MBA in London - Fall 2010
Mon Sep 07, 2009 05:44 PM
Hi, newbie here.. Firstly, thank you all for having this forum up and for helping everyone with questions related to business schools, tests, etc. I\'ve come here looking for some advice myself..

I completed my undergraduate (marketing) from an American university in London in 2007 (GPA = 3.0). During my four years at university, I managed to get a bunch of internships in the bag (Shell, Chevron Texaco, P&G, Nokia, ABN AMRO bank). Since then, I moved back home and have been working for HSBC (commercial banking) for a little over two years now, and I\'m looking to start my MBA next fall. I have recently started looking at books for my GMAT (got my hands on an OG, 10th ed.) and I plan to apply soon.

My dream school would be CASS. I understand that I\'ve got an average academic background, so any tips you folks could put up would be great help. I\'m open to suggestions about other schools (preferably in London) and how to go about my GMAT, etc.

Thanks a lot for your time! :)

p.s: I intend to try and get a job in London after my MBA.

I'd say you should focus on your GMAT test prep, maybe even take a class if you can. Your GPA is ok but your internships and work experience experience help, and a good GMAT score would be the kicker, and should put you within reach of CASS.

Not sure about other London programs in the same realm as CASS, but if you want to expand your search to other U.K. schools, make sure you look at Lancaster University, Strathclyde, or Warwick.
