LOL. My sister does marketing for a place in Vancouver called Cristal Cliniq. Family discount of 30% off. So in my head, that's the best place – cheap.

Haha…I've only been to SF and Seattle. The west coast doesn't seem to be that bad. I've been to DC before but I don't think I've been to the Chinatown there. There are just too many choices to choose from. But you're right, I should focus on one thing at a time. GMAT first and everything else will fall in place. Good advice Darrick.

Georgetown or GWU would be good choices. You would like the city, not the Chinatown, but everythign else in the nations capital… plus i could show u the handful of good places to eat…
Wharton is a good school, but there's nothing else out there. and of course cali schools are good too, but then, you'd be on the wrong coast… :-p you'd be on the left coast, cuz we kno the right coast is the east coast which is the best coast. :-p
Arizona is nice too, dry heat, no humidity…

But one focus at a time. Ace your GMATS and you can go where ever you want.
I looked at going for a Masters in Linguistics, but then I got a new job so now I'm working on some IT certs… for the challenge and fun of learning and to add useless letters to my business card :-p I'll get the masters when things slow down…

I'm looking into DC because of all the non-profits that are located there. I'll look into Emory as well. There are so many options, I don't even know where to begin.

According to a Matador article, grad school is still free in Sweden. But the living standard there is so high. I might end up paying the same amount if I had went to grad school in the US.

Where is the best place to get Botox?

Well I don't know about the schools specifically but DC is a great place to go to school. Lots of young people and stuff is always going on.

I also know that my alma mater Emory also has a really good business school.

When I was considering re-schooling, doing it abroad became an option. I've heard Sweden *use* to offer free schooling to foreigners, could still be the case for MBA's? I agree with Elke on this. Otherwise, I have no advice to offer except best places to get botox (at my age) and how to avoid injuring yourself yet again.

Thanks Erica! If I get accepted into Berkeley you can come visit me in SF!

UC Berkeley sounds like a great first choice. I haven't visited SF myself (yet!) but I can imagine that it would be awesome to live there. As for your 2nd and 3rd choices, not easy to say as I have no first-hand experience of any of these schools. Hope everything turns out for the best!

I have thought about getting a master's in publishing or creative writing but have not actively researched it. I would love to go to school abroad in Paris because it's a dream of mine to live there and become fluent. I have been working for the past year and a half like you and I think I need a change soon so I'm going to see how things go this year with my writing and my full-time job.
