Hello,

This is Kushal from India.

I am interested in applying to Boston University for Masters in Business Administration. But before I proceed, I have a few queries.

About Me: I have completed my 15 years of Education with my undergraduate degree being Bachelors of science with majors in Computer Science. My average percentage in my last 2 years has been 62.86%. I have a work experience of 15 months and I currently work as Project Coordinator for a UK based Publishing firm.
I haven't taken GMAT or TOEFL yet. But I do plan to take them in some time.

Question: Does BU MBA offer specialization in operations? What is the key criteria for admission? If one does not meet the criteria of 16 years of full time education. What would you suggest to meet eligibility requirements?

I look forward to hear from you.

Thanks & Regards,

Kushal Bhardwaj

Hi Kushal,

Thanks for your interest in the Boston University School of Management. Operations and Technology Management is one of the many concentrations that we have available at the School of Management. Sample elective courses in this concentration include:

Managing and Improving Quality: Six Sigma Green Belt Certification
Clean Technologies and Supply Chains
Supply Chain Management
Project Management
Product Design and Development

We do accept Indian applicants with 15 years of education, however it is important to note than many successful Indian candidates have 16 years of education, or a CA, or a post graduate diploma.

The system won't currently allow me to post links, however I'd encourage you to review the profile of the class that began in August 2011. Here are a few highlights:

Average Middle 80 percent
GMAT 683 620 - 740
Work Exp 4.9 years 2.5 years to 7.5 years
GPA 3.3 2.9 to 3.8
Age 28 25 to 31

Please let me know if you have other questions.

All the best,
Chris

Hi Chris,

I am an R3 applicant to 2 year MBA program and was wondering if the admissions committee is still sending out invitations for interview? Thank you so much for answering my question.

Best regards,
Eason

Hi Eason,

We have issued the majority of interview invitations for R3 applicants, however there are certainly occasions when the admission committee will invite additional candidates to interview once our deliberations begin. We'll begin those meetings next week, but you will certainly receive a decision from us by April 13th if your application is considered complete.

Let us know if you have other questions.

Best,
Chris
