MBA Infomation for Indian Students
More than 80,000 students come abroad to US from India every year. Maximum number of them land here in California. Majority of these come in for business studies, either Bachelors or Masters. In this post we will be focusing on Universities in California offering MBA courses. We are also trying to interview a couple of recruiters and post those interviews here for you all to read. So lets start with the list of top 5. The following list is from a global ranking list.
Univ Name 2006 Rank International Students
1)Stanford 3 39%
2)Haas 16 37%
3)UCLA 19 26%
4)USC 54 22%
5)UC Davis 79 17%
The above mentioned 5 universities are very hard to get into and require an average of 3 years work experience. Any students applying to these universities without work experience have very little chance if any of getting accepted. Applying to universities is an expensive proposition for indian students keeping the exchange rate in mind. So be sure that you meet the minimum requirements for the universities you are applying for. Also if you are hoping to get scholarships, then these universities rarely offer scholarships to international students.
Universities in the UC system i.e. University of California do not offer scholarships to international students in the first year making the endeavour that much more expensiveOneof the universities know be more liberal with scholarships in its MBA programs is Pepperdine University. The Graziadio School of Business at Pepperdine is liberal with its scholarships if you exceed a score of 700. To get more information visit Pepperdine
Feel free to ask me questions in this post about various MBA programs. We will soon be moving to the east coast schools and try and provide some insider information on those as well.
