Hi All

I am ganesh from India

I have 3 yrs exp
GMAT 640( q 44 , v 35 )
Undergraduate Education - Engineering in Biotechnology
CGPA - 2.4 or 62 %

post mba plan : to be in consulting or finance

since it is late to apply for Fall i am looking to apply for Jan Intake. I want to asap dont have patience to post pone to next year or couple more years

Target country: Singapore, Canada, Australia, NZ, Europe

I am avoiding US because of Budget constraints

I do like to work abroad for some years which will give me international experience and help with to repay loan faster

After doing some search i am able to find some collges with jan intake

Singapore Management university

Sp Jain Global MBA - Singapore

RSM - Holland

ESMT Germany

EDHEC - France

what are other colleges with jan intake which i can apply is my profile good enough to apply for these colleges

I am bit skeptical about UK Since i see many Indian students form UK Because of Visa constraints to work in UK

Thanks a lot in advance

PS : Please let me know if i need to provide any additional details

Not to be harsh, but these programs are currently out of your reach. Just to put them in perspective, the average student at RSM has a GMAT score of around 660 and work experience of 5.5 years.

ESMT students have about six years of work experience as well.

Your profile most closely matches SP Jain's current cohort, but you're still under the averages on both GMAT and work experience and you face quite stiff competition from other people with similar profiles.

So you essentially have three options to boost your profile's competitiveness:
1. Widen your search to start later in the year. You'd have far more options.
2. Wait at least a year and a half to get that much more work experience.
3. Re-take the GMAT and score 700+

Thank you erza

This is my second attempt first attempt i got only 560 did badly in verbal. Now don't have much energy or interest to retake again.

I am giving SP jain admission test,I did clear their test on first attempt but will be giving again

I want to do MBA now don't have patience to wait.

I have worked for 3 companies in 3 years and not worked for
top companies .. i think that would affect my profile my experience has been in Database and Digital marketing and post career interest are in Consulting or finance so if work for one more year i can work in Database or digital marketing will it useful for my profile

if not those mentioned above which other colleges i can look for?
Is Simon fraser MBA good they are still accepting applications for thier fall intake

Thanks a ton in advance

Kind Regards

Ganesh

Hi

few qestions to add

should i be looking for MS programs

or as i am looking for career change should i prefer 2 year MBA program but it will be costly

how about these colleges

Thunderbird school of management

Otego MBA NZ

Queens MBA - Canada

How important is work experience?

Should the pre -experience be relevant with post MBA goals?

Thanks a ton
