Lesser Work experience! Suggest schools

Launched April 26, 2006

I'm a female Electronic Design Engineer from India working for one of the top Fortune Companies. I will be having 18 months or work ex at the time of application (R2) and 26 at the time of matriculation.

I know this work ex is not very competative. But Im very sure, I want to go for B school now.

I have leadership experience from college as General Seceratary.
At work, I have a lot of International exposure and varied experience.
I'm also in a process to lead a Social Drive project in my City under a NGO.
Good Acads and lot of extra curricular activities both during college and work.

With this background, Which B Schools do you think will be good for me to apply in regards to expect an admit?
I hear few schools take lesser work experience folks. Which are these schools?

I plan to apply to 4 schools : 1 Dream, 2 Realistic and 1 Definite. (Is it fair or should I be applying to more?)

I'm giving 2 months for essays and other documents along with regular office. (after GMAT and before R2 deadlines) Is it fair enough?
Or should I hurry up with GMAT and concentrate more on essays?

Please help me with this.

Dear LunaticAnagha,

Many schools are seeing the average years of work experience trending down closer to 3-4 years, so I don't think you need to focus on schools that have explicitly stated they want younger applicants. At the time of matriculation, you will probably have around two years, so you will be right in the mix with a large number of applicants. I encourage you to identify schools that are a good match for your career goals and where you will have the MBA experience you seek.

Without knowing more about your profile, it is impossible to comment on what schools will be a "definite" or "reach" for you. Your GMAT score will be an important component for this determination, so I would suggest identifying possible schools through your research now and then selecting the ones you will apply to once you know your GMAT score. As for how much time you need to complete the process, that greatly depends on you--how well you write, how much time you need to prepare for the GMAT, how much time you have to spend on your applications outside of work and other obligations, etc. You do not want to rush anything so that you are confident you are submitting the best possible applications.

Best of luck,
Lisa
