At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

Hey all,
I am an Indian, pursuing for GMAT this year in August. I have currently 8 months of work ex in an IT company. So, till the time I will give GMAT I will have an years experience. In 10th I got 93% , 12th 86% and did B.Tech in Computer Science with 7.93/10 CGPA.
My doubt is that, in which colleges in INDIA or abroad I can apply where they can accept my application with 1 year of experience. I don't want to wait and get more experience, rather I want to apply this year only. What should be my approach ?
I tried searching online, but the results were not fruitful.
Thank you

Dear jatinrajvanshi,
I'm happy to respond.
I am primarily a GMAT Expert, so I can tell you much more about the GMAT than about specialized B-school programs. A few things to consider.
1) If you have only one year of work experience, you are asking schools to take a big risk on you, and this may eliminate some more competitive schools for which you would have a much better chance with a couple years of experience. Realize that your desire to move quickly may involve the cost of going to a somewhat less competitive school. You might ask yourself if that's worth the strategic trade-off.
2) Think about why schools want a candidate with 2+ years of work experience. The business world involves its own logic, and it can be hard for an outsider to appreciate its complexity. One way to show schools that, after only one year, you are ready is by becoming an "expert" on the business world in general and on the sector you want to pursue in particular. How do you do this? By reading. Read the business news. Read the Wall Street Journal every day. Read the Economist magazine and Bloomberg Businessweek. By the time you walk into your interviews, you head should be brimming with facts and figures. If you can impress folks with your detailed knowledge, then your relative lack of experience won't matter.
All this reading would have the secondary benefit of vastly improving your performance on the GMAT Verbal section. See:
How to Improve Your GMAT Verbal Score
Does all this make sense?

Hi jatinrajvanshi,
Many Business Schools expect applicants to have 2-5 years of quality business experience when they apply to School. If you have considerably less experience than that (and/or the experience you have isn't particularly noteworthy), then you might find it difficult to get accepted to a highly-competitive Program. While there are certainly lots of Schools/Programs out there, the process of applying to (and ultimately attending) Business School requires a big investment of time, money and energy on your part - so you really should make sure that you are choosing a School that best matches your career goals (and not just one that is likely to accept you). All of this also depends on your GMAT score, which you currently don't have yet.
1) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
2) What is your goal score?
