MBA specialization & Addmission

[sarath26]

Hello Stacy

I have a 3 yrs bachelor degree in computer science from India, followed by MSc in Software Technology from UK.

Currently i work in Toronto, Canada as IT Manager (2yrs) for a SMB. I have around 5+ yrs of work experience in various roles in IT.

Since all my positions were in IT i was wondering should i continue my specialization for MBA in IT itself like supply- chain or MIS or should i try to expand by taking finance or accounting... please advise

----
My 2nd question is i have difficulty studying for GMAT, i tried once and got a 390 in gmat which isnt good.

I have been trying hard to study but i find it very difficult to grasp GMAT techniques, this has put me in dilemma.

The university i am trying to apply if University of Toronto, one of the best in Canada and in around the world...

If i go ahead with 390 do i have any hope, with some personal/financial constraints i am unable to take a private tuition to study GMAT

Your help is greatly appreciated

Hi sarath26,

When you are in school you'll be able to take a variety of classes in all subjects to learn about areas like finance and accounting. If it's important to your career path to specialize in IT, you can still do that while learning about other subjects.

I think you should take the GMAT again. I would suggest a course like Manhattan GMAT, but if you can't afford it you may benefit from going through a book of practice tests and studying on your own.

Good luck!
