Are you looking to apply to US Business schools?

Hi, I am a qualified ACCA and CFA, I do not have an undergraduate degree, I have 9 years of experience as an auditor/accountant, can I still apply for MBA in US? really appreciate if some one can shed some light on it, Thanks

If i were to have a good future in USA. Is it good to accept offer from ISB ?

Hi. Unfortunately all US and Top European schools require an undergraduate college degree. I have known one member who was a very accomplished entrepreneur and a high GMAT score owner… he was rejected everywhere and told the schools could not admit him unfortunately. It was very sad 😢 but it did not seem to phase him too much. I admire the guy for his resilience and accomplishments. I would be devastated but he shrugged it off

Hello, I am a fresher. I am 20. I am planning to give gmat this july for 2024 fall intake. I need guidance. Please Tell me which university I can go for MIM program.

Since I am a fresher and don’t have any work experience.

I am actually having a hard time deciding between India vs Abroad B-Schools.

Hey Sam,

That's great if you are considering a Master's in Management Program (MiM), and it's fine that you don't have work experience. To give you a more detailed answer, I would like to know more about your academics (educational background), extracurriculars, courses & certifications, achievements, and anything you feel adds value to your profile.

hi

what’s the best way to know my prep level?

Hello. I am getting the daily GMAT Club question of the day. The answer to the Quant question is always a letter (A through E), but my e-mail never includes a list of options to reference so I don’t know what the letter corresponds to.

Hey guys, looking for advice from members experienced in mba admissions. I recently took the GMAT and scored a 720 (V41, Q48). It’s a good score for me but lurking around forums has me second guessing myself.

I guess it might be helpful to give a bit of context: I come from an immigrant working class family (i.e. not Chinese) in HK. I grew up as a public school kid (even uni), so I had to pick up Chinese and English despite them not being my family’s language. Parents couldn’t afford too much on my schooling since I have a disabled younger brother. I did alright in school, but not necessarily stellar. I worked in the education for 2 years helping kids of my background. Then decided to pivot to financial services to go "corporate". But I started reading up on this "Asian Tax" on gmat scores and wondering if I’ll be lumped into being an overrepresented demo, which would hurt my chances.

I was interested in the M7 since they’re well known and people from those schools end up fast tracking their income potential here. The bottom line is that I just want to go into asset management post mba and make a lot of money to help my family’s situation.

Is the payoff of scoring a 750 vs a 720 going to be worth it or should I focus on other aspects of my application to give myself better odds? I would prefer not to spend unnecessary money on retaking the test if the benefits of a higher score would be negligible past a certain threshold.

(Planning to apply in 2024)

(Sorry for the long message but any advice would be amazing)

Hi tanisha1508,

What did you decide to do?

Hi
I still have to go through the trials. Will choose after that.

I want to know if ttp is good for verbal since I need to work very hard on that

So ttp or egmat for verbal?

Could someone suggest good online courses to help add value to profile for finance students?
