u no what i feel is A diverse MBA class is a perfect learning environment and for this reason, Business Schools prefer students with different cultural, personal, and professional backgrounds. In addition, team work is critical for success in any MBA program. Most MBA programs consist of case discussions and group assignments, which call for working in teams. Hence, B-Schools want candidates who have demonstrated an ability to work well in group setting. More often than not, work experience provides individuals an opportunity to work in teams, and demonstrate team work and people skills.

If you are an Asian student, you provide the necessary cultural diversity. Add to this, your work experience brings the necessary diversity in the collective work experience of the class. This makes you an attractive applicant to Business Schools. But the problem is that there are others like you who are applying - applicants from your own country, many with similar backgrounds and achievements, and they all compete with you.

pls do post ne of ur further comments on it.it would be very help ful.thanks.bye.tc

When you come back to studies after you work for sometime, you will know what practical life is about and be more sincere in your studies

how much does one really learn or understand about the real world in 2 years or work x??? is somthing that one must really think about

[squareleg]

Its not exp Candidate has more abilities, or perform in diverse situations, but its more like he is in a better position to see things from the corporate angle, to make a connection betwn Theory n Practical World (having worked earlier) and quickly learn what it meant when somthing happened during his job.

Eg. By learing OB n HR the common subjects in MBA one can understand why Bosses these days giv mor respect to employees, OR how much it means to praise som1 for any small task, th diff that it makes,

why best of Policies failed and many things one is able to better corelate rather than visualise like a fresher.

Again INTL Bschools MBAs start at age of 28-30, after W.Ex, its not like ours where we suppose to think 10+2+3 and MBA Big pay packet.

now any tom dick and harrry can't get their desired dreams comet ture untill n unless they can prove them selves, it's strange we're speaking abt experience, i say experience is much more imp then doin MBA, even if one doesn't have MBA but has a good experience he can do well then MBA's......... this is ma practical implication.

yup thats a valid point and a good thought but sometimes i feel when a person does his or her graduation the student is not dat serious in the academics and then misses out imp knowledge content of the syllabus.and as the result struggles to attain a efficient result while working.i feel doin mba would get him the knowledge.........dis was what i feelpls do post ne further comments of urs it would be very helpful.thanks neways.tc

Experienced candidates are more focussed as compared to freshers and they know what they need to do wherein freshers need to be guided.
