I am law graduate (Bachelor of Arts LLB (B.A.LLB hons.)) from not a very well known university in India with graduation percentage 69%. I want to pursue MBA from US. I am currently working (3 months experience) in a website based startup(www.caclubindia.com, website has 1.3+ million users) as assistant editor and handling roles related to MBA. I want to know that whether my experience in this startup is better for my MBA application or working in a law firm as an associate is better and how many years of experience should I have before I start applying to universities? what gre or gmat score wold i need to get into top 50 universities?
Please help!

Hi there,

It's most common to work for 4-6 years before starting the MBA, so applying when you have 3-5 years of experience. In terms of what path -- the best thing is to focus on what you think will most help you with your future, post-MBA career goals... and that will come across best to the admissions committee too as you explain the choices you made. As for test scores, you can view the average scores at top Business Schools on the US News & World Report ranking; on Businessweek.com profiles, and/or on the school websites. For top 10 schools the averages are around 700-730 (GMAT), fyi.

Good luck!

"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."
