Hey all,

me too applying to Manchester.. would be submitting my application by end of this week.

I got a mail from MBS about their pre-application 1-to-1 meetings in India. Anyone else get the mail?? And any idea when the meet would be held in bangalore.. Also it would be helpful if someone could shed some light on what the meeting would revolve around???

Thanks

Bschool Congats!!!!!!!!!!

Well going through you interview got to know that they asked a lot of question of the work and assignemnet most behavioural questions. Also you are an Indian right now in zirich. How r u planning to arrange the finance as MBS don't have any contract with any bank for international students. This is the major drawback otherwise the school is great and provides a lot of international exposure and have good rank and placement stats.

Pls let me know your views.

Others who have any idea on any of the issue pls enlighten us.

Regards,
Abhishek

Thankyou Amol and Abhishek!

@Amol My profile is very similar to yours except that I have 2 years of international experience working from a different country.(Male/IT/700/4.5 WE-2 INT.)

@Abhishek you are absolutely right the Admission Committee was just trying to gauge my reaction in different situations. As for finance I would try to take a loan from any of the Indian banks if I fail to secure a loan I still have sufficient funds to Finance my Manchester MBA(from my own earnings and help from family and friends).

I am still evaluating Manchester as I also have an Admit from Rotman Business School but the fees of Rotman is just too steep for me. What do you guys suggest?
