Hi Guys,

I may be too naive in asking this question but still couldn't find the right answer for this.

Guys Please clarify me on this.

Do B-Schools consider the total work experience as the work experience till you join the program or the work experience at the time you actually apply for the school.

I was just confused as there is a substantial difference of 12 months between the two, if you are applying for Round 1 and this difference will have a huge impact on the profiles of young applicants like me.

Guys need your thoughts and inputs.

Thanks and Regards,
-Ritish.

it depends on institute....
it can either be till the time u join the program or institute might set some month before the academic year(for instance some school kept dec 09 as cut of date and their academic year starts in apr 10)

Most bschools want the work experience calculated up to when you would matriculate (i.e., start the program). They usually have clear instructions on this on their application forms.

"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."
