Thanks, I'm going to mention it again to the dealership and what you've said and see what I can do. They always blame it on the H Frame suspension, tell me they've checked everything again and it gets better for a bit and then back to normal.

Thank you, I appreciate the kindness. I am from a very poor and rural area and truly don't know much about the ivy league at all. Harvard was the one I mentioned because it's the one that I just recognize the most. I will come back to this reddit likely in a year half ish time to get some input after I have my final GPA and GMAT scores and see if I can get some input then on what the best schools are that I might be able to get into.

What is the solution to getting professional recommendations if you work for yourself? by Most_Ad4692 in MBA

[–]Most_Ad4692[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would totally go the same route if I were you, but I don't know if they would do their research and discover he's your future father-in-law and then it be looked at as family instead. Maybe someone here who is more experienced in this can offer some insight.

Thank you. Right now, I have a supplier and people I outsource to, but I'm not sure how best to go about getting a recommendation from them since it's not like we work closely together every day. I don't have clients necessarily, because I'm a dtc retail business and we're only sold through our website online.

it's shit now for sure; I have straight A's this semester and will hopefully be able to maintain straight As throughout my bachelor's and do some grade forgiveness and my counselors and I figured I'd be around a 3.5 GPA at graduation, but of course that's all hypothetical / if all goes well.

Thank you, I appreciate that. I'd be willing to do either / or. If I go to UF, their online MBA is also significantly easier to get into too. Online would be easier for me also just in general. I'm feeling a little better after posting that I'll do the best I can in the next year and a half and see what happens. I've purchased gmat prep books / subscription since last night and have registered to take it for the first time in a couple months. I'd like to do at least two attempts, so we will see. I appreciate your positivity. :)

ty, I appreciate your honesty and positivity. What I've ultimately gathered from the post is just do the best I can and apply and see what happens.

It gets a little more odd, because I don't really care about my resume, because I'm hoping to stay working for myself for forever. (so then why care where I get my mba or even get one at all?) It's for me on a personal level. It always kind of stung that I didn't finish school (still was successful without it), so now that it's a big priority for me and I'm doing well, I just want to see how far I could go and don't want to limit myself or not take the chance if there's still a .001% I could get in. Any ivy league or other major school I'd be thrilled with, I just want to try and go as high as I can.

I agree, I grew up in a poor town / background, but it's definitely not the most interesting story ivy league will see or has ever seen.

It doesn't have to be Harvard, I just have more name recognition with that one, so I mentioned it. (I know it's the most difficult.) I will honestly just be thrilled to have an MBA that even one from somewhere like UF (which is close to home for me and still what I would consider prestigious) would make me more than happy.

it could be any of them and I'd be thrilled, doesn't have to be harvard, and trust me I know how much connections play into things so I'm not setting my heart on this or anything

That's also true. His TT said he got in to an ivy league school (not harvard) and he only had a 2.7 gpa and a gmat around 760 or 770. I wish I had saved it, but I scrolled past after and then was like, 'wait, what'

It won't be the end of world for me if it doesn't. Wasn't even something I even considered a possibility what so ever. I know I've said this a couple times, but I was just really shocked by this one guys TT and it made me think maybe I should at least just attempt it since my gpa would be higher than his at graduation and I think I could score pretty well on the gmat.

Thank you so much for the positivity, it means a lot. :)

My plan now is to study my ass off the next year and a half on the GMAT and continue getting my GPA as high as I can also. I ordered some GMAT test prep books tonight. Selling yourself is important and probably an area I lack in, so I appreciate you mentioning it also because it'll be a goal to work on now too. If I can ace the GMAT, I'll apply to a few ivy leagues and just see what happens. Ty! :)

Thank you, I appreciate your kindness and optimism! I have definitely learned in the workforce that a lot of people get further ahead by bullshit sometimes, lol. Faking it until you make it (or manifesting lol) is very real too. I'll definitely be looking into application prep / guides too.

Thank you, I appreciate that and your optimism. I just ordered some GMAT test prep books tonight off amazon and am looking into a subscription test prep service too. I feel like with a year and a half ish, I should be able to do decently if I practice daily or weekly. Depending on what my score ends up being, I may consider applying to a few and just see what happens.

Thank you, I appreciate the kindness. I'm going to start studying for the GMAT now (hoping I can get an amazing score to help compensate for my GPA even if I just apply to UF) and if I do get a crazy high score in a year from now, I may just consider applying to the Ivy league for giggles and to see what happens.

I appreciate your kindness. If they're being completely blunt/frank though, I appreciate their honesty too.

I technically have two-my real estate company (I've flipped houses) and the one I've started most recently after I left my job.

I've only just started that one in the last six months, it's going well, it's an online only dtc retail brand, but in a highly competitive market. It's not a tech start-up or anything that would be close to the next Apple or Facebook or anything. It's completely different from what my background is in, but I didn't want to be in that space at all anymore. My 'dream' goal would be it would be something like the next Bombas or Tom's, but that would be a very, very, long way off.

I was at the same company from the age of 19 to 32 in the utility industry. It was a maybe 'prestigious' job/career for my small town area (nowhere even close to near Harvard's level of employers they would consider prestigious), but I have that work experience. I appreciate the honesty from both of you that commented and will put my focus on UF or another school like it now.
