Hello, I am from India with 4+ years of experience as a Tech Analyst. My profile -
10th or High School - 79%
12th or Intermediate - 84%
Graduate B.Tech - 79%
I don't come from a prestige college. Is there any hope for me? Should I start preparing for GMAT? Will the loan be enough to cover education abroad, or do I need a minimum balance to pursue my education? Are the global options doomed after Trump's visa scene?
Kindly share any resources to fill me in on these topics. I know these are very lame questions, but the internet is full of GMAT prep only, and I don't know where to ask these questions.

My responses to your questions:
1. I don't come from a prestige college.
It does not matter. What matters is what you offer to the schools, including your GMAT/GRE score, your work experience (quality and tenure) with achievements, your pragmatic career plans, your reasons for pursuing an MBA, your reco letters, etc etc.
2. Is there any hope for me?
Hope is never a good strategy; action is. See above.
3. Should I start preparing for GMAT?
No one else can answer this for you.
4. Will the loan be enough to cover education abroad, or do I need a minimum balance to pursue my education?
Too premature a question. There is no information about which country you wish to study, what format (1Y vs 2Y), etc. etc.
5. Are the global options doomed after Trump's visa scene?
No. Presidents come, presidents go. Your career will continue for over the next 20/30/40/50 years (depending on your age today). Will you define this future based on what's happening today in one country?

Hi shehran,
Here is a response to your queries:
-Yes, there is hope. Apart from your academic pedigree, what also matters are your achievements, your story, and why you wish to pursue an MBA. So, start your GMAT prep but also work on putting forth a strong application.
-Visa requirements will require some proof of funds (broadly to cover an year of tuition) but it is not like you need a huge bank balance. Loans will help you cover a majority of your expenses.
-Go for a STEM MBA. That way you are eligible to work for 3 years post completion of your MBA. Additionally, you can also target other geographies.
All the best!
