Hi Experts,
I am an Indian female with a non-technical background and 10 years of work experience in the HR domain. I want to pursue one year MBA Program in the US. Would my application be considered for the same? Also, is age really a constraint while applying to any regular program especially if you are on the higher side of it?
Please advise.

Hello Pooja,
The decision to apply for a 1 or 2-year MBA program is contingent on your career goals. A 1-year program is an accelerated program of the 2-year program.
Asides that, the 2-year program presents an opportunity for an internship
May of the schools you listed above also offer a 1-year program, although it could also come in online, hybrid or evening formats.
For your second question, there is not harm in applying for an MBA with 10-year work experience. While the average experience for most full time MBA program is about 5-7years, you can still secure an MBA admission with 10-year work experience.
At TitanR Consulting, we have helped numerous students like you secure admissions at your target schools; many of whom had work experience over 5 years.
We would work together with you to craft a unique application tailored to your strengths. This would improve your chance of securing admissions at your target schools.
