Decision time: BABA/Leadership vs BLS/Management

[Kjnova]

Quick update on my progress, for anybody now or in the future tracking or on a similar path.

I received my last draft feedback today, a 3.8 on BUS 321. The feedback suggested adding additional examples. I added more examples and uploaded it as the final about an hour ago. I am finished with all academic work on my BABA/Management & Leadership and History minor. Now I wait for things to become official.

Unofficially, counting this last draft grade, I should have As and A+s on everything with one exception that should be an A-. Of course, this isn't in the books yet, but that is how it appears from FA grades. If true, that would project out to a 3.978 GPA, which of course is summa. I only plan to list summa on resume and LinkedIn, not precise GPA. I took 11 Business classes, 1 Math class, and 2 History classes, 14 classes in all, during Summer II at UMPI.

I have applied to the Illinois (UIUC) iMSM program and am also looking into the Georgia Tech Master of Science in Analytics program.

I am extremely happy I found info on UMPI, which if I recall correctly was via this board, so thanks to everybody who played a role in both the program and in the information about the program being where I could find it. I am also glad I took a chance and did BABA instead of what I thought might be a faster path but not as relevant for my career. I was worried about time, but I had plenty of time. I had very little to do last week and now I am done with nearly three weeks remaining. Also thanks for all advice, suggestions and encouragement along the way.

Given this thread's title and original questions vs where I am now, this will be my last or maybe next to last update here (I might update again when it becomes official), while putting my continuing thoughts elsewhere as appropriate, but I am happy to answer any questions here, via PM, or in other threads. I hope my story encourages somebody else. Thanks again!
