Hi..

I am looking closely at this program.
My Profile: B.Tech(1997) ,MBA (1999)--8 years work exp --Curently in Oil -Retail sales,India Fortune 500--No Int'l Exp..
GMAT 710..

The curriculum of the program appears good for me.But the worrying factor is the absence of internship.So I wud know if u can throw light on career prospects for me post MBA.

Hi Sunil,

Programs without an internship are great for applicants who plan to return to the firm they currently work for, or for family business applicants.

For a career switcher especially, it will be a bit tougher to find a full time job without the internship program. However, there may be options such as doing a part time internship while attending school or simply networking effectively.

Good luck!

Hi suithink,

I think it will be more difficult to switch careers without an internship. It is certainly not impossible, but won't be easy.

I think it is best to be honest about your goals and aspirations in your MBA essays.

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."
