Hi,

I have a 3 yr old moderately successful start-up in my profile

Confident of making it to a top university,Im planning to pursue my MBA With Entrepreneurship as a major course.Then after I would like to take up a job for a period.

My question is, does my course in E'ship hurt my chances during placements/recruting as the recruiters might assume I might not be with them for long, or the company be less trustful in the ways I be given opportunities once recruited ?

Not at all. First of all because your "Specialization" is something you may keep to yourself if you wish. Far more important is the institute you have graduated from and the skills you have accumulated both at your MBA and prior to it.

Thanks Jon

So in my present situation,is it a wise thing to select colleges that are good in General Mgmt or operations and strategy(My main areas of interest next to E'Ship) and apply to them? And then after,on admit, I will do an E'ship course ALSO, but i choose that it will not reflect on my profile.

Is it a correct thing to do ?

Well, the majority of top Bschool programs are strong in general management (although its true that a few have a finance focus). I would say it depends on your goals. What would you like to do after you graduate? And in the long-term?

From what you have written, honestly any school that you has a good program would be good for you, so you should think about which schools fit you personally in terms of location, program, prestige, teaching methodologies, etc.

"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."
