Thanks for the info
But RMIT placemnts seem to be not so gud. Others schools u said have more or less the same stand, then after a MBA from any of those schools what are my chances of getting into a premier company considering I have done pretty gud in the MBA program.

I knw im buggin u a lot..but plz do answer

thanks

Hi, you should pass the GMAT and the TOEFL I guess (unless you are an English native speaker).

Focus on the GMAT to get the best results possible, because you need something to balance the not so good other grades..

Besides, you lack of work exp. makes it more difficult to be accepted in good MBAs, often they waive the work exp. requirements, but only if GPA are above average. This is not true for unknown MBA programs, tending to accept anyone, without any strict conditions, otherwise they don't manage to fill their classes.
But I would not go for an MBA like that, not much use. Maybe you can tell me more about your career plans though? Because it still could be an option, depending on what your plans are.
Let me know!

I'm interested in accredited MBA programs in Australia and have heard of the two MOST prestigious business schools of that country such as AGSM and MBS. Are they accredited by the AMBAs and the EQUIS, in addition to the AACSB? Pls advise.

Hi, we've been having a debate about the question of work experience and MBAs in this forum recently.
While its not always a stated requirement, its a good idea to have some experience. For example, when you apply for an MBA many business schools will expect you to prove your leadership skills, often found in the form of managerial work experience. Excellent communication skills are also key in a successful application, and once more it is often easier to demonstrate these in concrete examples when you can draw on different real life work experience situations and scenarios. However, it could be that you have gained lots of useful experience through extracurricular activities, or initiatives taken in other forms.
You should also consider which specific programme is going to be of the most use for you, and how you might want to specialise, then compare courses and institutions.

Hi,

One of the best places to do an mba in Australia is: AGSM, part of UNSW’s Australian School of Business.
AGSM MBA Programs are consistently ranked as world-class programs in surveys of international importance.

You do need a GMAT score of 600+.

Its not usual to work while you're doing a full-time mba, there's too much work.

If I were you, I'd check out:
