Is an Internship necessary for an Indian candidate doing MBA in the US and not changing the industry, asking for 1 year MBA program.

Hi what is the prospect for a doctor with superspeciality degree wanting to get into a mba program
Show more

I work with about 3 doctors every year (have been at ARINGO for 7 years now, so that is around 20- doctors) your chances are high (as your profile is unique) IFFFFF 1. you score well on the GMAT 2. have some business experience 3. "connect the dots" => write applications that explain what you need an MBA (for example, cause you want to work in healthcare, or in a pharma company)

Sounds like you have a great profile. It’s not clear to me if you are looking for a full time 1Y program or a part time EMBA program?
If you are looking for a full time program, then Wharton does not have a shorter MBA program, so let’s take that one off the table. MIT does (MIT Sloan Fellows) but you will need 10+ years of experience BEFORE you apply.
Your chances are good, but I need to know more about you (gender, origin, current geography you live in, career progression at Oracle, GPA, extracurricular activities, managerial activities, working with international teams experience and more?)

For a deeper profile analysis:
Please send me your CV, GMAT score and slipt, the school wish list and any additional information to ShimriW@ARINGO.com and we can take it from there

If you can score a high GMAT score, that will compensate for your low GPA. if you can explain gaps in your work experience, that is ok, but if you have 2 years of a gap, that can’t be explained, that is less good..

1. GPA conversion guide: https://www.aringo.com/gpa-conversions/
2. to be honest, your GPA is LESS important. what is important is your place in the class. let me explain: 60% in engineering might be top 10% in the class, where 85% in Geography, might be top 50%...

AND. even if your GPA is low, and your place in the class is not top 15%, the GMAT has X3 more influence and weight than your GPA...

SO, in short, your profile is GREAT
Work experience, education, and extracurricular activities, all sound amazing!
your "problem" is your GMAT and prior-MBA
you come from a very competitive background, and 660 won’t be enough to get into the top schools (most of the schools you mentioned have a 700+ average GMAT score)
YES, GMAT is not all (check out my Video on how to overcome a low GMAT I gave last month) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXF6L7u ... l=GMATClub
BUT still, your chances at Stern, UCLA, UNC, Cornell, LBS are quite slim
your chances at the other schools are better and with stellar applications, you are in the game...

For a deeper profile analysis:

Hi, please evaluate my profile. I have 2 years of work experience in Investment Banking (Middle office) in one of the top investment banks globally, and have been a part of a few closed deals. I’m a chemical engineer and graduated from on of the top Indian university. I’ve published a paper in my college days. I am yet to write GMAT (will do probably by next month) but hoping to score 730+. My college CGPA is 8.6/10 and my grades in 12th and 10th are 94% and 92% respectively. I’m a trained dancer (will get my final year degree this June). Apart from this I’ve been active in sports, arts, dramatic in school and college.

Hi, it depends a bit more on where you work, what your achievements have been and 1- other parameters. most important it depends on which schools you want to target! But I would say you can target any EU school and any US 10-25 ranked school based on the basic info you gave me...
