Eligibility to pursue Masters degree
[#permalink]

I have more than 10 years of work-ex in India, in the field of Journalism and Information technology. I am currently in the US, and exploring the options of doing masters in the field of business management, with interest in a specialization such as Supply Chain Management, Marketing Research, CRM etc. rather than a general MBA. I have done B.Sc (2 years) and Post Graduate Diplome in Business Management - Marketing (2 years) from India. My B.Sc grades are not too good. My questions are:
1. Will my 2 years of B.Sc and 2 years of PGDBM suffice to meet the minimum criteria of 12+4 years education to get admissions in a good university?
2. Can a good GMAT score (which I hope to get) over-ride a not so good under-grad GPA? If yes, what should be the minimum GMAT score I must get?
3. I am also very keen to pursue career in academics. Is that something that can make me a preferred candidate for universities?
4. I am currently in US, and can fund for the program to a large extent. Does that help in getting admissions in a good university?
Thanks in advance
