Hi there,
thank you for your question.
As for the GMAT, try to achieve a minimum score of 600. With that score you will not impress anyone - but you fulfilled the requirements and no one will NOT accept you because of that score.
As for the program selection, I recommend you using our search filter: In the "entry requirement" field you choose "academic degree in business / economics not required". Then you directly find programs that fit to your first academic degree - and you don't waste time by screening programs that eventually require a business degree and hence are not suited for you.
As for the chances to find a job afterwards: In a recent study among 48 MIM programs, 90 percent of all graduates found a job within 3 months after graduation. However, a majority found that job in the country where they studied. Hence, it is important to figure out clearly where you wanna study and eventually work.
The practical approach is:
- Make a list of target countries where you want to study and possibly work after graduation.
- Make a list of some of the renowned schools and programs there, e.g. by reviewing the FT Master in Management ranking.
- Screen the websites of the programs as for statistics on the student portfolio as well as on where they start their job afterwards, how fast tehy found a job, and what they earn
- Get into contact with the schools' career services asking the same questions
- and ask them to bring you in contact with current and ex-students so that you can interview them more deeply
Best wishes
Thomas
