Hello  shubhamsahai

Till when UCD accepts application for Sept intake? Do they waiver the IELTS/TOEFL part if we show any proof of our graduation done in english medium?

Regards,
Ayush

shubhamsahai · Answer

gmatayush  IELTS/TOEFL will be required by the university even if you have your education in English. Also, the score is required when you apply for visa too. I am not sure about the deadline as it changes every year, but I guess for last round it wont be before April/May but do check with admissions office.

gmatayush · Answer

Sure, I'll check. Thanks for the info.

Hello  shubhamsahai ,

I am applying for 2019 intake. My experience is in IT( 8 years) and mainly technical. I want to move to digital or management consulting post MBA.

How's the outlook of program for moving to Consulting and in terms of settling down in Ireland post MBA.

Narenn · Answer

Congrats on admit with scholarship! I see you have a fabulous GMAT score. Which factors apart from the high GMAT score you think played key role in your success? I would also appreciate if you could share your professional background with us.

shubhamsahai · Answer

Narenn  Great job creating Forums for discussion. I have a background in IT digital transformation for Banks. Worked for about 5.5 years. 
For the admissions and essays, it was more about the clarity of goals(because it's a 1 year programme so you need to go in with a plan) and how the school can help in achieving that. 
Hope that helps.

Regards,
Shubh
