Hi

My name is Sitanshu. I am twenty three years old and currently involved in our family trade.I am from Mumbai and stay in Hong Kong for the business.I am looking to hone my skills as an entrepreneur and so thought that doing MBA would be a nice idea. I gave my GMAT and got 660 and 5.5 I have two years full time work experience and have been a first class student in school as well as college. Anybody who can give me an idea regarding my chances, post.

Hey ...

I am a B.Tech Chemical Grad, with a GPA of (9.0/10) from VIT, Vellore(good univ but not that great)
At School - got a good percentage but no extraordinary perfomance.
Was involved in a lot of sports and games at school level but nothing at college.
Right now have an exp of 2 yrs in IT.

Please let me know what are my chances for ISB, if this profile gives a total shut down in the first go ... or please let me know if there is something i can work towards it starting now.. like certifications in certain courses etc etc offered outside.

Hi Swirl ;

may be u r very new to the site and everything !!
Ur GPA is good ... Now it's lot more complicated than simple yes or no !!

Ur GMAT score , anything above 680 will be sufficient.. the more the better !!

Ur work expericne.. ur learning and noteworthy contributions at work !!! evryone will have , just think abt them and sort them ... becoz many a times we never recognize our contribution.. however small still significant !!!

Ur personal growth : show ur growth other than work, ....

And finally ur Interview...

People with 650 score have made it to Harvard... so there is no absolute mesuring system...
on a whole u need to impress them ...
THINK abt them..

Stright ans to u r question : nobody can tell unless u try ... but there are few things mentioned above which u can try !!!

Hey thanks Vamsi,
true,im new to this site,,, will catch up soon.
y i was asking these ques were because i was really confused abt the direction i need to take.
I wanted to give GMAT and check out my chances, but before that i wanted to make sure i wont be stuck in a puddle after writing the exam due to monetary reasons. As the MBA education abroad costs so much and people say repaying the loan amt is very difficult.(am not talkin abt top univs here, as i know the top ones cost too much).
ISB is obviously the only indian institute which accepts GMAT, and definitely a great one too, and i heard its entrants need killer profiles to make it through. So if i can get started on working towards it what do i need to do ??
Are there any other certifications etc that i can obtain to direct my line , as u can see they ll probably ask me y i did chemical and worked in IT and then now want an MBA.

Yes there will always be a question as to why chemical... IT ( but many Mbas are career switchers )...
Top MBA's are very costly but normally its not the toughest to repay them ... but yeah it depends a lot on ur personal choices....

QApart from ISB , SP Jain also accepts GMAT for 1 yr mba...

ISB is a great school but there isnt anything like killer profiles !!
To be precisee .. they are competitive profiles...

There are many certifications u can try for.. to show that u are a serious learner !!
for ex in IT sector : quality, .net, Microsoft, sun cerifications.. etc...

If u r really looking for ward to do mba get involved in extra curricular activites and contribute towards them...

if u need any other clarifications feel free to pm or call me 9885213625

What is point in doing a .net or microsoft certification to show them i am interrested in MBA? And anyways i work in Mainframes and I have done DB2 certifications, I was asking about those in finance streams which i can add to my profile.

How many years do u think we ll need to work abroad to repay the loan?
