Hi

Any reason for not considering Durham University in your list? Since you have included Aston, Bath and Edinburgh I'd expect Durham to be there as well since Durham ranks higher than these.
If you have any definite reasons can you please share them with us?

Thanks
Anirban

I think you can succeed.......What matters is managerial exp....If that is available then rest is with your impressive CV and SOP.Other than that nothing else..........Since you have a good GMAT and 6+ exp,I think you could succeed.Since you are not trying for Cam,Ox,LBS etc.........I think there is no big difficulty.Your exp will negotiate for your weaker areas..All the best.

Thanks Susee for your kind and fast response.

Actually, i had applied to Oxford & Imperial and got rejected there while application screening. So i am little worried. i believe, i should have to modify my resume, before applying to these schools.

Apart from these, I am already admitted to WHU, Germany for full time MBA. But confused, whether i should go Germany or U.K?

Every one in this world has failures...We are not born with silver spoon to think about Harvard directly.........Try for 10.... you could succeed 1 or 2...But that is the bitter truth...Do ask your admission staff for reasons to reject.Learn from your past mistakes....Correct it..

After trying 12 univ in UK I succeed in mere 4 univ.....But those were FT ranked institute.

WHU is a very well reputed institute in Germany. I have student contacts in there and post MBA they are doing pretty well. If you are thinking of job prospects Germany is a lot better (at this point) than UK.
I chose UK over Germany because I don't like living in a country where I can't read the bill boards...lol....you need to learn German buddy!

Thanks

What about Cass, if you're concerned that you don't come from typical business background, that won't be a problem at Cass as your background is only one factor that makes up your total application.
