And it is true, no one really cares what your GPA was.

The only thing she noted is that if you are applying for a job to a place that has a strong alumni from one school, then the school can give you a leg up on your competition. For example, there is a strong Florida State bias among the capital management group at the bank. Applying for a job in that group with a FSU MBA would give you an advantage obviously.

UNCC's MBA has a good reputation. Also, you probably are aware that Wake Forest has an MBA program that has evening classes in Charlotte. That would be awesome on your resume'.

Just another 2 cents for you to consider. Good luck in your continued search.
