Hey akki, I'm not very familiar with the MIT and the LSE programs, but I can certainly talk about the LBS program. Your academics and exam scores (GMAT, GRE) seem very good and are on par with the median score of candidates applying to LBS. For most of these prestigious schools, IIT is a well-known ...


Hey aman, First up, since you have provided only a gyst of your qualifications, it's hard to comment on the likelihood of getting into the HEC Paris or the LBS MiM programs. Having said that, your academics and GMAT seem solid and yes, your stage acting will be counted as work experience. Most of th...

Hey Robin, If you left your job recently it will not be a problem at all. Just make sure you have an alibi ready if asked about why you left the job, and better yet do some part time job or course to account for the free time you have right now. This will help diversify your profile and give you an ...

Hey Vaishnavi, Since you are looking for programs with no work experience, I'd like to suggest Masters in Management programs. There are some worthy MiM programs to look into such as St.Gallen, HEC Paris, ESSEC, LBS, RSM etc. Some of these programs require a business background, that is, an undergra...

Hey Robin, IE follows a rolling admission process and has no specific deadline. Although the earlier you apply, the better your chances are. Having said that, it's certainly not too late if your profile, application and essays are strong. A higher GMAT score also helps your cause. We understand that...

Hey manchiso, I know the response is late, but we're hoping the answer helps other candidates out there. Although the interview is an important part of the admission process, it is only a way for the schools to ensure that you are who you say you are. Remember, you are already prepared for this. The...

Hey army to civilian, You don't have to worry too much about it. The school understands that typos can be made even after thorough reviews. As long as there aren't too many typos, you should be fine. Schools don't reject good candidates for one typo, they will be more interested in the story you are...
