Hello MCB... Thanks for giving direction to thousands of working professionals like me. Your videos and blogs had helped me alot for doing introspection. You are a true gem.. thanks for getting back our future on track... Wish you luck & success.I am a staunch believer that you will be the best educational consultant in world ( I know you gonna be at that position very soon)😊✌️..
I have a bachelors degree from a good danish university and my grades are pretty standard (I did however get the highest grade in my bachelor repport where i wrote about the theory of 0 to 1). HoweverI have also started a software company during my education. We have received appr. $45.000 in soft funding and will launch our version 1.0 within a month. Our goal (we are a team of 5 developers) is to hit $100K in revenue this year and at least $500K in the year after that. How would you estimate my chances of getting accepted at Stanford if we hit that goal? I still find it really difficult to gauge the competition.
Elite schools like Stanford don't base their decisions on a single data point. Sure, it helps if you can achieve your growth targets, but also figure out the overall application positioning. Try to show them multiple spikes in different areas, if you can. How you put it all together in the essays will be crucial to stand out from the applicant pool of other entrepreneurs who may have higher revenues to show.
Hi I am preparing for GMAT and surely will be looking for admission in Harvard, lbs or Stanford. I have a work ex of 3 yr+ in the field of Accounting, taxation, auditing and consultancy. I also have 3 certificate of courses based on leadership, management and finance. My undergraduate score is not so good with 43% and my senior secondary school score is 83%. With this experience can I be a part of harvard, lbs or Stanford. Do let me know your views.
The graduation score seems quite low. Do you have a rationale for it? If so, you'll need to justify it in your applications. Here's what else you can do: www.mbacrystalball.com/blog/2015/04/13/managing-low-academic-grades-gpa-mba-applications/
Work experience is also a little on the lower side. You'll have to bring out the richness of what you've done in those years, if you decide to apply this year.

Hi Sameer, Thanks for sharing the much needed info on individual B-schools. Just a question. If a person has a degree, will a diploma add something to the overall GMAT profile for Ivy league Bschools?
We've shared a timeline here, that you can use for reference: ruclips.net/video/UntpEMkyF0k/видео.html Other than that, if you're aiming for competitive programs, think about how you can use the remaining time to strengthen your profile. See if our profile builder looks interesting: www.mbacrystalball.com/profile-building/
Dear Team On visiting websites of bschools shortlisted by me I understand that listed deadline dates for application submissions is in 2020-21. Whereas the course commencement year is shown as 2023. Please clarify even if I get through the interview process when will my actual classes commence. My question is wholly pointed towards overseas B schools and not Indian ones. Please clarify..
Classes usually start in the subsequent year after admissions are completed. When bscools says 'Class of 2023' they're referring to the graduation year. Check the website for the exact wording.
I was more interested in the stats regarding the MSx program at Stanford. I'm considering it and was hoping for some insight on it. Could you help with that?
@@MBACrystalBall sir.i want to apply insead in September 2021class.currently my experience is 3 years.and it would be 4years experience in 2021.how many years of experience there consider me as 4 years or 3 years?
Hi sameer,it's always been good listening you.I am a chartered accountant and currently preparing for cfa level 3...So should i apply for ivy league?...Also i have undergone my industrial training at deloitte for 2.5 years
Hi Geeta, we've covered some perspectives on how most bschools look at CA articleships. See if this helps. www.mbacrystalball.com/blog/2014/02/02/chartered-accountant-ca-articleship-experience/
I will complete my Chartered Accountancy Course this year. Should I gain few years of work experience before applying for MBA in Harvard and Stanford? Or is it possible to get in without work experience?
Yes, it would be a good idea to work for a few years and build your profile first, before thinking of an international MBA. We don't recommend going for it without work experience.
The UK is one of the countries that accept undergraduate students without work experience, GMAT, or any other competitive exams. There are universities such as Oxford Brookes University, Nottingham Trent University, manchester metropolitan university, etc, are such universities:- A good option to pursue masters? is it just a waste of money? will it hold any value will you enter the corporate world for jobs?
As a general rule, the easier a program makes it for students to enroll, the lower it's market value. Best to stick to reputed and selective programs. Be patient, and build your profile first.
Unknown college, relatively basic/poor college grades, GMAT score of 740, started a business focused on sustainable social impact (Started out with 4 employees and 0 partners. After 2 years, we're now at 35 employees and 2000 partners), 33 years old, Asian. Will Stanford even consider my profile?
The numbers sound pretty intriguing, and we're sure you'd be able to weave a good story around it. The big concern as you might already know, is the age bit. While that doesn't knock you out of the race, it still puts you in a statistically tight position. If it's a dream school for you, go ahead and put in your best. But make sure, you also spread the net wider, where you don't deviate substantially from the average class profile. There are many programs that could give you similar post MBA opportunities, if not the same. Send us an email if you're looking for some professional help. We've helped many (including statistical outliers) break the glass ceiling.
Will a private undergraduation degree be taken into consideration in top B-schools? Like..I have done my undergraduation from IGNOU private. Kindly clarify.🙏🙏
People tend to use the term 'ivy league' quite loosely, often as a synonym for 'elite'. Here's what it really means: www.mbacrystalball.com/blog/2016/11/16/ivy-league-universities/

