i am in the samp place as you are the only difference is that i am already enrolled in the program and the tution is killing me and i want out asap. Please Please Please dont go to grad school just because your parents want you to. My parents gave me an ultimatum and started comparing me to other collegues friends who have already gotten their masters so I developed a tunnel vision. I was determined to do masters at any co$t. I am a good student too with so much experience but MBA schools usually DO NOT have any aid, esp for international student. so go if you can absolutely want it and you are finincially stable. make sure you negotiate with the program director about the aid and get in only if they give you something. They sometimes say that there might be something available in the secomd semester but dont buy into that. Talk to other international students before. most importantly have a backup plan if you want to drop out in the last minute. dont put all the eggs in one basket. good luck
