Hi,
I am a software professional. I have completed my bachelor of engineering in 2004 and right now I am working in a software firm. I am eager to appear for GMAT and want to do my MBA with finance as speciality. But I am not having any commerce background as well as I am not too much familiar with the finance system. In my professional career, I have worked in Banking domain only for 6 months or so. My doubt is -
1. Can I chose finance as speciality in my MBA?
2. I am an Indian by nationality. I am having some of my relatives in US. Can I get an educational loan from any US bank?
Please let me know about the fact. Waiting for your reply.

Correct me If I am wrong

Regards,

Amitava

Hi camitava,

You can certainly do finance as a concentration if you don't have a background in finance. I would suggest learning as much as you can about the industry before you apply, because it will add credibility to your goals and help you figure out what you like and don't like before you start the program.

Most MBA programs offer loans for international students through US banks. I would advise looking into those loans through the schools you are interested in. You can contact the financial aid office of any program with specific questions.

Good luck!

Amy

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
