Hi all,
Please help me out here, I am a little confused.
I recently wrote my GMAT and scored a 710 and a GPA of 8.1 (on a scale of 10). I have close to 3 years of work experience in Software sales, but since I have a 3 year graduate degree, I'm still 23.
The thing is that most MiM program have an average work ex requirement of 0-2 years and Most of the MBA programs require work ex of at least 3 years. I was originally going to apply for MiM programs but my preparation stretched another year and now I face this choice.
I am aware that there are differences between the two programs, but since I do not have any significant leadership experience and the MBA programs are super-competitive - most of the candidates I've seen have around 5-6 years of work ex, something which I lack, but at the same time most of the MiM candidates have associate level experience but not more that 2 years, which I have exceeded.)
Personally, my instincts tell me to apply for an MiM program since I'm still yet to learn a lot of things and a foundational course with more younger candidates may suit me. What would you think would be the right choice here ?
My target MiM programs: HEC, ESCP, ESSEC, ESADE
My target MBA programs: WHU, UCD Smurfit, HHL, ESMT, RSM (Also thinking of applying to US MBA but considering applications being competitive, I have kept them as just an option)

Are you seeking admission this year or in 2023?
If this, you might have a chance to apply for the said MIM programs, if 2023 MBA will be a better option for you.
A few schools do provide MIM to students with more than 3 years of work experience, but I will advise you to still go for MBA.
Rest, I am tagging experts ARINGO Admissionado, so that you could gain their insights as well.
Good luck.

KeyurJoshi hi,
You are what we call a borderline candidate (= you could go either way).
You could downplay your experience, and apply ASAP for MIMs, or wait another year and hopefully, have 1-2 promotions in 3-4 years of experience and apply to MBA programs.
From what I can see, If you pass the 3Y mark before September, I think you should go for the MBAs. I looked at your list and these are definitely achievable with stellar applications!
Happy to assist with a deeper profile analysis if you wish. You can send me your CV, GMAT, School wish list and questions to shimriw@ARINGO.com
GOOD LUCK!
