"200 percent flawed?" Really? Hmm. "Indians don't want a foreign MBA?" Ok, sure whatever you say. They must not if you say so. I live in in India by the way - I hire local MBAs, so I do have an appreciation for them. You have two true facts but they do not refute my logic - 1) Indian MBA's are competitive (true) and 2) more affordable than foreign MBA's. You make an argument that based on this locals prefer them to foreign MBAs. Ok, no issue there. Sure if you do an NPV you might find that the initial cash outlay makes a local MBA a better choice (when speaking about the top 2 or 3 Indian MBA programs) than US Ivy's. That's an interesting and debatable conjecture that does not refute my logic. My logic is that the examples of 1) switching from a nonprofit to a for profit job and 2) moving from a low income country to a high one would greatly skew the distribution of a percentage change in income stat. I postulated that this would support why many in India might want to get an MBA degree. That banglalore and ahmedabab b schools might be preferable on an NPV basis does not refute this logic. It merely states that India has two very competitive schools, which although interesting, is not important nor contradictory to my theory.

I was only talking about that one line And my reference point was the average middle class ppl. I have seen soo many of my friends who got admit from both Ivy leagues and Indian schools and chose Indian ones simply because of expenses. But then there are ppl who can easily afford it and only apply to foreign ones. I agree with your other points You ll make it

While you're refuting my logic and understanding of statistics, the average middle class person in India makes about 2 dollars a day and lives in a slum or in a hut in a village. They are not considering Harvard vs. IIM. Let's be honest, the "average middle class" you are talking about are people much more wealthy and educated than average. I'm just saying your use of the word "average middle class" is 200 percent wrong

Okay fine. Lets call it upper middle class !

You're still talking about people who are probably at least 3-4 standard deviations from the mean of income wealth in India. It would be be like calling a 760 gmat score in the "upper-middle" of the score distribution. It's pretty clearly in the tail. Im just saying In any case, I'm just having fun with you. You can imagine what a stressful time this is. You'll be in my shoes soon, but you'll probably be really disappointed if you get in to Insead because it's more expensive than IIM Bangalore

Another day of excitement is heading our way. Please do not forget to update your status to us . Good lucks to all in waiting.

@ducceus, can you please let us know the admit stats from mba connect..i just want to know the number of indians admitted so far and the total number of admits so far.
