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

I swear this not my 'clone' (fake id)
But I so much relate to your life.
But surely you've better profile, have done masters & had a girlfriend. Yes I'm serious.

I don't understand what exactly your plans are. Why do you think of MBA, or law? Please help me/us understand your goal, at least short term ones.

Is getting job your prime objective behing opting for MBA? Well nothing wrong in that but I'm just asking you motive.


I would suggest you to learn pagalguy's life. (search for these words on google) He's story is great motivation, it helped me coming out from bad patch.

The top 15 schools will be a stretch without solid work experience. Additionally, you will need a strong GMAT score. It's difficult to fully evaluate your profile based on the information given since you did not include GPA's, extracurricular activities, or any other facts that would differentiate you from the thousands of others who will be applying to schools this Fall. Perhaps you could provide more info.

Best of luck!