So far , I have low scores 5 cgpa in Sem 1 and 2, and a backlogs I will be clearing. I am sure I can score 90% in my final year.( I was suffering because medical reasons, all clear now😇). I want to pursue an MBA in H.R from California state university, L.A. I have scored 700 in mock GMAT test. How are my chances?
You'll have to explain the reason for the backlogs in your application, and also back it up with some good professional experience. Don't simply rely on your GMAT score.
Q1. Low 12th and low gpa but good GMAT can I get into top schools Q2. And how mush time GMAT preparation is taking time Q3. What is total amount is required to GMAT preparation and applying to top schools Q4. What is final year student should do
1. High GMAT helps, but doesn't guarantee anything. 2. Can range from 3-6 months for many. 3. Depends on what resources you use. Books are cheaper than courses/classes. 4. Work for a few years first, and then think about GMAT programs.
sir ELON MUSK is right about MBA programs and top MBA school ?He is very negativite?Earlier I wanted to go for MBA now iam confused and in dilema? Elon Musk has made clear his utter disregard for MBA education. "I wouldn't recommend an MBA," the super entrepreneur once told an interviewer. "An MBA is a bad idea. It teaches people all sorts of wrong things. They don't teach people to think in MBA schools. And the top MBA schools are the worst." please explain sir .
Different folks have different opinions about everything in life. It's up to you to decide what you feel about it rather than getting carried away by what others think.
Hi I am Canadian Citizen but was born in India. I did my Masters in Engineering from one of the top universities in Canada. I am planning for MBA. So from your videos i saw that the competition amongst Indians is steep because of diversity requirements of university. Does being a Canadian citizen(born in India) put me at advantage just on diversity front compared to Indian applying with similar profile as me?
Nationality wise, you will be considered a Canadian. No confusion there. But for elite programs, you can't rely on that one (mostly technical as opposed to natural) factor to claim diversity points. Make sure you focus on all the other aspects of your application too.
MiM degrees are more popular in Europe than in any other part of the world. If you're looking for other countries, you'd be better off getting a regular mainstream MBA.
Sir, I am a bcs final year student and I want to perceive MBA after my graduation. But I have always been wanting to get a job abroad. Is MIB more beneficial or MBA? Also is it possible to do MIB after an MBA?
@@hyperscar2496 Sir, I plan to study MBA in india itself. And after gaining work experience of 4 to 5 years I'd like to get a job abroad. Hence, the question. So, conclusion the MBA is more beneficial right??
@@nehachandore7499 i am also a final year grad student who wants to work abroad so i will tell you what i have found out based on my research but it is just my opinion so make sure you do your research too. See in India the only good MBA is from the IIMs or few other colleges like ISB. So first your will have to work super hard to get into these colleges then you will have to work and then you will apply for a work visa and hopefully you will get one and will be able to work abroad However consider this, you do MIM from a European country, say france then you will get one year time to search for a job in france and obviously you will get a job in 12 months if you have done you MIM from a reputable college like HEC paris or Insead, then you can easily change your status from a student to a working professional and you will get your work visa and after 4-5 years you will get your PR and then citizenship. Since you would have done your MIM from a European country it will become easy for you to find job in the continent. If you are ready to work so hard to get into IIMs why not instead work hard to get into HEC paris, best wishes ☺️.
@@hyperscar2496Firstly, thanks a lot!! See it's just that getting into IIM's is much easier than getting into a reputable college abroad. As per my research we need to have great qualifications not only in terms of marks but also extracurricular activities. And I lack in them making so my weak point. Whereas IIM's are much easier as all you need to do is crack the CAT exam and the interview after.
@@nehachandore7499 @Neha Chandore yeah i agree getting into a reputable college abroad for MBA is definitely much difficult then getting into iim. But you should check the Maste in Management program, MBA crystal ball has an Excellent video on it and it is easier to get into an MIM programme than a MBA. And earlier CAT was the most important aspect for IIM admission but they only pay 25% or even less value to it and they focus much more on academic background which i lack(ba background with just 60%), european colleges will also look at academic background for MIM but i can make up for it by scoring great marks on GMAT and by writing great essays(something i consider myself good at) but studying at IIM has it's own perks like staying closer to family and you won't have to do any visa paperwork while studying abroad is just a life changing experience in itself something that i am eagerly looking up to, btw Best of luck for your CAT prepration.

