What is better in the long run for grad school?

Sunday, May 29th, 2011
aayntu asked:


I’m thinking about applying to grad school and get a degree in either finance or accounting, but I may not have much money to go to grad school. Is it better to go to a better grad school and pay tuition in full with loans or go to a much less competitive one and get scholarships for attending it? The less competitive one might be easier to handle and get better grades in, but what are employers looking for?

When applying for grad school, how recent should the letters of recommendation be?

Saturday, May 21st, 2011
jakobdallasjnksdg asked:


I’m graduating this semester, but I plan on working for a year or two first before applying. Should I get the letters from my professors now? Or should I wait and ask for them later? Or by that time, should I just ask my employer? I’m afraid my employer then won’t be closely tied to my grad school area of study.
