The course I want to get into in all of the schools mentioned is Msc Marketing Management because I don't have much work experience and my courses in college weren't entirely business-specific. Any thoughts on my profile? Do you think I have a good change at getting into those schools? Any other school suggestions for me? Thanks so much!

Dear baume7,

I think your school list is appropriate for your profile. Be sure to submit a strong set of essays conveying your rationale for the MS degree as how compelling your rationale is can be a differentiator for you.

Good luck,
Lisa