Sir, I'm searching for jobs in marketing & sales field. But, incase I'm not able to get job in a reputed organization. If I'll work for two years in a start-up, it will be considered as a experience or not. Basically my plan is I'll do mba in mostly reputed B-schools. My doubt is if they will consider this start-up experience as a work experience or not?
Hi Pavan, yes the startup experience will be considered. But it would also depend on the role you have there and the kind of impact you can make in those 2 roles. Do you have clarity on those questions?

Sir I am a 1st year student. I am pursuing BBA strategic finance from st Joseph's college Bangalore. I want to work in the field of finance preferably investment banking . I am pretty confused if I should go for an MBA in finance after my graduation or should I go for courses like CA , CFA , CPA etc. I have read on quora that these qualifications like CA , CFA , CPA etc don't have much value in India and at the same time I have also read that an MBA only from top 10 and 20 bschools are worth it and also that the MBA entrance examinations are highly dominated by engineers . Sir I am very confused. please help me out in solving this dilemma.
A reputed MBA degree surely has more impact than part-time certifications. With the right preparation, you should be able to tackle the entrance exams.
@@rishisawargaonkar3379 One example would be someone who launched a multi-million dollar startup while being a student, or invented something that has a huge social impact.

@@anvayawalgaonkar4119 We've got videos on several other top bschools too. ruclips.net/video/iKJcSZf2zZM/видео.html The data science covered in MBA programs is not the same as in an MS program.
By design, the admissions process filters applicants based on their strengths in different areas, as we've explained in the video. If your grades haven't been good, you'll need to give them other (very strong) reasons to consider your application.
10th and 12th grades don't matter for international MBA programs. Focus on building your professional profile, get a high GMAT score and put in a good application when you are ready.
Hi I graduated from one of the IITs in the year 2017 and had been preparing for UPSC Civil Services since then. I reached the final interview stage of CSE 2019, the result for which came out in August 2020, but could not clear that stage. I recently turned 26 and given the uncertainty in civil services, I am exploring my options for an MBA from abroad. Can you please tell me the chances I have in some good B schools, given my lack of professional experience. Also, is there any other professional course I can pursue from a good foreign school in the field of management other than MBA, given my lack of professional experience.
Since you've already lost 3 years pursuing a goal, why not try to hunt for a job and try to catch up on all those skills and experience which your peers have? Won't be a good idea to go for another degree when you haven't utilised the IIT degree that you already have.
Sir, I worked in a startup for about an year in the field of civil engineering until it was shut down due to financial problems created by Covid19. And currently, the economic situation is grim so it is really difficult to get a quality job, that too in civil engineering. That is also one of the reasons I was thinking of moving forward in the field of management.
You could check out MiM or MEM degrees, we have videos on both. But keep in mind that another degree won't wipe out the career gap. The question may still come up in interviews after completing the new course.
@@shahanshah8283 It would be too early to think about an MBA. All good programs expect several years of work experience. Focus on doing well in your acads and then getting a good job.
I'm a law student currently Studying in one of the top 7 National Law Schools in India. I'm kind-of interested in the intersection of buisness+law. Do Top global business schools accept applications of people with legal background? Also, what should my application look like to get into HBS, GBS, WHARTON, KELLOG, etc.
The answer to the first query is straightforward - yes, they do accept applicants with a legal background. The second one is a more complex and time-consuming discussion, as it depends on what you've done, what you want to do and how you connect all the different dots together in an impactful manner.
Our focus is primarily on management related courses. We don't have much insight into the medical space to create a video. But we do have some content on our website on medical schools. www.mbacrystalball.com/medical-schools/

@@MBACrystalBall I'm equally good at both science and commerce. But some people say that MBA after engineering is of great value and will fetch you more money as you'll have the knowledge of both management and engineering. So, can you please help me with it.Hope you do the needful.
Statistically, the maximum MBA applicants are engineers. But many of them are also going for it because they want to get away from their engineering jobs. So be careful not to get swayed by what others say.
@@MBACrystalBall Is there some significant difference between the pays of engineering MBA graduates or MBA graduates from commerce stream? Comparitively, which of these two has a higher value in this world? What do you suggest regarding the stream I should now opt for ?
Tough to generalise, as it depends on the company and role you'd be in. We don't focus on undergrad admissions. Try to find a mentor (relative, teacher etc) who can help.

