Hi switchfoot,

Thanks for posting. Regarding the years of work experience you have, most MBA programs like to see at least 2 years of work experience.

For your candidacy, I recommend you read this case study of an Indian engineer who was accepted into a top MBA program. It should provide some insight into your application: https://www.stacyblackman.com/comprehens ... ies/case2/

We also provide free 30 minute consultations here: https://www.stacyblackman.com/contact/
