        Same advise for you: Read my MIM eBook first and learn what schools want and how to evaluate your own chances.

        Best wishes

      Hi there,

      have you read my MIM eBook already? Here you find a lot of information about Masters in Management and other kind of business masters (e.g. MBA) - but, most importantly for you, information on admissions criteria on one hand and how you can find out if your profile meets a school's requirements on the other.

      Best wishes

        Hi Thomas,

        I'll surely read your ebook. But, my question was not regarding whether I meet a school's selection criteria or not.
        As far as I have done my research, I do meet the criteria for most of the schools. But, that's on paper. And Admissions is obviously not a very objective process.

        Since you've seen so many profiles and have a fair experience with the applications, I wanted to know your personal opinion of my profile. I will read the book, but I know that cannot replace the opinion an experienced person can provide.

        I have done a thorough research on other business programs as well. In fact, I had planned to do an MBA few years down the line. But, due to some personal reasons, I have realized that MBA will not be possible for me. But, I still want to get into the management field. So, I took a sudden decision last month and have been working on my applications since. I'll be applying in the round 2 of the aforementioned schools.

        Can you guide me in my case.

          Hi there,

          you find my opinion in my book. If you still have questions once you have read it thoroughly and applied the thoughts and methodology in the context of your three schools - Duke(fuqua), michigan(Ross) and notre dame(mendoza) - feel free to send me your questions again.

          Best wishes
          Thomas
