6.ARE THERE 1YR DURATION COURSES?

1.well if u go in terms of degree in MIS u get degree of MS except Purdue which gives MBA in MIS. and YES its more than worth doing from a good US school. generally i wld prefer doing from MIS offered by B-school of US univ .. as for your info MIS can b offered by a b-school or Comp science. so jst check out which one is offering u that in a particular university. as i mentioned above in my list above

2. there r loads jst lemme know ur GMAT score..
3. minim as such depends ..but a good GMAT something above 680 will land u in one of the best ones
4. sometime around sept it starts apply in first round ASAP
5. depends..it all depens on ur SOP and how u capitalise on ur exposure. GMAT is jst a part of it not the final take. also there r many univ which doesn;t accpet GMAT score ..they take GRE so visit there website and confirm that before applying
6.YEs CMU offers that.

Hi,

I also gave my GMAT recently,and got a 700(Q49, V36).
I also have the same query as u.
Also could suggest some top univesities that offer MS in MIS, and also accept GMAT scores.



Congrats its very good score. I guess u can aim at top univ. like CMU,Purdue..keller, elley..TAMU, n all :)

all the best

hi frens,

my wife gave her gmat last yr and got 590. she will have around 6 years of IT work exp by the time (fall '09) she's planning to apply for MBA or Mgmt in Info Systems, offered by a B_School, but not MS in IS.

she has a under-grad gpa of around 3.7 and has done some xtra cirricular activities as well.

can u pls suggest some good schools in US where she can apply and has a good chance of admission. she does not want to take the pain of taking gmat again and hence want to apply with the same score (590).

waiting for ur valuable suggestions.....

thanks,
Kamal.

Hi,

I got into CMU Heinz college MISM course.

Some Queries:

2. Effectiveness vis-a-vis an MBA course.
3. How much time will it require for visa processing. I got into May '11 Batch.
4. The visa requirements like bank account money and all.

Kindly share your thoughts.

Thanks,

If i take admission in midiocre university, to what extent it will affect placements as compared to good universities?
I heard MIS Course mostly dont have scholarships even if you get GRE score above 1400, is it true?

I hope I am not breaking any forum rules here but this may not be the best place for your query to get answered. There is a dedicated forum that addresses MIS queries. Google and find about it or you can PM me.
