Hello everyone,

I will be done with me bachelors in Business Administration (majors in IB) frm one of the top 5 b schools in India for BBA.
My CGPA is 3.5/4.0
gt decent 90 % in my (XII) high school with 98 in accounts's and business studies.
will give me gmat on 3rd jan 11
hv done two small internships
1. in a huge export firm
2. in an ngo
have won a few business competitions at college and inter college ( intern'l ) level!

Now my question is...
1. even if I manage to get a good gmat score that is >680..should I apply for B schools offering pre experience masters...like ESCP, LBS, HEC! or shud I gain one or two years of post bachelor's we and then apply for masters so that I have more probability of getting a job in france or uk after my ms!??...
2. programmes like Mim LBS..require less than one year of "post graduation" w-e...so does that mean with more that one year of post bachelors we one can still apply fr these programs?

Thanks in advance!

Dear nitesh_2110,

Whether or not to go straight into a master's program depends on your career goals and if you feel you are ready. For the career you plan to pursue, what is the typical path? do you feel you are ready to pursue graduate level work or would you benefit from gaining some work experience first? As for the experience requirement for the programs, the requirement is the minimum amount of experience necessary; there is rarely a maximum amount, so one can apply with more experience than the required minimum.

Good luck,
Lisa
