Hi Guys,

I want to apply to MBS in the R6, so can anyone shed some light on the chances of getting an admit in R6 or is it too late to apply now.
Further if you can provide any tips and suggestion with respect to the essay questions and presentation.

My profile details are mentioned below :-
GMAT :- 660
WE :- 67 months
Profile : Project Management in Siemens Limited

Hi thaks25 !

I do not believe it is too late to apply . It is true that MBS has received a lot of applications but that does not mean that getting an admit in R6 would not be possible.

Regarding tips and suggestions, I have already shared my suggestions in a previous reply on this thread .

All the best,

Congratulations on your admit! Yes there is an informal whatsapp group. Please send a PM to JimPayments who is managing the group.

On the other hand, MBS has an official FB group in which you will be added when accepting your place.

Looking forward to meet you!

hey akanksha1411, the interview was held as anticipated on this forum, same questions. I also agree with everyone here about Heather (she is the one conducting most online interviews), she is really friendly and her english is crystal clear.

Best of lucks!

Hi Everyone,

I have my interview scheduled on 10th May with Heather Spiro.

Any tips or suggestion anyone can provide?

A couple of people have posted the details of their interviews with Dr Spiro. Below is my post from a few pages ago -

I had my interview on the 18th Dec and I was interviewed by Dr Heather Spiro. Noting below questions -

Why MBA? Why now?
Why AMBS?
2 reasons people like to work in a team with you.
2 reasons people wouldn't like to work in a team with you.
1 major accomplishment in your professional career.
How will you add value to your cohort?
Post MBA Plans? How do you plan to achieve them?
If you don't achieve your plan, what is plan B?
What are the limitations you think you will face if you are accepted into the program?
How will you overcome these limitations?
She asked me a couple of questions on the presentation i had submitted
Lastly she asked if i had any questions for her. She mentioned that the school will be shut for the Holidays and i can expect a response from them sometime in Jan.

The interview lasted about 40 minutes. Hope this helps.

Hi thaks25,

They said that they'll notify about the scholarship next week. Guess they are sending the same thing to everyone..

hey guys,

I got my offer letter today but with no scholarship. I will be funding my degree by taking a bank loan. Any idea which bank might be able to help with 100% funding. I am from India and living in the USA. How are you guys planning to fund your degree?

Thanks

Hi Ritu,

You can go for prodigy finance but they provide 80% of the total expense.
Further the process is hassle free as per the research I have done.
