I am an H1B visa holder currently working in US. I have a total of 7 years of experience out of which 1.5 years is in US. I read a couple of posts where aspirants conducted interviews with current students and alumni of various schools. These posts mentioned that the international students faced problems when it came to placements and that it was a common phenomena in this economic scenario.

Would my working here right now (as an international student) prove beneficial for getting into a school?

Also, right now the finances are not that figured out for the MBA program. Are there other options apart from an MBA program which can be beneficial on a similar level?

I am currently preparing for my GMAT and I need help for deciding what kind of MBA program would be beneficial for me. I am currently in Virginia.

I can speak to some of your questions. There actually was a decrease this past season in international applications, which could work to your advantage in applying. The fact that you have indeed worked in the US could certainly help distinguish you, while not losing the diversity aspect you bring as an immigrant worker. You should check with the financial aid office for your target schools about loans, etc. since there are many difficulties in international students obtaining loans for schools. Your visa status may help there. Good luck.

"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."
