Experience evaluation

by neha shekhawat » Wed Feb 01, 2017 2:15 pm
I am planning to give GMAT in next few months but I am really very worried if my work experience will be considered worthy or not.I have more 4 years of experience of teaching in a B school of a Indian Private University as an Assistant Professor.So I am concerned if universities in USA consider teaching experience as valid experience.
My educational qualification is:
1: Bachelors in Mathematics (3 years degree from Delhi university)
2: Masters of finance and control (2 years from Amity university)

I have invested around 3 months for preparing GMAT now and I am really looking forward to give this exam but this thought keep on moving in my mind and I am afraid that this is going to affect my performance.
Please help

Hi Neha,
I do not see a reason why would any US B-School not consider your work experience. However, you should have a proper strategy aligned with your application package. Because MBA is a professional degree and changing careers from teaching to lets say consulting should be properly explained.
I hope you understand my point.
Best of luck for your GMAT and MBA journey. Let me know if I can help.
Cheers.

Well, it would definitely count as work experience but it would raise some questions of course. Why are you changing to a different field? How will an MBA help you do that? How will what you have done so far help you moving forward? Etc.

Additionally, I am not sure all US schools would be equally impressed by such experience so it is also about demonstrating fit with the schools you apply to of course.
