Hi
Actually the Visa rules and also effect of unemployment for their citizens and also i have researched a lot because initially i wanted to do my MBA from their only but if you can be able to get in London business school or Insead then it is good to go their otherwise i don't think so one should invest because about cost it is very costly 1 year exec MBA cost around 40-45 Lac there too same as US Europe not at all cheap and living cost is high too.
I am not sure about great lakes and about its repo. in market. if you know then tell me what is the rank worldwide?
thanks for the useful info about canada.
One more thing as its been a month for me i am prep for GMAT.
if you just focus and get atleast 3 hours a day and weekend 7-8 hours .. you can still make it. don't now think about 2013 just atleast try for 2012 because Theory will take around 3 weeks complete. and then you can start working on weak areas for one week.
then start taking full length tests. do take tests full length before ur main exam at least 10 ok.
so that you will get to know how much u are scoring. and first work on accuracy then work on timing because it is very tough to maintain both in real gmat paper.
make schedule like that 1 month theory and enough practice then 15 or 20 days alternate full length test.
and when u book a gmat exam there is the test software in it you will get 2 mock test it is very useful and official so take those two just before around 5 days of your main exam. and thanks for wishing me luck. best of luck to you too.;)
Why is it difficult to find a job post European MBA? Is it because of the recession in Europe or is it generally the case. I actually never thought about MBA in europe but just yesterday somebody told me that Europe has one year mba and it is usually cheaper than US. have always wanted to go to Europe (for visiting though), this seems like a lucrative deal if I can find a nice place to study there. So, I am doing some research on that as well but am not able to understand why is it rated lower than the US.
Actually in most of the Canadian/US schools, the eligibility for exec MBA is to have atleast 8 years work ex out of which atleast 3 years should be at management level. I haven't reached that stage yet. So, exec MBA is not an option for me.
And you are right, you have time on hand. It is better to go to a good school even if you have to try more than once. Hopefully, you will get through this year itself. ISB is definitely a very good choice. Are you going to apply at Great Lakes? It is a new one opened Chennai. I am not sure about the placements but the website etc. have really high opinion of this school.
I will keep that Kaplan point in mind. I was planning my study schedule yesterday and keeping my work in mind, I am not sure if I will be able to put in so much effort for 1.5 months. I am going to try for a few days but if it doesn't works out then I guess I will have to go slow and finish GMAT by december and then apply for 2013 sessions instead of 2012.
Yeah .. you should visit Canada in summer .. winter is not the right time to be here. You can't go out much. Both Canada and US are beautiful, the thing is these places are well maintained. Once you do your MBA, I am sure you will get lot of chances to travel around the world.
