I had written to the MiM admissions committee, regarding my eligibility for the MiM programme and they suggested me to consider applying for an MBA as the work experience is more than that of average students in the MiM programme (I am considering applying to MiM R4 2023 fall intake).
However, I feel like my work experience may be an issue applying for the Jan - 2023 intake for the Insead MBA
Thanks and Regards,
Suba
