I haven't done my research on this school..
Can you please tell me its salient features?
Why are you applying to Cass?

Hi CheckEETs,

plus points -

1) Cass is a UK school situated in heart of london.
2) Its very strong for finance but but has good electives in consulting as well.
3) It's very reputed in UK.
4) Its one year.

The only factor to worry is its cost.

Just a note to all you guys,

Cass is developing but if you really wish to get into strategic consulting or some exceptional job in London then there are better schools. You can also say that the job market atm. is dull. I've noticed many students with IT experience trying to crack into consulting which I think is difficult. However, if you are really good then there are chances of getting in; personally I haven't seen students from India getting top offers though.

Not trying to put off you guys but it's worth only if you are really going to work hard (especially at netoworking). You also have to remember that the course is of 1 year. Students apply one year in advance to secure jobs usually which means trying to find a job from day one in London or even before that is a good idea. As I'm not doing an MBA I can't be more specific but thought I'd share something.

Hi Guys,

i have got admit offer from Cass for MBA2011. In case anyone needs any help, please lemme know.

Also would be great if i cud know of anyone else who has accepted the offer.

Cheers,

I was asked similar questions to those mentioned by abhinavs123 in his post. In addition, I was asked the following:
Since I have been out of school for 7 years how well am I equipped to handle a rigorous academic program?
Which other schools I have applied to and why?
What unique experiences will I bring to the MBA class?
Why did I take my current job?
How will I finance my MBA?
Good luck with the interview.
