Hi Tin, There aren’t really good international options similar to Schulich. Most you’ll find are Indian schools offering few terms outside India. Also, if you’re considering Schulich, enquire if the cost is substantially different between India and Canada campuses. You’ll save some on living...

Hi Salaj, You’ve few mountains (IT, 2.4) to climb. And # of applications in most Canadian schools went up this year, making it more competitive to get in than in previous years.

Hi estellewho, 600 is low. GMAT score being a component of most MBA rankings, schools would be wary to consider an applicant with a score much lower than their median score unless the applicant brings something exceptional to the table usually in the form of professional experience. In my opinion, y...

Hi Srikanth.B, Every international school looks for diversity. Given your professional background, you won’t have to fall head over heels to differentiate yourself like one has to do in some applicant pools such as IT, but your application still needs to carry weight (leadership, self-awareness, c...

Hi kaaviar, Recruitment generally tends to be regional: companies on West coast will recruit more at the schools on West coast and so on. However, companies which recruit MBAs in large numbers (consulting, finance, and some tech firms) do transcend regional boundaries. There would be few MBA recruit...

To add, your hedge fund background will help and a higher score too will. As far as extracurricular activities are concerned, you don't need lot of them. Depth in one is far more important than a smattering of 3-4. It could even come from your professional experience: organizing non-professional eve...

Agree. Applicants take tests at different times of the year depending on their individual constraints, which adcoms understand. So, taking test a month or so before the deadline isn’t going to raise any questions on your commitment to pursue an MBA. Either way – reinstating or not reinstating - ...

Hi atticus936, Given the middle 80% range of top schools, your score would fall somewhere in bottom 5-10% at these schools, which makes your case challenging. Nonetheless (given few compensatory factors you’ve mentioned), I would say you’re in a low-probability category, and not fantasy-land pro...
