I'm doing my BCA from a Deemed University in Pune,India. This univ. is one of the oldest univ. in Pune & is accredited by Govt of India.I'm working in Singapore. I will be graduating in July'08.I have 3 years of full time experience. So,are there any schools in US/Europe/Singapore who can consider my application ? The reason I am asking is my experience will be less if it is considered after graduation.

Dear bhushank1:

You will need to confirm with each school, but generally schools that participate in any of the rankings can only count years of work experience post-graduation. While the admission staff will consider your work experience to date and want you to discuss it in your essays/interview, you will be considered as an applicant without work experience if you do not graduate until July 2008 and start a program in 2008.

There are schools that do not require work experience, so you do have options if you want to start your MBA in August/September.

Best of luck!
Lisa

question

by mjjking » Sun Feb 17, 2008 2:43 am

Hi Lisa,
I'm concerned... I have a Bachelor's degree from Italy, and after that I'm about to get - next week - a Laurea Specialistica, which WES equals to a Master's degree. My question is: as I've been working full time for 1+ year now (since I had taken all of my laurea specialistica's exams and I had to take the exams related to them and prepare my final dissertation), will my work experience be counted, as it's post-BA?
thanks!

Dear Rob:

Any professional-level work experience of a full-time nature acquired post-BA will be counted as work experience.

Lisa

"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."
