I got the offer as well and I have a month's time to accept the offer. Have u decided to accept the offer or do u have admits in any other place?As of now, I dont have any but I am still in the process of applying to colleges...lets see how it goes.

Any details about Cass? I dont have that much... will start researching abt the jobs prospects, expenditure and the value Cass adds now that i have got an admit.

That's it from here

Thanks
Vicky

Hello,

I'm currently doing an MBA from Cass Business School and saw that you had some questions.

If you have any specific questions you can direct them to me on this forum so everyone else can benefit as well.

On a general note, in the recently released FT ranking of full time MBA programs, Cass is ranked #41. One should remember that the rankings are based on feedback from alumni that graduated 3 years ago, so the rankings tend to represent the aituation as it was 3 years ago.

3 years is not such a long time, as most MBA programs are 2 years. However, Cass, along with others in the UK (well, except LBS really) , is a one year program. So the 3 year lag in rankings can actually hide quite a lot of good stuff thats been going on. I am pretty sure that this year's class ranks much higher, especially looking at our standards compared to those at LBS and I believe we're way better.

The current full time class has got 80 people - so we all fit in a single lecture room.

Cass is located in 'The City' - an area of London thats known as the financial and business district. Our proximity means we get many speakers come in either as guest lecturers or to present seminars in the evenings. it also means that we start getting job mails from day 1, when we're least expecting it.

Another thing I like about Cass is that it feels more like an office rather than a college. Its a highrise building and besides the MBA's we've got several other MSc courses that are run, so theres a few hundred more of us that do courses in banking or finance or management.

Anyway, some of us have just launched a blog, you might wanna check it out to get a flavour of the current class. A Cass MBA blog

Cheers.

Dear Pranman,
Hi. Thanks for taking the time out for this thread.
I have an admit from Cass. And I am unsure about taking it up.
My profile. 7 yrs work ex Indian Army.
My main query is the how do I finance the MBA. I believe it will cost around 30 lac. Another main issue is what average salary can I expect after the MBA?
Thanks

Hi there!!

congrats on ur admit!!Are you ppl considering Imperial(Tanaka Business School) also?..
how does imperial rate as compared to Cass?

Pls gve ur inputs ..

Hi Vicky,

Praful,

An Indian Army work ex is very good and appreciated by companies that want to hire you.

The Cass MBA is expensive. But I think it has been worth it for me so far.

Average salary, well, thats variable according to the industry you'd like to work in, however, many MBAs get into investment banking, private equity or fund management. Those jobs are usually based in London and tend to pay between 60-90K.

Another viable career tends to come from Management Consulting or working for the big 4 audit firms. Jobs there would normally fetch between 60-80.

I think generally the minimum salary youre looking at (At least with 7 yrs) is 60K. And if youre good and target the right companies with the right CV (you do get personal career coaching at Cass), then even 100K isn't impossible.

But stick with 60-80K for realistic targets.

As for funding it. most indian banks should give you a 15 lac loan. you have to figure out the other 15 somehow.

You do however do a project from June that should net you 6-10K until August. So that does help.

If you need more clarity let me know :-)

Cheers.

Imperial's a better brand but I think their MBA isn't half as good as Cass (well not for me anyway, but I'm not the typical guy)

The Imperial MBA director has just left Tanaka and joined Cass instead. Stefan Szymanski. Look him up.

Join Imperial if you want to be in college and become an MBA-type that knows how to do presentations using powerpoint and is interested in entrepreneurship.

Join Cass if you want to be creative with presentations, are not the typical MBA-type and prefer to study in an office environment rather than a college.
