Hi - are you applying for Deferred / 2+2 programs in your final year of college, or are you asking for advice on regular programs (that you'll apply a few years down the line)? Please let me know and then I'm happy to steer you in the right direction. Thanks!

I have not thought about the deferred programs like HBS 2+2 ,Darden,Yale or ISB but I am not averse to this idea. However I am looking for the normal full time program since I want to have some actual experience in management/leadership roles so that I know what are the challenges and get a better idea about MBA itself.

However, I think that doing an IT job in an established company,I would not be offered leadership roles straightaway so this is one thing I am pondering over.

Also this is why I have also thought of applying to some fellowships like LAMP(Legislative Assistant to Member of Parliament)/similar fellowships after doing my job for a year or two and see if i do get some leadership role there.

Thanks for taking your time out and replying to my post.

Got it - for regular full-time MBA program entry, you'll want to have at least a few years of work experience, so I would wait until then to apply and in the meantime, build your career in IT (you definitely won't be offered a leadership role straightaway, but over time your responsibilities will increase if you do well).
