Hello fellow BTG people,
I am Prithvi from India. I completed my undergraduate bacholer of engineering(B.E) in mechanical engineering in 2011, been working since Aug-2011 and have three years of work-ex in engineering R&D services industry. Recently i caught a bug, actually two i would say.... one an MBA and the other "systems engineering". Now being a mechanial engineer Im a bit inclined towards MIT's SDM program.
Now here's the catch, either way I feel my work-ex falls on the lower side for an MBA or even SDM, qualitatively I had hardly come across situations where-in i was required to demonstrate the so-called leadership traits or qualities. As such, I've taken the first step in this regard and plan to get done with GMAT before this coming august.
My question to fellow BTG members is,
1)How is MIT's SDM compared to an MBA from elite schools, even sloan for that matter.
2)How are the career prospects compared to that of an MBA.
3)Being a mechanical engineer, how can I utilize a year or two before i start applying to B-schools or MIT's SDM to stand out from the applicants pool.
Lastly, Is there any member who graduated from SDM? Please give in your thoghts about the program and the life after graduating from it.
Thanks everyone
Prithvi