I want to run my own business venture and totally not interested in being a salaried employee. So i should go for an MBA from top university or is it not worth doing MBA if i want to do my own business just after graduating from one of the top 20 MBA colleges in India.
That article was soo helpful, thank you. But still I’m not clear that doing an MBA from one of the top B-schools will help me with my business/startup. Is it worth spending that much of money if the goal is just to start a Company?
For matters related to eligibility, rather than relying on a 3rd party's opinion, it's best to check directly with your target universities, as the policies tend to vary quite a bit and evolve over the years.
Hi Sameer I need some help regarding the career and job opportunities. I am in 3rd year of mechanical engineering in India. I have just lost all of my interest in engineering and I have been learning about finance and stock market from quite some time. I know I did a big mistake in my life and should not have pursue engineering at first place. But I want to try to make things better if I can switch my career from engineering to finance field. Would you help me in deciding what my next steps should be in order to execute this. Would you suggest going for masters in finance or pg diploma in Canada after my graduation if I do not want to go for MBA. Will I be in disadvantage during placement period that I do not have my majors in finance field but masters. Any help to overcome this problem will be very kind of you.
Before you take any decision, think about what would happen if you realised during the finance course that it doesn't interest you. If it's happened once, it can happen again. And a second degree that doesn't help would be the worst thing to take up. An alternative is to aim for fresher level finance jobs to learn how the field operates, and then decide if another degree makes sense.
Doing a btech from a normal college and doing mtech from colleges like nit or iit. Will it increase my chance of getting into Stanford or Harvard or Wharton
Adcoms are aware of the difference between BTech from IIT vs MTech. So don't chase additional degrees. Better to focus on getting better experience insteads.
Hi Sameer, could you suggest whether it is good time to plan for MBA with 12 years of experience in IT. I have good achievements in academics. I tried for multiple sources to understand is it work to go for regular 1 year MBA and couldn't get much help in this regard. Thanks.
The risks go up after a certain age & experience threshold. But interestingly, we're seeing many more 30+ guys taking the plunge in recent years.

All top MBA programs are designed keeping global businesses in mind. So there's no need for a specific specialisation in that discipline. We've got a video on Masters in International Business that you can check out.
@@MBACrystalBall Thankyou One doubt- i am intersted in international business,so do i have to go for specializaion or General mba is suitable for international business?
Not sure we understand your point of view. There's no quota in international MBA admissions. All elite programs draw an international student mix, and the program includes case studies from international businesses.
A very helpful video... It would be great if you make a video on mba in Japan... It would be very helpful.... A big thankyou for helping out the mba aspirants to choose between the top b-schools...

Japan is still not a popular destination for international MBA students. We published this article on MBA in Japan: www.mbacrystalball.com/blog/2017/06/07/mba-in-japan-reclaiming-respect/
We don't focus on IIMs. For international MBA admissions, 10th/12th marks are not important. Your graduation marks will matter. And your work experience too.

On visiting websites of bschools shortlisted by me I understand that listed deadline dates for application submissions is in 2020-21. Whereas the course commencement year is shown as 2023.
Please clarify even if I get through the interview process when will my actual classes commence.
My question is wholly pointed towards overseas B schools and not Indian ones.
Please clarify..
Classes usually start in the subsequent year after admissions are completed. When bscools says 'Class of 2023' they're referring to the graduation year. Check the website for the exact wording.

I will complete my Chartered Accountancy Course this year. Should I gain few years of work experience before applying for MBA in Harvard and Stanford? Or is it possible to get in without work experience?
Yes, it would be a good idea to work for a few years and build your profile first, before thinking of an international MBA. We don't recommend going for it without work experience.
which is the best university for MBA Finance...that too accept between 600-700 GMAT in Canada and USA
Here are some programs to start the research: www.mbacrystalball.com/blog/2015/11/09/best-mba-in-finance/
The UK is one of the countries that accept undergraduate students without work experience, GMAT, or any other competitive exams. There are universities such as Oxford Brookes University, Nottingham Trent University, manchester metropolitan university, etc, are such universities:-
A good option to pursue masters?
is it just a waste of money?
will it hold any value will you enter the corporate world for jobs?
As a general rule, the easier a program makes it for students to enroll, the lower it's market value. Best to stick to reputed and selective programs. Be patient, and build your profile first.

