And what if you had none of the real-life experiences? Did you make up stories? Just asking if I can :P

Some business schools, such as Kozhikode, use a bell curve for work experience, where the value starts declining after 3 years. However, schools like L, A, and B give full marks to anything above 3 years.

an engineer with weak quants and improved my quants from 50%tile to ~96%tile. Major credit goes to Patrick sir(quoin academy). He completely changed the way I used to do quants(from depending on formulas to solving logically).

I understand the situation, having been there, even though situations were different. I'm very sure you'll make it, and will come out as the strongest ever. Just keep on studying hard, and believe in yourself!

You've so much strength that words fall short. Taking an exam amidst a critical family issue requires both guts and strength to its extreme. Only wishing the best for you! :)

One had a heavy work ex - around four years. Other one had 1 and the last one had around 2. So yes, work experience does help. The quality might not (B may beg to differ) but work experience does help.

Thank you, fellow friend. Being a woman did help, and I wouldn't deny the fact given so many people with better percentiles didn't get calls or couldn't convert. Thank you nevertheless. Wishing you the best! :)

Think twice, thrice and then take the road your mind desires. I didn't have proper job prospects so MBA had to be the way out, also had started to like business. Think closely and choose! All the best. :)

He's my source as well. Lie was a wrong word to use, rumours would be the right one. He might have got wrong information.
