Hi there,
I wanted to know how business schools look at masters degree ,if any, in the application and how this may affect the admission. ( btw, this degree im referring to is M.Tech degree in india ref:wikipedia Master of engineering )
I have given gmat (700) and have a work experience of 18 months (im still continuing in the job... so by the time the fall starts, i will be finishing 2 years work ex...) . I am working as a software engineer in an Indian IT firm. I have finished my masters degree before starting to work here. (i have 1 publication against my name) .. Also I have done my summer intern (online...not on campus) for CMU for around 2.5 months .... I have a GPA of 3.5
Considering my typical Indian IT work ex profile, is it possible that I can use master's degree , summer intern and projects done during my acads as an advantage or is it that bschools do not give much weight age to your acads compared to your workex ...
Kindly provide information.
Regards
Ravi
