Cranfield 2012 Add Your Name to the List https://gmatclub.com/forum/download/file2.php?id=15317 Cranfield Applicant Summary (Real Time) Quick Glance: GMAT Club vs. Latest Intake (Class of 2013) Detailed Applicant List: Add Yourself to This List (add Cranfield to your profile) GMAT Club's Real-time Admissions Statistics Add Your Profile to This List Questions about this Roll Call ? As bb asked me to create this thread so nicely when I asked for Cranfield to be added to the list of schools here's a thread for those of you thinking of following in my footsteps in 2012/2013. I would have added last year's stats to this post but at the moment it just lists me!

Cranfield operate rolling admissions so they are still listing 2011 entry on their site ATM. Based on my experience this year they probably won't start interviewing for the full-time MBA until January after the intake for the executive MBA have started but applications can be made any time from September on. Good luck. mbaschoolprofile_topmba_com-uploads-gallery-6-cranfieldentrance_jpg.jpg

I applied last year so won't appear in the list above. I'm currently sat in Cranfield wondering if I should read my ops and supply chain case study before going to bed :-)

SeniorFlunky and others

any clue on the range of gmat score at cranfield ? i heard cranfield accepts students with lesser gmat ( even 500 ) provided he/she has considerable work experience ?

Any clues ?

SeniorFlunky · Answer

Honestly, I don't know their exact policy and I don't know any more than you with respect to the range of GMAT scores in the current cohort.

I do know that a surprising number of my colleagues on the course don't actually have a GMAT score at all, having opted instead to take the Cranfield admissions test. In at least one case I now this was because he was worried about his eventual performance if he took the GMAT.

Overall I would assume it would be similar to most other locations, if you have a compelling case elsewhere they can overlook a weakness in the GMAT score, but generally you want to be aiming for the school's target range ( 600+ ).

SeniorFlunky,

Thanks your insight, I am yet to take my gmat and i am sure that i will be able to score between 600-650.

I have an experience of ten years , and i heard that the placements of cranfield are better since the batch is more matured in work ex, so i think within my score this should be a good school with better chances of placements

your comment ?

SeniorFlunky · Answer

Absolutely, I had just under 13 years post undergraduate experience at the start of the course and I would say about 1/4 of the cohort are older than me. Age really does not seem to count against you one bit.

I did get asked at my interview why I wasn't going for the Exec-MBA but as long as you can explain your reasoning it is fine. In my case it was because I had a strong technical background but in terms of team leading/management experience I was probably 4 or 5 years behind some others my age so I didn't feel the exec was appropriate.

I have been admitted in the first round and now need to decide where to actually go (I have also been admitted by Manchester Business School). Yeah, and there is also possibility that I will be admitted by LBS and Oxford. So, many opportunities and hard time for me to choose the most appropriate.

SeniorFlunky · Answer

Nice problem to have

Good luck with your other applications.
