@@aushatthapa181 Look at the rejection as a blessing in disguise. You were too young then and long-term career clarity is generally missing at that age. So the degree may not have given you the RoI you'd expect. Complete your education in India and work for a few years. Build a strong profile, and if an MBA is still on the radar at that time, give it your best shot. For now, don't worry about international degrees. How does that idea sound?

@MBACrystalBall

Not really. Tuition alone won't take you there, but other factors will. Let's look at how it works using an example. Stanford's annual tuition is $76,950. So, for two years, you can double that. The challenge is when you start adding the other expenses to this base tuition - like living costs, books, transportation, insurance. The annual amount shoots up to $124,000 for a single student, and around $150,000 for a married student. That's the real amount to consider. For a 2-year program, it can be between #$25,000 to $300,000.

Hi Sameer and Crystal Ball Team, Firstly I would like to thank you from bottom of my heart for making these videos, because it helped me to get lot of info about MBA program which I was looking for. I read the book "Hype of MBA" as well 4 years back. I want to pursue a regular MBA as that would give me more learning than the executive one. Could you please guide me what would be good for me to rise in my career. I have completed 'B.Tech' in "computer science" in 2007. Thereafter, working in IT industry as 'Senior Quality Analyst' from past 15 years and I am not growing in my career. I work for a good Organization currently. Want to step up to the leadership roles, however due to lack of experience in leadership roles, I am not being offered that role. Thought MBA program will help me grow in career and at the same time will give me learning with skills of leadership roles. Though I have attended many leadership trainings at work and already implementing it, still I am not being promoted. Thought MBA at international level will give me a lot of learning and accelerate my career exponentially. Please guide if this is the right thing to do. Or what could be best for me to go with.

A regular MBA after 30 does become quite tricky, since there's a lot of bias among recruiters (even if they don't publicly admit it) while recruiting grads with significant experience. Most applicants with your experience who work with us target programs such as these. Check them out to see if there's alignment with your goals and interests: www.mbacrystalball.com/blog/2018/05/14/sloan-fellows-program-review-mit-lbs-stanford/ Keep in mind that these are also quite expensive, and a lot still depends on the mentality and unwritten policies of the companies you approach during the recruitment phase. Start talking to others who have a similar profile who're attending MBA programs. You'll get more ground level inputs from them to help you take your decision.

The answer to that would depend on what you want to do post-MBA (you haven't mentioned your goals). If you're planning a big career transition, then a part-time degree wouldn't be as effective.

Sir, I am interested in pursuing MBA from Canada but I have some doubt with my graduation percentage.My percentage in graduation is 63% I want to know that am I eligible to apply for ivy league colleges such as Rottman, Schulich, etc in Canada.

Thanks Sameer.. I am posting something here regarding myself. I need your advise on this. By profession I am a civil servant, working for a state govt from 2015 onwards, prior to that I was with a public sector general insurance company, and as graduate engineer with a construction major. I am 32 now, having a B. Tech. in electrical engineering. Now I want to pursue MBA from a reputed B School abroad (Preferably Top 15-25). My questions are: 1. Whether there are any age related disadvantages after pursuing MBA regarding placements? 2. I have a query also about the One year programs, specially at INSEAD or likewise, whether that will be more appropriate for me given my age? I know it may be too much asking from you. But it would be really helpful for me. Waiting eagerly for your response.

@MBACrystalBall

1. Yes, your guess is right. Being an older candidate does come with its challenges - not only in the classroom but also during placements. 2. You're right again. Shorter duration (1-year) programs in Europe attract more mature students compared to US b-schools. So do your research well and ensure that you don't stick out like a sore thumb in the batch. Start identifying and talking to students who come with your profile to find out what challenges they faced and how they dealt with it.
