Thnks catalytic for ur warm wishes,

An uncontional offer means that the student has completed all requirements for entry into the course and has no more requirements to be met like a IELTS score card, final year marksheet,etc, thats where a conditional offer comes where the student is considered for the course but will be admitted to the course only once he completes the requirements ,

Well as far as PG going to oxford is considered, he is not going this yr , so i miss out there, but yeah we can always be in touch through PG.com

cheers,

hi frens...

hi i am kirti khetan from mumbai. i have compleetd my B.M.S course this april n awaiting for my results. my trck rec has been good throughout my acads with avg above 75%. the only drawback is that i dnt have any full time work exp but i did summers n even worked wid dad while studying but i guess that these exp r nt included in work exp.

but the point is that i m pusruing MBA in finance from UK. i hav a conditional offer from various univ. like

  1. university of liverpool
  2. university of cardiff
  3. university of wales institute , cardif
i have also applied to univ like UNIV.OF NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE, UNIVE OF ROBERT GORDAN n am still waitin for the reply....

the prob here wid me is that i m confused abt the credentials of the universities. i m even worried abt the rankings, placements n all....

hey anybody who cn help me wid this asap....

Hi kirti,
I think i hav written to u before, pls go to the RAE 2001 site for the ratings on these institutes based on the quality of research work they carry out,(and pls believe me these ratings are very very credible.!!!!)
And according to me Cardiff is the best offer u hav yet.
Also what hav u got an unconditional offer for MSc in finance or MBA,
Anyways both courses are equally good, depending on what u want that is!

A note on placement though,pls be aware that no univ in UK or that for matter USA will tell u that they can assure u of a sure shot job after the course, but as far as i know i think u hav a good opprtunity as u had some part time exp as u said, but this is subj to how good u perform in your course and how u market urself there,which i think u wud bcas of ur good past record(wow i sound like a pro !!!) hey but these are not my words but of some ppl i know who hav done their MBA frm cardiff and are now working in top firms like goldman sachs...,
Also if this helps Finance is one of the hottest courses there so i wud say go for it if u get an Unconditional offer.
Pls let me know if u need to know anything.

cheers,

Hey Pankaj!

Despite the fact that SBS Oxford is not a very old school (started in 1996), it has done good in placements so far. Many of the placements are done thru recruitment fairs and companies visting. The site lists down the major recruiters for MBA grads of SBS - IT and Consulting firms for instance.

The faculty of SBS is (my view) among the best. Most of the faculty if you see have come after teaching at LBS, Harvard and Stanford business schools. So they are GOOD! I am fascinated by the school's New Business Development and the Consulting projects that form part of the teaching curriculum/project/internship whatever u may call it.

If you plan for an MBA from UK, do keep yourself iformed about the deadlines of scholarships from the british council site.
P.S. I would prefer if you change the "thanks man" to "thanks" or "thanks lady" . But no hard feelings buddy 😉

Samra! 😃

Hee that was good Samra, actually i myself thought u were a male so used a neutral tone in my posts, but we gotta correct that now? what say:)

Btw when are u planning to apply for your visa, i am gonna apply some time in july,

An important note to ppl going to uk try and BLOCK ur FLIGHT tickets if ur sure that u will be leaving in sept, as u may find it difficult to get one later.

cheers,

vinod.
