Hello Stacy blackman Admission consulting
i posted following queery in another column also
hope i cld get a professional and pratical advice from here


I am from India ,26 years
I have done MA in economics
I have a lots of gps in education,I wasn’t a good person at all,time waster
But now when I am I am struggling to even find a job
And now I am hoping to start, god willing, with some of my own work

In short its like this- at 17 graduated from school{which is normal here}
For next two years did nothing except time wasting,
19-22 did my BA with so –so grades
22-23 nothing again
ffrustrated,broken love etc
23-25,worked hard,MA economics with cool grdaes
25-26 struggled 2 get a job.
26,posting this question.


My question to u is this that if I apply 2 b school with only 2 years of work experience{almost all my own sork coz i have no other opion left} at the age of 28,will they even consider me for admission???i mean top 15 Bschools,assuming if I score satisfactorily good(according 2 top 10 standard) GMAT score!!???

in short
do i stand any chnace of recovering those waste d years and get back to a great b school???

plz donot give me any false hopes
but are thr any instances of admission of such guys to great b scholls???
i wld appreciate ur help
regards

Dear donnknow,

I would say it is a pretty large hurdle for you to get accepted to a top 15 with no real work experience and no acceptable reason for it. You will need a high GMAT score to be considered by any program as well as some sort of professional work experience. It would also be a good idea for you to come up with a better story as to why you have not worked much beyond the fact you are a "time waster". I would suggest sticking to schools in the 30-50 range assuming you get at least a 680 on your GMAT. If you score below a 680, then you might need to find a solid, regional program that might not be highly ranked.

Best of luck,
Lisa

dear Lisa Anderson
thnx for your kind reply
i would like to say i never meant applying without experience
but my intention is to ask is like ths -

a normal student starts wrking at 23 and at 28 applies 2 to b school
if i start wrking at 26 and applies after 2 3 or even say 5 years,,will this gap between 23-26 will be so bad that no matter what i do in next years nothing cld cover up things !!!???

If you secure about 3 years of professional experience and show career progression during that time, then you will improve your application. However, you will still need to explain the gaps in employment you currently have.

Good luck,
