Hi Just thought that I should start a thread for all those applying to the Thunderbird fall 2011 program. Would give us a forum to discuss all issues related to the program.

I've got an admission offer email just today. I applied in the round 1 deadline.
Still not sure about the scholarship amount. I've been told to wait for a few days until i get a confirmation on the same. I'm pretty excited though as this is the only offer i have as of now. If a get a decent scholarship i'll be joining thunderbird for sure.
My profile is as follows:
GMAT : 660 (V35 Q46)
Toefl : 106 (27,30,22,27)
Work Exp : 4Y+ when i'll be joining in Top IT companies in India with 2+ Yrs exp into leading a team. Also got numerous awards and recognitions in the company. Also working on my own startup.
Academics : Good

Chill dude. The decision date is still 3 days away. Besides, ur high GMAT score will compensate your low acads. Don wry, you will surely get an accept.

Even i have not received a mail from them. Have called them up. They told me you have a strong application and that you should write the scholarship essay. Have done that, but still no reply. So waiting.
Please tell me who you are mailing, the admissions office or the associate director admissions directly.

Hi,
Can you tell us about the job market for indians post mba? Are der jobs in Phoneix?
Hi,
Can you tell us about the job market for indians post mba? Are der jobs in Phoneix?
I met many seniors in 4th Trimester who are already placed in US and other countries as well. while few others are still looking for job. some bad news, I heard H1B fees have gone up high and companies are keen to hire local candidate. (this is a disadvantage for all international students all over US)
Anyways If you are clear on what Industry you want to go post-MBA it really helps a lot as you can focus on that stream, talk to alumni (Tbird alumni are extremely helpful).
Certainly Phoneix is not in the list of most development cities in US, however many top companies all over US come recruit Thunderbird students. while I agree location disadvantage is there, In fact I expressed the same to one of the senior, he told me with 670 GMAT score I would not have got an admit in this school, had the school been in California or some other highly developed place. after that So I stopped worrying too much about location 😃 .I compromised on location for quality professors. Trade-off always has to happen !
One free advise: get ur career goals clear. participate in brain storming session with friends about ur career goals. believe me this will seriously have lot of impact on ur career search.
Finally, All my opinions are purely personal and treat them as comments from fellow PG friend. I am not here to brand Thunderbird but just to give info to fellow PG mates. answer ur queries regarding VISA / bootcamps / no of credits etc..
I have received scholarship of 25% of tution , approx $20,250.
Thanks Sanduadi. That was surely helpful peice of advice. Infact, the H1-B visa fees is an issue even in NYC. Lets hope things improve after 2 years :).