Will Stanford even consider my profile?
The numbers sound pretty intriguing, and we're sure you'd be able to weave a good story around it. The big concern as you might already know, is the age bit. While that doesn't knock you out of the race, it still puts you in a statistically tight position. If it's a dream school for you, go ahead and put in your best. But make sure, you also spread the net wider, where you don't deviate substantially from the average class profile. There are many programs that could give you similar post MBA opportunities, if not the same. Send us an email if you're looking for some professional help. We've helped many (including statistical outliers) break the glass ceiling.
@@MBACrystalBall Thank you for the kind response. I will shoot an email as to how to go on about competitive MBA opportunities.

What do you mean when you say Stanford not an ivy league. I thought it was.
People tend to use the term 'ivy league' quite loosely, often as a synonym for 'elite'. Here's what it really means: www.mbacrystalball.com/blog/2016/11/16/ivy-league-universities/

What if a doctor (medico) wants to do MBA in Stanford do they need work experience?
Yes. Work experience is generally among the non-negotiables at top bschools, regardless of your undergrad qualifications.
So far , I have low scores 5 cgpa in Sem 1 and 2, and a backlogs I will be clearing. I am sure I can score 90% in my final year.( I was suffering because medical reasons, all clear now😇).

Q2. And how mush time GMAT preparation is taking time
Q3. What is total amount is required to GMAT preparation and applying to top schools
Q4. What is final year student should do
1. High GMAT helps, but doesn't guarantee anything.
2. Can range from 3-6 months for many.
3. Depends on what resources you use. Books are cheaper than courses/classes.
4. Work for a few years first, and then think about GMAT programs.
sir ELON MUSK is right about MBA programs and top MBA school ?He is very negativite?Earlier I wanted to go for MBA now iam confused and in dilema?
Elon Musk has made clear his utter disregard for MBA education. "I wouldn't recommend an MBA," the super entrepreneur once told an interviewer. "An MBA is a bad idea. It teaches people all sorts of wrong things. They don't teach people to think in MBA schools. And the top MBA schools are the worst."
please explain sir .
Everyone has their own opinion. You will have to form your own, rather than getting swayed by what others think.
Sir D8d Elon Musk is right about MBA program ?Please clear my doubt .
Different folks have different opinions about everything in life. It's up to you to decide what you feel about it rather than getting carried away by what others think.
Hi I am Canadian Citizen but was born in India. I did my Masters in Engineering from one of the top universities in Canada. I am planning for MBA. So from your videos i saw that the competition amongst Indians is steep because of diversity requirements of university. Does being a Canadian citizen(born in India) put me at advantage just on diversity front compared to Indian applying with similar profile as me?
Nationality wise, you will be considered a Canadian. No confusion there. But for elite programs, you can't rely on that one (mostly technical as opposed to natural) factor to claim diversity points. Make sure you focus on all the other aspects of your application too.
One small query.. Will an MiM/MIB be better in Australia than in Europe if we consider the job prospects after graduation too

