Hi Stacy

I am software engineer with 3+ yrs of experience in IT with a MNC based in India.
I have made a good career progress, with increased responsibilities over the period of time. (I have appreciation letters from my US clients and my employer).
But now I feel the growth is unidirectional. I want to broaden my horizon, gain a broader perspective of business and contribute in a wider spectrum. I want to change my current skill set to role into Finance or International Business. (I am sorry, I have not decided on this one)
For this I am considering MBA as an option from USA.
But thats where I am stuck up with :?. I need guidance for my career change. I would like to know how favorable and responsive would MBA schools would be for considering my profile for their institutions.
What kind of institutions I can target for the class starting in 2010?
Do the industry give chance to the people making a career transitions?
I am yet to take a date for GMAT. My academics are above average with distinction in Matriculation and Sr. Secondary and first class in BE.
I am a active member of red cross society. I am part of a foundation involved in aids awareness in rural India.

Dear Deepankar,

Yes, it is common for business schools to have students looking to make significant career changes. That is what many students are there to accomplish in addition to the education. Your work experience and education are common in the global MBA applicant pool, so you will need to highlight something unique about your background to distinguish yourself. I encourage you to continue doing some research on business school and programs in the US. I think you will find the information out there plentiful and insightful.

Good luck,
Lisa
