Why not take the GMAT? Then you can get into the best school you can.

Hi Duncan,

Thanks for your prompt reply...i do not have time to write & prepare for Gmat...I want to apply this year only...Could you suggest some good universities...

There's a great list here: http://www.find-mba.com/board/25239

You'll have a much better return on your investment if you take the time to take the GMAT and get into the best school you can.

Well if you dont want to take GMAT then some of the B-Schools, not demanding GMAT scores are:
1. Aston
2. Durham
3. Birmingham
4 Bradford
5. Strathclyde
6. Edinburgh
These are among the best ones (without GMAT category )

Entreprenuer MBA - Isn't it an Oxymoron?

Not at all. An MBA taught me the skills, connections and self-confidence I needed to build a business and help found two others. Not everyone needs, but it will benefit some people.

If I was focussed narrowly on entrepreneurship, I would look not at those non-GMAT schools in the UK, but at EM Lyon in France, or Babson in the US. They also run a joint MSc.

Hi All ,

Thank You so much to take out your valuable time and responding to my query...it has really helped me with loads of info...Thanks once again

Also understand that B-Schools not requiring a GMAT score for their MBA applications are preferably placed on the lists of the so called Admission Agents or Admission Consultants, whatever you may want to call them & generally the student quality in such MBA programs is not very good.

That really depends on the admissions consultants. At JK, where I am a consultant, we don't take fees from schools (as fare I I know we never have). That would encourage us to push students towards the schools where they would have weaker outcomes, since it's the weaker programmes which need to pay for applicants.

HI All ,

Thanks for the info..well i have got offers from nottingham , strathclyde , sheffield and leeds...my interview with durham is on 10th July...really confused as to which university i should join..if you could help me it would be of great help..

The first two are the best. Chose between them on the basis of which city you prefer.

Strathclyde would be best among your choices unless you get through Durham.

Hi ,

Whats your view on Leeds??

not as strong as the other two.

I would recommend that you avoid all of them. I thought you wanted some international experience. All of the schools you mentioned will have a huge student population of Indians. At any of these schools, half of the MBA class will be Indian. So for you it will be like studying in India again.

This person will also be surrounded by Indians if he stays in India, but at least in an MBA he will make progress faster. Do you have a positive suggestion for him?
