Hello,
I am very happy to report that today I have received an admit from 2 MBA colleges of my choice.
I started out my journey with a GMAT score of 560 during my first attempt in Dec 2008. Thereafter, I decided to retake the GMAT but to my surprise received an even lower score of 540.
However, I did apply to five schools and have also been selected by 3 MBA schools. One of them is American University - Kogod School of Business in Washington DC. I have also received a scholarship of 3500$ per semester or 14,000$ (25%) of the MBA program covered over 2 years.
I also received a mail from Baruch College on 28th May requesting for a phone interview. I must say, the phone interview was very tough (according to me) as the questions were quite complicated. I had to make split second decisions but all in all faired pretty well on the interview. Sounding confident is the key. You have to be focused !
So I just received a mail from Baruch within 24hrs of my phone interview. I have received an admit to the Full Time Honors program at Baruch - Zicklin School of Business.
I also received a mail from Fordham University the very same day. I have received an admission from Fordham as well. I was pretty amazed that the school did not demand a phone interview. However, the MBA program is very good at this school also.
I feel really proud of myself today and I can say with pride that your GMAT score is not all that matters. I am sure 560 is pretty low for Baruch considering I had applied in the last and final round. My essays were stellar and my interview was fantastic. I believe the phone interview plays a BIG part in the MBA admissions. I live in India and need to get to NY by Aug 3rd !!
I am very confused on deciding between Baruch and Fordham. I am more inclined towards the Honors MBA program at Baruch College. However, I am getting mixed reactions from people. There is the whole private college versus public college confusion and rankings in general
I would appreciate your views on the above college and on which would be better in terms of career prospects post my MBA and the business school on general. Please help me in selecting my college.
Thanks very much for all the wonderful posts. I have been a silent observer here. This website has the best resources.
Cheers
