Do any of you guys know if Simon accepts students with a 3 year undergrad degree or do they only take in students with a 4 year degree?

How was your interview experience? Who took ur interview? Any tricky questions or just the standard questions? Please share.

@user420 I can't recall her name...But it was a very cordial interview on skype...She basically looked closely at my resume when interviewing.

Standard questions..tell me about urself, past experience, overseas experience, goals, why simon in particular, are u ok to work in the US or any country other than india... lasted about 35-40 mins

Congrats bro!

@mohitkhetan Mohit, I would suggest you create a login access on their ApplyYourself website as soon as possible.
As you browse through the application requirements..u will get your answer...or write them an email...B Schools are usually prompt in responding to emails.

unfortunately i cannot remember whether a 4 yr graduate course was a compulsory requirement. I'd submitted my appl. over 2 months ago.

I applied before 2 weeks, and no reply yet.

If a 35% scholarship is all they give, it will be way costlier than what I had planned my MBA to be. But that is thinking far too ahead. I have not received any mails from them yet.

@Gunner711 Well..i do not know if that is all they give...but that's all i got...so yes..the tuition is expensive..no doubt...but people claim it is really a great course.

@bluespider , yeah I am sure it is a great course, which also explains my thinking behind applying there. But, let us consider a case where a person has options: 1. MBA at a very costly place with a decent scholarship (around 50%) (Say, Simon) 2. MBA at a school 3-4 ranks below Simon, with a much better scholarship.
I don't know in that case, which one should a person choose.
In Simon's case, there are many schools which rank a little lower than it, say one or two ranks higher or lower, and which offer great scholarships.

There lies my confusion!
