Hi,
I am thinking about applying in Jan intake in some Canadian and some US universites?
Are there any Advantages or DisAdvantages.....of starting an MBA course in Jan ?I have heard that placement divisions of colleges try place students in sep intake more and they dont work hard enuf to get the Jan intake students placed ?How true is it?

2 primary disavantages:

(a) Aid is low since there are people who joined in the fall session waiting for those grants. And they have a better chance

(b) Campus is closed for a few months in summer hence no on-campus jobs. This would be within few months of your arrival which makes things tough.

Not too many schools even have a Jan intake. I know Columbia does, but thats a fast track program of 16 months. So no summer internship afaik - which is something to be worried about in case you are a career switcher.

Which school(s) do you have in mind?
