bond Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 u should look for European schools & not US ones. ur age is a potential problem.Most of Biz schools will question why now? second ur extra curriculars r a weak point.come on even u know Secondary school Volunterring doesn't count much in MBA.Also ur final rank in BE/BTech. counts & not individual ones.I'll recommend to go for 1 yr course in INSEAD,LBS,IMD.

cridamour Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 I don't think age will be a problem. Most MBA students are expected to have ample work experience. 8 years is probably about the average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchakrain Posted October 13, 2005 Author Share Posted October 13, 2005 Thanks for the insights.I am still in a dilemma whether to go for the 1 yr European MBA or the traditional 2 yr program. 1 yr MBA - Short period,lower oppurtunity costs but lesser learning,not ideal for career changers(like me) 2 yr MBA - Expensive but greater learning,enrichment.

I am also contemplating the Executive MBA option @ LBS.Problem seems to me that I have too many options but I am not certain what will be the correct choice ? Guys, Do you know what it will take to get into Harvard ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
