Ask Veritas Prep Admissions Consulting

Hi

I have shifted to US last year after getting married. I have a bachelor in Commerce and Bachelor in Design from India. And I worked for a leading fashion designer for 2 years and 9 months. I want to pursue MBA in Marketing to get into the retail strategy sector in a fashion industry. Being from fashion industry does not really ensure great mathematical skill and I am taking a lot of taking brushing up on my skills, and also the conversion in various unit systems doesn't really help.

Is my profile good enough for a MBA? Also is there any particular preparation classes available who can help students like me?

Regards
Ria

Ria--Veritas has a great prep course and you can even just elect to take the quant only prep if you choose. I would say that an unusual background can be an advantage, and since there are not a lot of fashion industry applicants, you should leverage that in your favor. You are doing the right things. You might also consider taking a statistics course, or calculus for business, or accounting, etc. somewhere. This would also demonstrate your commitment to b-school and help you prepare for the quant-heavy academic side.
