2) What is the minimum exp. required to get international colg.?

3) I have taken a cat coaching so do i need to take coaching again?

4) From where can i get a study material?

@s.jain

I think that you should be able to appear for your gmat..

- If you are looking at US unis then I believe you might need 16 years of education for some colleges, though it depends on the college you are applying to

- Quality experience of around 3 -4 years should place you in good standing

- You gmat score would carry a lot of weight, so take your best shot at that

- You could look up online, u could find some good resources. Also you could also look up the different forums, they might be helpful.

Hope this helps..

Hi guys. I am very much interested to get admitted into a top tier b-school.But I am very much new to this kind of admission process(essays etc). Being an average guy,I wanted to find out how to increase my prospect of getting into top b-schools.Of course getting a high score is obvious,but that is understood by me. I am not clear about all other criteria.

I am planning to give GMAT this July.

My profile is B.Tech -74.6%

12th-97%

10th-90.33%

I've been working with TCS for the past 2.5 years and this is my first job.

- Good Gmat score

- Qualitative work exp - (progression in your work )

- Awards/ recognition's in your work/ outside

- Alignment of the mission of the school with your goal, which should reflect in your essays

Hi guys, I am new to this forum & came here looking for guidance in relation to the GMAT/MBA Abroad topic.

My Profile:-

Xth - 83% XII - 78%

Did my Engg in Comp Sc from a state univ with 70% marks.

Decent extra curriculars in college.

Work ex - Involved in my family business for last 4 years.

But now I wanted to change my career path by joining a top B-School & migrating to finance field(passion/interest being the reason). Just wanted to know what are my chances of getting into a top B School & whether it is possible to change my field to finance even though I don't have much exp in that sector? I have completed 2 levels of CFA too a few years back keeping in mind I wanted to change my field in the future so it might help.

Any kind of help would be highly appreciated.

Lot would depend on how well you perform in your GMAT. Also the kind of experience that you have got while working in your family business and how you make admissions see it would help you.
Its good that you have chosen finance and you must have your reasons and would be passionate about it. Making admissions see it in your whole application would help. Your CFA would complement not only in your MBA application but also in your job prospects. So just narrow down on the right college and right university for urself and you should be all set...

Hey Guys, just wanted to give you guys a few tips about the gmat score and how it is looked at by the admissions 1. Try to have a high Gmat score, try to keep it atleast above 660 and preferably above 680. This not only gives you an edge in MBA admissions but would also help you while you apply for jobs to top firms (yes, you have to fill in your gmat score, while applying to some top companies), 2. Don't overdo your application and don't bluff too much (we are able to see it), be honest about yourself 3. Its important to make your application standout from the rest, so think about that before hand and do things which you are passionate about, you would enjoy that and overtime you would have enough firepower to get through 4. Journey to an MBA is a long one, make it enjoyable and keep developing yourself along the way (This would help you always in life) 5. Remember GMAT is not the only thing, of course one of the important ones, but your whole application carries weight. These are just the basics, we are opening up a thread 'Demystifying MBA and the right way to get in to the right school', keep watching that and let us know your comments. - Admissions- Lally School Of Management & Technology

@abhinav6190

Hi guys,I will be appearing for GMAT in about 3 months time. I am preparing for it but i dont know how to proceed for admissions or which all colleges should i apply for.???.... What all things are required other than my GMAT score card at the time of filling the form....kindly guide...Abhinav Phirani.

"Apply for" It is hard to believe that it has been 3 months since you are preparing for GMAT!

Anyways the question on which universities to apply 'to' is very open ended and elaborate. I refrain from answering such questions since it is more of a personal decision and also because counselors make a living out of this. As for your second question, besides your GMAT scores, you will need academic transcripts, letter of recommendations, a number of essays, a CV and a few other things

Before you pose another blatant question I suggest you open admissions page of any random university program. It will answer all your questions. Research yourself first.

@TheBigBang yes ur r right

@abhinavNUS Hi Abhinav. I am quite new to GMAT, but I have guessed the answer as '4'. Is it correct?

@abhinavNUS guys please help me out with the above question and also share the explanation

The officials in Town X have suggested that the proceeds from the recent benefit concert be used to repave the streets in the downtown area. When this decision is voted upon in the fall, a majority of the town's citizens are expected to approve this allocation of funds. After all, according to a recent survey, most citizens are in favor of improvements that will benefit local merchants.
Which of the following choices is NOT an assumption that is being made by the author?
1)Well-paved streets near local merchants benefit their businesses.
2)The citizens do not feel that the money is better spent on other town improvements.
3)Local merchants have stores in the downtown area.
4)Streets in highly traveled areas need to be repaved periodically.
5)The people recently surveyed accurately represent the opinions of those who will vote on the repaving decision.

This thread is not technically dead - but yes we need a 2012-13 thread perhaps :)

@Neo2000 Is the above post ad ?

Guys, I attempted the first GMAT prep test yesterday. I started with AWA , then followed with IR before the other two ( basically attempted the starting 2 sections as well, which many people neglect when they do at home). I have scored a miserable 580. Quant - 47 and Verbal - 23. Now, what I found is that the test had 17 SCs, 11 CRs and 13 questions on passages. Is this how the questions are distributed in actual exam as well. 17 questions on SC surprised me after I was doing the analysis. I was under the impression that all the questions are almost equally from 3 sections. Can it be because I might be doing a lot of errors ? I mean, is there any such stats that when a person starts answering more wrongs, the adaptive test starts throwing more SCs. Also, in one passage, I had only 1 question. I answered in correctly and that was immediately followed by an SC. Is it a normal thing ?an RC containing only 1 question ?

@Neo2000 Sir, if you could rename this group and remove '2010-11' from the name, it would be great as this is the best thread for GMAT info, whereas every newbie here tends to open new threads and post their queries which normally go unanswered and end up being Spam. :)
