Everything you would like to know about top MBA Admissions.

As a fresher, I’d highly recommend MiM. MBA programs require at least 2 years experience at time of application, but typically look for at least 3 years (which means 4 years at the start of the program).

If you attend a MiM, you could still apply for an MBA with 4+ years of experience. Some even have a pathway to a 1 year MBA if you graduated from their MiM program.

Can you please recommend some good colleges that provide MIM. Preferably colleges in London or Europe as I have only 3 year to bachelor study.

Of bachelor study*

Hi Nishitareddy20, Applying with a GRE is very smart of Canadian schools. Rotman have an average GRE around 315 - so 321 is well above and can make you quite competitive. Same will apply to other Canadian programs

I gave experts global mock and got 660 in it if am planning to give gmat on 5oct any chance of getting 700+?

So, top programs are St. Gallen, HEC Paris, LBS and Essec, Bocconi, Rotterdam, IE, Esade.... I’m not 100% sure about individual programs and if they require a 3 or 4 year degree, you will have to ensure you meet this requirement.

Hey guys....how one can finance his MBA fee, i can manage only half of the tuition fees in tier 1 universities.

I don’t think I can answer this question. I don’t know about the quality of expert global tests, I don’t know how you will study till oct5. This is totally a subjective question.

Hi Jen, how important according to you is the international experience for a MBA applicant?

It is written in St. Gallen website that one may not need to provide any proof for english proficiency ( IELTS, TOFL) but someone told me that they prefer candidates with these scores over who don’t
is it true?

I have 10 years of experience as sales engr, business development, and sales manager in international market. will it be considered as a plus point or would be weighed against me, as i can see that avg exp across top universities is around 4-5 yrs

This is a great and common question. The optimal answer would be scholarships, but it is unlikely that you will have enough scholarship and personal savings to cover ALL of the MBA expenses. Most candidates end up taking out a loan. There are a few options for loans (i’m not the expert in this area). As for scholarships, this will depend on your competitiveness for the program.

LamboWalker, Depends on the program - INSEAD, CBS they are going to certainly want you to have international experience prior to the program, preferred that you have worked abroad, even if for a few weeks or have daily interactions. Schools like NYU and LBS are going to want to see daily interactions/travels. And the rest of the top programs place value on international experience, but it isn’t a requirement.

All of this is to say, you need to illustrate how you have been able to work with and navigate cultural and communication differences. This can be professional or personal travel. If you have visited other countries on vacation, this counts! don’t discount your expeirences!

I’m not certain, but if your verbal score is lower, an English Proficiency exam may help adcoms clear any doubts they have.

10 years is at the top of the range for 2 year full-time MBA programs. You would be better applying to 1 year programs (make sure they don’t require a previous masters degree). The EU/UK schools are great of more seasoned candidates - RSM in particular.
