There are very less assistantship program, and I saw that they are usually given to domestic student as it is state school. There are some restriction where you can work and cannot work wihtin campus too.

 I was kind of dissatisfied by this fact too. Because state has been contineously ctting the educational funds.. and there this school is popular among the students in bay area, I guess they have no probelm in selling themselves.

About GMAT  average score  is 550, but I have seen people wiht 530 getting admission. They told us in orientation session that they are planning to increase this score very soon. To be qualified you have to have 4 years bachelors and min GPA 3..or more.

Majority of the students are international, esp from China, Japan and India.I am enjoying here, but sometimes wish there would be Nepali frens to talk to  !
