Ask an MBA Admissions Consultant

Hi All,

I have, what I promise would be, one of the wierdest questions you've answered.

I would be applying to a number of b-schools this year(Kellog, Insead, NUS, HKUST). I have around 5 years of workex in I-Banks tech, with half of it in foreign countries(US and Asia). I have a good GMAT(750+), good TOEFL(115), good undergrad grades(top 10% of college) and average extra currics.

Now here's the twist. Sometime this year, I had to leave my job and relocate to India(my home country) from elsewhere due to unavoidable responsibilities at home. Since I didn't want a big gaping hole in my career, I decided to take up an MBA course from one of the top 5 colleges in India alongwith my family responsibilities. Now that everything's stable at home, I want to pursue my lifelong dream of studying from a global MBA school, either in US, Europe or Asia.

However, I'm concerned that leaving my current MBA midway might negatively impact my application. Will it, and if yes, any help on how this can be tackled?

Yours truly,

Are you in an MBA program? This often will preclude you from applying to most schools. Is it just a class?

Yes, I'm in a 2 year full-time course. Is that a big negative? What if I take up employment, as I'm considering leaving this midway mostly?
