Hey guys

I just wanted to ask you if anybody knows if it’s easy to get a sponsor after finish a MBA at SMU?

I was invited for an interview , but I do not know if it’s a good university to get a sponsor for work ?

Somebody international knows that ?
I’d really appreciate any comment.

Doesn’t the job matter more than the school? Look at where SMU places their graduates or where you want to work

Hello

Yes, the job is pretty important but when you are foreigner the school is one of the most important things to get a good job and a sponsor.
Talking about SMU students placements and its employment report , most of them are American. Also, they have a section about Sponsor or Work authorization and it’s only 3 people according with the report . Last report 2021 and only for MBA 2Y .

I had my 2nd and final interview with Cox. It was on zoom with a member of the career team. - Walk me through your resume. - What’s the best piece of advice you’ve received? - TMAT when things didn’t go how you wanted them to? - Why an mba? - Why Cox? - What will you do if you’re not accepted to SMU Cox? - What’s your post mba goal? - What company/title? Why? What attracts you to that company? - What’s your backup plan? What are your priorities for your job/life? - What questions do you have for me?
Even mine was the same, they also asked me which is the one city you see yourself working in?

2)Your rationale for the career choices you have taken till now
3)Post MBA goal. Which industry and role?
4)Target Companies and why those companies
5)What is your Plan B?
6)Why MBA and why Cox?
7)What will you do, if you aren’t admitted to Cox?
8)TMAT when you received a feedback hard to accept
9)What other colleges have you applied for ?
10)Do you have any questions for me?
