Hey Kunal

I had applied last year and got the admit then but could not join due to financial constraints. I reapplied this year with the old application. I had written them a mail around Nv 14 on the same and they repplied back the same day. I was then interviwed on 25 Nov and I got the call on 14th.

The inteview was long this time...lasted for over 45 min. I was inteviewed by Lori garier. It was mostly consentrated on work ex...team work....post mba goals. Do prepare some instances of team work, team problems, from your work ex and other wise as well...

Let me know if u need any further info...

Cheers
Sachin

Hi Guys,

Could you pl let me know whether this college is rated by financial times ? I could not see them
in the top 100 though they claim to be the best outside US?

Hi Guys, I am also interested in Queens MBA but am worried about the finance. How are you guys arranging finance. As Sachin said he didn't join last year because of financial contraint. Does the school have any contract with any bank that provides loan to international students.

Hi Manish,

Queens did not participate in the FT rankings last year so thats why you will not find it there. However they were ranked first outside US by Business Week. I think they scaled up on the B-school rankings after they dropped the "Science and Technology" MBA tag.

Personally, I liked the fact that they really PRACTICE team based learning and have a very student focussed program which is also the result of a small class size....

This is what was mentioned in my admit form about securing loans

"Please note that international applicants are ineligible for the RBC Financial Royal Credit Line. If you require financial assistance, you are strongly advised to secure a student loan in your home country or investigate third-party agencies such as the Paras Education Foundation, International Education Finance Corporation, International Student Loan Program, Sallie Mae/MBA Loans, Global Student Loans, and Stafford and/or PLUS Loans."

Hi Kunal,

Queens looks at the following "filter" criteria

1) Recognized 4 yr undergrad degree
2) Minimum of 2 yrs work ex
3) GMAT score in excess of 600
4) If applicable, an acceptable score on one of the approved English facility tests (TOEFL, IELTS, or MELAB).

I believe you fulfill the above. In case of doubt, you can always mail them and ask your current app status.
