Masters Programs for Freshers Post Mon May 07, 2012 10:59 am
Hi,

I wish to get some information about programs that I can apply to as a fresher.
I am aware that to do an MBA, one needs work experience of atleast 3 years, but I have heard of programs like MiM and MEM that accept applicants with 0-2 years of Work Experience. Can you list some more of such kind of programs?
Where can I find more information, related to list of schools that offer these, their rankings and so on?
What do you think about such programs?

The main reason why I want to pursue a Masters degree so early is mainly to improve Job opptortunities for myself.

My GMAT score is 720
Here in India, we dont have GPA system, but I am pretty sure that mine would lie in the "Low GPA" category.
Would it be possible to get into top schools that offer MIM/MEM/(any other programs for freshers) despite the low GPA? If yes, how so?


I am keenly waiting for your reply.
Thanks in advance.

Hey there, unfortunately MBA programs (especially in the US) are becoming super competitive, and as a freshman, there's a small chance you could get into such a program. Not sure how important GPA is to the MiM or MEM programs you speak of, but my best advice is to finish school with the best grades possible, and figure it out then. I went to a Boston business school and despite my lower GPA, I had plenty of work experience.
