Oxford 2008 Application and Beyond

[stonewar]

Me too got Oxford interview. My profile is 5 years/700/ lots of extracurricular. 5 year exp in IT. I couldnt understand how to go about with setting up telephone interview?

[stonewar]

Sorry guy!! I was too sleepy so didnt read the message clearly. It clearly states that I should reply back.

I read somewhere in PG that loans are a problem for Said....u need to shell out from ur pocket

Does any one has any idea if the news is true??

[ajaymba06]

Probably true.

I got my telephonic interview confirmed for 4th Dec. They have asked to send across original marksheets. that is not possible for me . As it is a uphill task to get duplicates issues if i loose originals.

I have asked if i can send across certified copies in sealed envelop.

Thanks
Ajay

Hi

I am new to this forum and to pagalguy for that matter ..........

have a few questions .........

How does one compare an Oxford or a Cambridge with say an INSEAD ......pros , cons etc ..

Hw much weightage is given to one's GMAT score , i know that most schools refer to the GMAT score as just one criterion but still ........

I am 26 / M / Non IT (for the first time in my life i think that this might be an advantage for me) ......

I already have a prior MBA from a top Indian school .......

Will have around 42 months of work ex by the time i start wid my MBA (36 months Intl Exp) ........

Work for a trading company that primarily deals with agricultural commodities .............

Have worked in more than 7 countries (mostly in Africa and South America) .....

Manage a work force of 85 employees and a business worth $50 Million......

Good Acads (not spectacular) - 10th standard - 80% , 12th standard - 87% , B.com (hons) (Delhi University) - 61% , MBA - 7.5 / 9 (GPA) ............

Good extra co ( I have been an avid quizzer , have learnt jazz dance fr over 3 yrs and done professional theatre for over 3 years) .....

Now , the weakest link in my profile , my GMAT score - 660

Hw much is the low score going to impact my chances ?? .....

I am not averse to taking the stupid exam again if need be........

Plz advise ????????????????? Should i go ahead wid the apps .........
