One year mba in USA

Thank you MBADecoder and MBAGuide for your feedback’s.
I understand that 1 yr mba does not have internship opportunity. In addition, having just 3 years experience all the more add possibly as a disadvantage.
However , my 3 years of work experience is from a consulting background and I’m looking for accelerating my career through the one year mba.
As I’m from India and don’t have work experience in USA and will not doing any internship there as well, will all these be a demerit if a choose the 1 year mba program ?

Hi Pre97 , my humble opinion is that it is best to talk to a few alums from the school to get an idea of the situation on the ground.

You haven't told much about your experience but according to me there could be three scenarios:

1. you have consulting experience in Big4 and want to get into any management consulting job in the US (including Big4): this seems doable even with 1 year MBA

2. you have a consulting experience in Big4 and want to get into MBB or tier 2 management consulting only (Think boutique firms or AT Kearney, Strategy&, LEK etc) : You would definitely benefit from doing an internship with one of these firms. MBB in my opinion are quite selective in terms of prior consulting brand associations.

3. you already have consulting experience in MBB or tier 2 management consulting : 1 year MBA should be good for you to move into mid/senior roles

Best wishes

Hi, I spoke to one of my team members who has done the Kellogg one year MBA. I am sharing his inputs here:

After finishing the first quarter for one-year MBAs, you are technically considered a second-year MBA student, which means you go directly into full-time recruiting with the second-year students. While companies don't differentiate between one year and two year MBAs, you would be a bit less prepared. This is because two year MBA students have gone through the internship process, which is roughly the same as the recruiting process- so they have gone through the networking/ interviews/ recruiting once already, so they are better prepared for the recruiting as compared to one year MBA students, esp, if you have never worked in the US.
So, if you want to work in the same industry, then its ok t do a one year MBA, but if you wish to change your industry then a two year MBA will smoothen that process for you

in terms of eligibility- you will need to have studied some business curriculum prior to joining, so you will need to get the adcom's approval before you apply to know whether you fit their criteria.

Hope this helps!
