Ask an MBA Admissions Consultant

Profile: Male,Indian,28
Work Ex: 5 years till Today
2 yrs in films and two years in Software
Undergrad: 57% ~3.0 GPA

How realistic are my chances for Fall 2016 at:

1. NUS Singapore
2. UBC Sauder
3. Texas A&M Mays

Please suggest me colleges suitable for my profile.
Thank you.

Prateek,

Consider the following:

1. I am sure you don't need me to tell you that you are pretty late in the day. Nonetheless, NUS/NTU timelines might still be within grasp. For most others, it can be a pretty risky proposition.
2. For reasons mentioned here, we do not provide gut-based school suggestions. That said, be conservative given the odds would be my suggestion.
3. You haven't mentioned a GMAT score. Is that a done deal yet? That will be pretty important given that your undergrad GPA seems to be below average (?).
4. It is not clear what you've done in films and how that links to the software gig you have today. If not linked, this can severely fracture your experience. So make sure you have a story there.

Hope this helps some

Cheers,

Hi Prateek,

Your GMAT score of 680 is above the average for your target schools, but you would need to show a focus for your career progression, and post-MBA goals. Communicating a clear link among your past experiences, personal qualities, the target MBA program, and post-MBA goals are important in showing how you would benefit from the MBA and how this will help you achieve your goals.

Hope this helps you introspect, choose your schools, and prepare a compelling application package.
