In this live 60-minute masterclass, How to Get Ahead of MBA Recruiting Now, we’ll walk through the four biggest mistakes incoming MBAs make and how to avoid them so you’re not scrambling to catch up once recruiting begins.
Hello Experts
I am an Indian male having 3 years 6 months of experience (as of September 2014) in Business Development, Marketing and Brand Management.
I am an Engineer by education and have also completed PGDM (MBA equivalent) from a decent (top 20) B school in India. Though my GPA in both courses is not extra ordinary (~3-3.2) and could be a negative point.
After post-graduation, I have worked in the consumer products domain and my first job was in BD role with an Indian FMCG giant where I worked for an year and a half. Post this, I joined a very small organisation as an assistant Brand Manager and worked there on some exciting projects for 1 year. Since October last year, I have been working with a European MNC as a marketing manager where I am reporting to an expat.
I have been associated with a social sector NGO working in the poorest districts of Uttar Pradesh India. The NGO is working on Green Energy and livelihoods and I have spent considerable time with them on fund raising and program assistance over the last 3 years.
Now there are two issues (how I see them) with my profile: 1. average GPA in earlier education and 2. three jobs in three years!
My GMAT is scheduled for last week of October, and in the three mocks that I have attempted so far, I have scored 680, 700 and 720.
I request advise on three things:
- the courses where I can apply
- the intake which I can practically target
- what kind of help I can get from application consultants (and the costs associated)
One course that I've liked so far is the MBA in Marketing Research from University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Apart from this, I will be glad if you can advise courses/ universities which could be within reach of a person with my background. My leaning is towards marketing courses and I would prefer a one year course, though two years is not a problem either.
Also, are the European B-schools: St Gallen, Mannhein and others within reach for someone with 3-4 years of experience?
Please let me know if I have missed sharing any information.
Thanks

Hi aryabhata,
You have an average profile. But, you are in perfect stage of your career to go for an MBA Course. Based on your work experience and mock GMAT Score, I would suggest you to apply to few B-Schools like - Kenan Flagler, Emory, Indiana Kelley and UT Austin McCombs. These are U.S based 2 year full time MBA programs based on the assumption that you get 680+ GMAT Score.
However, if you are targeting European one year MBA programs these are the schools you can target - IE Business School, IESE Business School, HEC and St. Gallen. Manheim Business School is within your reach but it is not as good in marketing as the above mentioned B-Schools. If you are targeting European B-Schools then this year deadline is already over so you can apply in 2015.
As you have average profile, admissions consultants can help you to prepare your application strong. I would strongly suggest you to take admission consultants help.
You may also try your chances of getting admission in above mentioned B-Schools by trying this tool https://bit.ly/1rRCod5
Hope that helps.
Cheers!

Thanks for your response.
Can you suggest which US schools I can target for the 2015 intake, considering that I'm standing at base-level in the middle of September with no work done on essays or recommendations as of now. How much of a difference does R1/R2 application have in these schools?
I am confident that I can score in the range of 710-720 as I still have 6 weeks to go for the GMAT and the 680 I scored was with zero preparation.
And any review on the Wisconsin-Madison course?
Thanks again for your help.
