Hello anarchist112 AKA Thomas Albert from India:
The the first thing I noticed about your request for help is that it demonstrates a certain amount of haste, and thus disorganization. You seem to be all over the place both in the nature of your request, tone and through structure.
I believe that the choices you need to know in the very near future – apparently by or before January 15 – are not as complicated as you're making them to be. That is, if you were to more clearly structure your thoughts, you would not feel he is anxious. Additionally, what you're asking me to do would have definitely seemed more clear. Nonetheless, I will try to do my best to address your very, very urgent concerns – as I want to do my best to make sure you know how seriously I take your request.
I cannot really answer objectively how the admissions committee will review your Masters degree in finance. This is because I do not know enough about you and your goals. I also have no idea what your five years of experience constitutes. I have no idea if your finance degree will build towards goals – goals that are coherent and that required an advanced degree in finance and an MBA. Right now, since you have elected to not pay any attention or foresight to your goals, it looks like you are collecting degrees. You may feel that you have, but in your haste to post this message and demand a serious answer, you completely missed your goals. Stop and breathe for a second .... goals are really, really important. Remember, the MBA degree is meant to get you somewhere. It is the bridge that connects your past experiences with your future goals. The master's degree in finance should do the same thing. Since I only have half the information I need, it really does not do any good to tell me that you are in a hurry. The onus is on you to provide me the right information I need to evaluate your profile.
I know that a forum only requires a certain amount of formality, but the nature and tone of your request denotes a lack of awareness and proper communication. I know that you into a reputed college in India, and I applaud you for that, but the business world and interpersonal communication skills require more than a degree. They require your ability to sell an idea. This not only will attest to your communication style, but also your ability to form a coherent request.
So it seems that we're back at square one, with respect to your request. Please provide the additional information needed in an organized fashion and I will do my best to respond in kind.
Respectfully,
Paul Lanzillotti

Need ur help
plz treat this very important as i need to decide on this before Jan15th
I am Thomas Albert from India. Am looking forward to enroll for MBA 2013 Fall intake.
Am having 5 years of quality work experience. Am planning to do full time MS Finance program from a reputed university in US in 2012.
How does Adcom evaluate my profile if i apply to MBA program for 2013 intake soon after the completion of MS Finance program?
Does this strengthen my application or weaken my chances to get in as my 5 years of work experience will be prior to MS Finance that am planning to do.
My priority is in doing MBA. So I dont want to compromise on MBA at any cost.
I wish to do MS in Finance and later get specilisation in MBA in Strategic Management or General Mangaement.
If doing MS now will make my chances for getting into MBA later as my work ex is prior to MS Finance and i will hold no work ex after MS, then am ready to wait for one more year and apply to MBA program.
