Even if you need to stay in one city for work, there may be many schools that offer part-time MBA programs in your area. An MBA from a prestigious school may give you more opportunities, but you should carefully consider factors such as cost, distance, and time to complete the program.  Go online to the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). They maintain a list of accredited MBA programs. This list includes schools that offer part-time MBA programs and lists schools that offer part-time online programs. Reach out to the schools you’re interested in. Most schools have welcoming admissions departments that provide information sessions and one-on-one tours. Tell them you’re interested in part-time MBA programs and ask whether classes in the part-time program are scheduled in the evenings or on weekends, or both.  Talk to other students and alumni from the part-time MBA programs you’re interested in. Oftentimes, students and alumni will give you the most unbiased information about the school. This is a good opportunity to ask about how much time students spend in class and studying and what opportunities opened up for alumni after they received their MBA. Many business schools have both in-person programs and online programs. Research both types of programs and decide which one will work best for you.  Part-time online MBA programs are usually a bit cheaper and offer more flexibility. You’ll be able to watch recorded lectures from home on your own schedule instead of having to show up to class at a specific time. However, since you’ll rarely be on campus you may miss out on some of the resources the business school has to offer. Part-time in-person MBA programs require you to attend classes on a regular schedule. The classes are held in the evenings and/or on weekends to accommodate working students. Since you’ll be on campus often, you’ll have the opportunity to network with your professors and other students. However, taking the traditional path means you’ll have to spend more time away from home. Fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and look for other financial aid. The FAFSA is required if you want to get loans from the federal government to cover your tuition. It’s always a good idea to fill it out even if you think you won’t need it. If other funding sources fall through you may end up needing federal loans after all.  Your employer may be willing to reimburse you for tuition. This should be the first place you look for financial aid.  Every business school has resources that will help you identify funding sources. Check with each school where you plan to apply. Go online to http://www.gograd.org/financial-aid/scholarships/mba/ to find a list of scholarships available for MBA students. The GMAT is required to for admission to most MBA programs. It tests your analytical, writing, quantitative, verbal, and reading skill.  Consider studying for the test on your own. There are dozens of self-guided GMAT prep programs available. These programs consist of a series of books or online study guides that help you master the topics that will be on the GMAT. If you’re good at studying and learning on your own, this is your best option. Consider enrolling in a GMAT course. GMAT courses are taught by business schools professors and other professionals. They give you a more in-depth and intensive prep experience. If you learn better in a classroom atmosphere and cost is not an issue, this is your best option. Whichever study option you choose, you should set aside at least one month to study for the exam. If you can only devote a few hours to studying each week, you should spend more than a month studying for the test. Use your evenings and weekends to study for the test. This will be good practice for the study schedule you'll use as a part-time MBA student.  Register for the GMAT online at www.mba.com and pay the $250 registration fee. The test is offered in hundreds of cities around the world. Don’t forget to request the day of the test off from work. Since you’ve already talked to your boss about getting an MBA this shouldn’t be a tough sell. Most schools will ask for your GMAT score, college transcripts, work experience, a cover letter or essay, and recommendation letters.  Most schools charge an application fee. Fees range from $10 to $250 depending on the school.  If you can, get letters of recommendation from people who are affiliated with the school in some way. For example, if your boss is an alumni you should get a letter of recommendation from them.

These are the tubes that connect the faucet to the water supply. Use the adjustable wrench to loosen the nuts where the hoses attach to the water supply. Use the basin wrench to loosen the nut attaching the hoses to the faucet. Turn the nuts to the left (counterclockwise) to loosen them.  Once you’ve loosened the nuts with the wrenches, you can remove them the rest of the way by hand. Wipe up any water that drips onto the bottom of the vanity immediately to prevent damage or warping. Most faucets are attached to the sink by locknuts attached to the tailpieces under the sink. Use your hands or an adjustable wrench to loosen the nuts and unthread them from the tailpieces. Turn them to the left (counterclockwise) to loosen them. Remove the nuts and the washers from the tailpieces.  Once you’ve removed the supply lines, nuts, and washers, the faucet will be loose. Hold the faucet in both hands and pull it straight out from the mounting holes. Remove the gasket if there is one and set it aside with the faucet. Use the flashlight to locate the nuts under the sink if you're having trouble locating them. With a sponge or gentle abrasive pad, scrub the mounting holes around the sink where the faucet sits. Use soap and water or your favorite cleaner or detergent. Once the area is clean, rinse it well, pat it dry, and let it air dry completely. To remove old sealant or silicone, dampen a sponge or rag with mineral spirits and wipe the area clean. Then rinse the area with clean water and pat it dry. Once you’ve removed the old faucet from the mounting holes, you can figure out what hole configuration you're working with and the type of faucet you need. There are three major types of faucets:  Single hole, where the sink will only have one hole for the faucet, and the faucet will all be one simple piece with a single handle. Center-set, where there will be three holes in the sink and the one-piece faucet will have separate handles controlling the hot and cold water. Widespread or split-set, which work with three-hole basins, but the spout and two handles come in three separate pieces. Before you go to the home or hardware store for a new faucet, determine the type of faucet you have, look at your basin hole configuration, and measure the distance between the holes so that you get the right replacement faucet. Write down the number of holes your basin has, the type of faucet that was on there, and the distance between the holes. If you want to replace your old faucet with a new kind, you'll have to replace the basin as well.