@@hyperscar2496 Sir, I plan to study MBA in india itself. And after gaining work experience of 4 to 5 years I'd like to get a job abroad. Hence, the question. So, conclusion the MBA is more beneficial right??
@@nehachandore7499 i am also a final year grad student who wants to work abroad so i will tell you what i have found out based on my research but it is just my opinion so make sure you do your research too. See in India the only good MBA is from the IIMs or few other colleges like ISB. So first your will have to work super hard to get into these colleges then you will have to work and then you will apply for a work visa and hopefully you will get one and will be able to work abroad However consider this, you do MIM from a European country, say france then you will get one year time to search for a job in france and obviously you will get a job in 12 months if you have done you MIM from a reputable college like HEC paris or Insead, then you can easily change your status from a student to a working professional and you will get your work visa and after 4-5 years you will get your PR and then citizenship. Since you would have done your MIM from a European country it will become easy for you to find job in the continent. If you are ready to work so hard to get into IIMs why not instead work hard to get into HEC paris, best wishes ☺️.
@@hyperscar2496Firstly, thanks a lot!! See it's just that getting into IIM's is much easier than getting into a reputable college abroad. As per my research we need to have great qualifications not only in terms of marks but also extracurricular activities. And I lack in them making so my weak point. Whereas IIM's are much easier as all you need to do is crack the CAT exam and the interview after.
@@nehachandore7499 @Neha Chandore yeah i agree getting into a reputable college abroad for MBA is definitely much difficult then getting into iim. But you should check the Maste in Management program, MBA crystal ball has an Excellent video on it and it is easier to get into an MIM programme than a MBA. And earlier CAT was the most important aspect for IIM admission but they only pay 25% or even less value to it and they focus much more on academic background which i lack(ba background with just 60%), european colleges will also look at academic background for MIM but i can make up for it by scoring great marks on GMAT and by writing great essays(something i consider myself good at) but studying at IIM has it's own perks like staying closer to family and you won't have to do any visa paperwork while studying abroad is just a life changing experience in itself something that i am eagerly looking up to, btw Best of luck for your CAT prepration.

Hi
I graduated from one of the IITs in the year 2017 and had been preparing for UPSC Civil Services since then. I reached the final interview stage of CSE 2019, the result for which came out in August 2020, but could not clear that stage.
I recently turned 26 and given the uncertainty in civil services, I am exploring my options for an MBA from abroad. Can you please tell me the chances I have in some good B schools, given my lack of professional experience.
Also, is there any other professional course I can pursue from a good foreign school in the field of management other than MBA, given my lack of professional experience.
Since you've already lost 3 years pursuing a goal, why not try to hunt for a job and try to catch up on all those skills and experience which your peers have? Won't be a good idea to go for another degree when you haven't utilised the IIT degree that you already have.
Sir, I worked in a startup for about an year in the field of civil engineering until it was shut down due to financial problems created by Covid19. And currently, the economic situation is grim so it is really difficult to get a quality job, that too in civil engineering. That is also one of the reasons I was thinking of moving forward in the field of management.
You could check out MiM or MEM degrees, we have videos on both. But keep in mind that another degree won't wipe out the career gap. The question may still come up in interviews after completing the new course.

I know I did a big mistake in my life and should not have pursue engineering at first place. But I want to try to make things better if I can switch my career from engineering to finance field.

Will I be in disadvantage during placement period that I do not have my majors in finance field but masters.
Any help to overcome this problem will be very kind of you.
Before you take any decision, think about what would happen if you realised during the finance course that it doesn't interest you. If it's happened once, it can happen again. And a second degree that doesn't help would be the worst thing to take up. An alternative is to aim for fresher level finance jobs to learn how the field operates, and then decide if another degree makes sense.

Can you clarify what you mean by international business? And why any top 100 MBA program won't prepare you for it?
@@MBACrystalBall
Thats correct sir
I heard on the google that there is mba in international business for general management quota for students
Not sure we understand your point of view. There's no quota in international MBA admissions. All elite programs draw an international student mix, and the program includes case studies from international businesses.
Can freshers apply to Stanford??
Not a good idea. Better to gain a few years of work experience before you apply, if you're serious about getting in.
A very helpful video... It would be great if you make a video on mba in Japan... It would be very helpful.... A big thankyou for helping out the mba aspirants to choose between the top b-schools... So can you make a video on mba in Japan as I am always fascinated by the country's geography, culture and people
Japan is still not a popular destination for international MBA students. We published this article on MBA in Japan: www.mbacrystalball.com/blog/2017/06/07/mba-in-japan-reclaiming-respect/
Doesn't Stanford accept IELTS?
Stanford GSB accepts TOEFL, IELTS & PTE. Read more here: www.gsb.stanford.edu/programs/mba/admission/application/test-scores/english-language-proficiency
Sir now im in 12th std and i haven't prepared well enough for iit or nit will it cause a problem during admissions at iim or at abroad?
Or can i increase my chances by working in many and big projects in pvt college?
Also i have 90 percent in 10th and 65 percent in 12th will i be able to get a call from iim a,b,c ?
We don't focus on IIMs. For international MBA admissions, 10th/12th marks are not important. Your graduation marks will matter. And your work experience too.
@@MBACrystalBall ohh if we don't have iit or nit tag will it mattee?
And if it does how can we change it ? For ex: if we are in any pvt clg are there any particular projects or activities we can do to out rule iit or nit tag for abroad mba admissions?
