Question

Hi All,
Need your Advice for MBA in Canada.
Btech: 66% avg
Work exp: 2.8 years in IT Industry 
Gmat: 560
IELTS: yet to give.

I am aiming for Uni Calgary, Uni Windsor, Alberta business school, Degroote Bschool, Dalhousie university.
What are my chances of getting admits to these with my current profile. Or should I take the gmat again?

Also how are B schools that accept only IELTS interms of job prospects and ROI?

Thanks in Advance.

Hi Sooraj,

The schools you're targeting are tier-2 schools in Canada. 
Haskayne - Calgary, Alberta and Degroote will be slightly difficult to get in as their average GMAT score is around 600. But you should be ok with Windsor and Dalhousie. You may want to look at:

1. Ted Rogers Ryerson 
2. Beedie SFU 
3. Lazaridis WLU

One of the reasons why candidates target higher ranking schools is to get better jobs. When you go down the list, the tuition fee, average GMAT score, etc all become less competitive. And obviously it will affect your job prospects too. However, going to a top-notch school doesn't guarantee success or even pursuing an MBA for that matter. So to answer your question, a school that doesn't require GMAT will definitely not be as good for job prospects. ROI may be good. Hope this helps. 
Good Luck!

Thank you for your reply sir.RYERSON, SFU and WLU are one year courses, I am looking for a full time 2 years program. How are Royal Military College and Vancouver Island University?

Hi Sooraj,

Apologies for the late response. Other schools you've mentioned are also Tier-2. I'd recommend looking for co-op MBA programs. In co-op, you study for 1 sem and work for 1 sem. At least this way you will have a local Canadian work ex before you start looking for full-time jobs.

Hi surabhichaudhary20 , You have a nice profile. Good GMAT score. And nice work ex. Which country are you targeting? What is your post-MBA goal? If you're looking for Canada then: 1. Ivey 2. Queens 3. HEC Montreal these are probably the best 1-year programs for you. I'd recommend you to please fill out this form (https://forms.gle/JTByKuy6fPZBPH3fA) and let's have a call to discuss your school. Hope this helps.
