Re: best schools with no job experience?? [#permalink]
If your scores and GPA really are as strong as you say, then job experience might not be your biggest worry. Try to get an in-person interview if you can; my son was in a similar situation, got an interview with Babson College, and was accepted. Its a business school in the Boston area with a great reputation.

What the previous poster said is pretty much spot-on.

But just to add...Have you taken the time to look at each university's online class profile? Usually, it gives some insight as to the value each respective school places on prior work experience (i.e. obviously you would stand a greater chance at a university whose incoming class is comprised of 50% with zero work experience than one with <10% zero work experience).

I 'll have 15 months experience by September 2013 and i want to pursue my MBA from september 2013 itself..Which schools should i apply to so that i have a realistic chance to get selected?
Also if i apply in November or December this year and say that i'll have 15 months experience by September 2013 then will they accept it?

ragha,

You never mentioned what your GPA, GMAT, and undergrad major were? What is your work experience in? Also, where do you plan to find a job after you complete your MBA? Also, do you plan to enroll in a full-time, part-time or executive MBA program?

Knowing some background info will be relevant to your admissions probability.

ragha,

Your GMAT score seems pretty strong as is. You should retake it if you think you could improve your score substantially. What does 65% translate to on a 4.0 scale?

I'm assuming that you're an international student? If so, you may consider looking at schools that admit a large number of international students...such as the following:

https://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandr ... s-rankings

Also, you should state the number of years (or months) of experience at the time of your application to a program. (Most universities care about the work experience already acquired...not anticipated at the time of application).

I would suggest you to have few years of experience but my school does take applicants with very less work experience but all the others should be very very good.... please go thru the thread...you will land up with a good work experience during your mba and eventually with a good job post mba..... please search in the forum for Luxembourg - Sacred Heart University.

Yale SOM has a Silver Scholars program where you start the MBA directly after undergrad (aka without work experience).
