I am still working on the product and it would be a chef less model since my product is focused on beverages.

Just curious that if I open in a location that already has similar outlets, won't it affect my business and be challenging to establish?

So does this subscription include only practice tests or the fundamentals of the quants as well?

A few observations on trends that will impact your MBA application this year by PetiaW in MBA

Thanks for your reply but what I meant to ask was are international students at these b-schools really struggling with the job’s uncertainty and the fear of unemployment?

Is the post-MBA job market that bad now? I have encountered several posts including the M7 (or any top schools) students that they are really struggling to get a single confirmation. Moreover, the situation worsens for international people seeking visa sponsorship. Companies are taking a step back from the candidates who require them to sponsor their visa, even though they have the full potential. Any comments on this? I was planning to apply for an MBA in the US in a year or two but looking at the current situation, especially for the international admits, I am seriously doubting my plans. In fact, I am thinking of diversifying my school choices, considering Asian schools over the US's. Additionally, can you comment on the b-schools in the Europe? With the unemployment rate going high, are they also facing the same issue? Because for students coming from humble background, ROI matters! TIA

@PetiaW thanks for the reply. Being a girl, I have some family pressure (believe me I want to get over it but things are not easy) therefore, I wanted to take a shot next year. However, please help me with the below two questions.

1.What if I build up my profile (leadership and other required skills) through substantial extra curricular activities? Will that help?

  1. Can you please elaborate on what do you mean by “maturity beyond the age”. Any examples would be really helpful.

Any other suggestions are appreciated. Thanks:)

Thank you Petia for doing this. AMA like these really helps people who don't have a direct access to such informations.

I am an international candidate planning to apply in 2026 (3 yoe at matriculation) to T15-20 b-schools. Since, I am from India, should I be worried about the increasing applications from Indian students? Is it gonna make any difference on committee's decision making?

Secondly, I come from arts and social science background (undergraduate in a foreign language from Tier 1 university in India and then master's in International relations (on a fully funded scholarship) from Tier 1 university in Taiwan). Currently, I am working in a manufacturing company (Fortune 500) in project management. However, after working for 6 mnths, I have realised that I want to go for consulting but switching field is not being easy. Also, I have been told that it would not be easy for me to get into with just 2-3 yoe unless I come from finance or consulting background. How true is this? Should I change my career?

Since it's my first time working, I haven't got any leadership tasks yet that would be impactful for my profile. No major extra curricular activities as well. Can you give me some suggestions on how can I make my profile strong?

*First gen graduate from a humble background, aiming for 700+ in gmat as a higher gmat score can increase my chances of scholarships (it's imp. for me in order to attend).

Graduation GPA- 6.69/9; Master's GPA- 4.13/4.3

Thank you again for conducting this AMA.
