For you, US will provide the best opportunity to do an MBA at the earliest, but please work on accumulating some good work experience before proceeding with the plans.

­Hi Sonakshi_Bose12,

Thanks for writing in.

Whether you should apply to the UK or USA would depend on when you intend to apply (and how many years of experience you will have at the time of application). The choice of schools will depend on your overall profile, GMAT/GRE score, as well as your career goals.

We feel you will benefit from a detailed profile evaluation session; kindly get in touch with us and we will help you schedule the same.

In the meantime, please go through the following video to gain a better understand of how schools are shortlisted:



Hope this helps.

All the best!

Hey there Sonakshi_Bose12!

Chiming in on the whole US vs. UK for your MBA. It's a decision that has people scratching their heads for a long time. Look, both the US and the UK have these incredible universities with amazing alumni networks. You can't go wrong building your career with that kind of backing!


  • The Land of Opportunity (USA): Think Harvard, Stanford, Wharton – seriously impressive names, right? Plus, the programs tend to be broader, giving you a chance to explore before specializing. On the flip side, things can get pricey, and the 2-year programs take a bit more commitment.
  • Across the Pond (UK): The UK pulls you in with shorter, 1-year programs – perfect if you're eager to get back in the game. Many programs also have a strong international vibe, which is cool if you want that global perspective. The downside? There might be fewer options for specialization compared to the US, and competition for top schools can be tough.

Honestly, picking specific schools is tricky without knowing your grades, GMAT/GRE score, and any work experience you might have. But both the US and UK have fantastic programs for recent grads!

Let's chat! Sign up for a free profile evaluation call with our admission experts. They'll take a good look at your background and give you a realistic shot of getting into top MBA programs in both the US and the UK. Considering all your options and goals, we can figure out the perfect fit for you. No pressure, just some friendly guidance to help you make this big decision!

­@Sonakshi_Bose12- This would depend on factors including your GMAT/ GRE score, career goals, work-ex (quality and quantity), extracurriculars, and personal preferences. If you're applying as a fresher, MiM programs offer a strong alternative; top MiM programs globally are here.

If you'd like to apply after 2 years (most global MBA programs require atleast 2 years work-ex), top MBA programs (based on % hired) for consulting, finance and marketing careers are here, here and here. Average work-ex and age at top MBA programs are here. 

Hope this helps a bit.

Sonakshi_Bose12:

If you are really prepared and can pull together a top-notch, differentiated application, you could look at being accepted through the deferred MBA admissions process. In short, you apply when you are in your fourth/senior year. If you are accepted, you then are required to work 2-3 years on a full-time basis before matriculating.

Pros: It's a great opportunity for those who want to have a "sure thing" in the bag. You get access to the MBA network in advance as well as the branding of being an already accepted student.

Cons: It's insanely competitive given how few slots are open. It also favors students with impeccable credentials and those who come from "unusual" backgrounds.
