I am assuming a long term career interest in the field. None of these schools is a truly big name apart from Cranfield's program, which is quite well regarded. Why not try the GMAT/GRE again and try some of the biggest in the field - MIT's MLOG / ZLOG Program, Georgia Tech's ISYE school and Cranfield?

Hi, I wrote GMAT twice and got 600 (2nd time)... So.... I am skeptical about trying GMAT once more. Thanks,

Hi i am in a big problem regarding admission for my MBA in USA
My resume is weaK as i have just 15 year education and no wor experience but i want to go in September 2012..Also i am pretty late with my GMAT as i have my exam on 20th January...i think i'll geet above 650...What should i do? i Know i am not gonna get a very very good uni but i can compromise with that..Can you tell me the universities which accept 15year education+no wor ex+ my applications in February.
Also i'd like to now if there is anything else related to business which i can do in USA other than the MBA where i have a good chance of a better uni and it has a good value too..Please list the universities and courses for these too...
Thanks
1)US Unis look for 2 years experience minimum for MBA.
2)Recruiting scene is bad in the US/Europe. people are returning from M7 schools - HSWChi etc. My friends at London Business School & Oxford are returning too, so do the math about Tier 2 schools. Tier 2 US MBA won't hold much value, might as well go IIM/SPJain/MDI/FMS/Symbi/XLRI in that case.
3)Figure out what you want to do with your life/career in terms of geography, industry, profile before you commit years of your life, hard earned money/savings of your parents. Life's not a race where you need an MBA by 23.
From your post I figure you want to migrate/work abroad. Why not try for the MSc Management program at richard ivey school of business, university of western ontario canada (pre work experience). It is considered the HBS of Canada (best school in Canada), and you'll have access to all the on campus recruitment events, which mean higher chances of getting a job as opposed to a tier 2 US MBA. Also, post the degree, lesser visa issues, you get PR quickly and then citizenship. In the US you could consider the MMS at Duke Fuqua and the Master's in Engineering Mgmt programmes offered by Duke, Stanford, Cornell and Dartmouth

^^ I do not know. Fuqua is a top school, so I'm sure it must be competitive to get into. As an Indian, you could do with a better GMAT score (Indians at these schools usually have far higher GMAT scores). I don't think they accept 3 year degrees. The job market is bad, and as an Indian, it must be hard now. This is just hearsay, you might want to investigate further. Things might improve later. I guess you might have a decent shot at Ivey's MSc in Management.
But the problem, as I see it is the 'deep confusion'. What is it about? If you explore some of the wisdom on this thread, you'll find people talk about how life's not a race, hence, there is no need to be in a rush. You're just 20. Figure out what you want to do with your life and career. Treat education as a means to an end and not the end itself (despite what your relatives might say about 'finishing off education and settling down' - they haven't a clue about US MBAs in that case). Economic crashes have been occurring throughout history, it is not the end of the world. Things are bound to improve. Just make sure you're well equipped to jump on the bandwagon when it comes.

I'm not sure if Ivey accepts 3 year long bachelor's degrees, but if I'm not mistaken Canada does run 3 year long UG programs in which case it should accept it.
Why're you assuming you can't score higher than 650? MBA admissions are very subjective, they depend on how you craft your essays & your life story, how well that fits in with the school culture. Schools like to maintain balanced classes where diversity is maintained (in terms of nationalities represented, professions, backgrounds etc). This is a reason why Indian IT Males face insane competition. So if you're.. say a female social worker from Colombia, you definitely don't face as much competition. I've heard of hedge fund managers (Portfolio Mgrs) with spotless records (straight As private school, ivy undergrad, buy side finance post that) getting rejected by Harvard. ofcourse, I doubt the reason they got rejected were the lack of credential,s perhaps they wanted to balance their class out a little more. At the end of the day it is very subjective, and from what my friends at top schools around the world tell me, the class profile is incredibly diverse. You need to find your USP and craft your application such that it fits with the school's culture (as far as I know).
PS : If you're at Ivey next year, I might just be your classmate 😉

