywhere else local I would have graduated a year later. I was bummed at first but LOVED Empire.
I am not a great test taker but my work experience,letters of recommendation, and GPA are all fannnnnntastic.