plz help me regarding this..
is it worth going abroad to do mba without having any work ex??..
i hv passed engg in june 2011 and currently doing 1 year pgdbm course..which will over in june 2012...
harshalgandhi Saysplz help me regarding this.. is it worth going abroad to do mba without having any work ex??.. i hv passed engg in june 2011 and currently doing 1 year pgdbm course..which will over in june 2012...
!!..Currently i am just sure of couple of things which i dont want to do but is really confused with what all options i have now and where can i turn my career so that i can bring it back on track ASAP!
Hi, considering my current career stagnation i am in need of some immediate advice regarding various career options available to me and thus i am really looking forward on this thread!!
A brief about my profile (pls help me in rating my profile, critics appreciated)
- Xth : 86% (ICSE)
- XII: 90% (ISC) -College topper (The only strong point i suppose)
- B.Tech: 8.34 (VIT:Electrical)
Work-ex:
July '09 - April-'10 (10 months): In steel industry as electrical engineer-Project site exp-Changed the job (not liking the place and also to prepare for mba exams)
May'10-Oct'11 (1.5 yrs): In IT services (Nothing gr8 to mention about it).
Doing nothing from Nov'11. Almost sure of not getting admits in good indian mba colgs this yr! Now when 2011 is almost over and i look back on my 2 yr of career i find myself without any decent profile of mine!!..Currently i am just sure of couple of things which i dont want to do but is really confused with what all options i have now and where can i turn my career so that i can bring it back on track ASAP!
a) I don't want to make a career in IT for myself.(May be because i find it too generic!)
b) Thinking of international education but currently i think i have missed the deadlines for all the good courses for Fall'12.(Considering i haven't written GMAT).Also i am not much aware of what all progs are suitable for a mixed profile like this (Some options on this will be gr
c) With almost 2.1 yr of exp now i am gradually losing interest in regular 2 yr prog at Indian mba colg (Not talking about top 10) .However considering my small core work-ex and little-bit of interest in Supply chain/ Process oriented works, i think i can make my career in this field. But again my little work ex comes as a hurdle...
Now, should i search again for a job and wait for a year preparing for gmat or should i join an international reputed non-mba progs like master of manag or MSc kinds? (But here my dilemma is i don't want to take up a job in IT again and not sure of getting a job like that of a research analyst. Also this might add a 3rd domain to my career and might weaken up my chances while writing my SOPs later). Do you also think apart from SCM/ops related course there is any other course which might be suitable for me?
I know it will be very hard to suggest something for confused guys like me who have changed his job so frequently, but still i am sure you experts will surely help me in chalking out a better career plan for me and help me in 0streamlining my thought process to take up a career plan with utmost grit and determination....Thanks for being patient in reading this long post :)
You're right about being confused :-). What stagnation.... 23 years old and stagnating already???
Search for a job again, learn something from it, achieve success and some skills and functional competency. Employers of MBAs graduating from b-schools abroad look for some specific functional skills first, your ability to first contribute, then on your potential seen through education (MBA or whatever).
If not IT, then what? SCM/Processes? Look for a role that's in this space. You're still young enough to get into the Management Trainee program of several corporates.
Don't see education as an escape from your current circumstances.
All the best

Thanks a lot for this..Seriously appreciate your words..However,do you think that taking up a new job in a new domain now will at least take two-three years to build a strong profile and thus it might be a bit late? For various courses abroad, generally whats the criteria for admit..Do they consider only the job experience and ones academics excellency comes only after that? Or is it like if a person is able to prove his interest and ability to excel in any particular course, he might hold a chance of getting admit.
Also though it's off topic but since u mentioned it, can u pls suggest me some good site/corporate names where i can look for jobs related to SCM/processes or of MTs at this stage?
Thanks
