GMAT's are generally required for entry into a reputable MBA degree program. There are a number of schools that do not require the GMAT. Depending on what kind of school you want to attend, you might opt for a distance education MBA program. While working as a MD you can work on your MBA and finish in less than 2 years. A simple search on Google will get a number of results of distance education MBA programs. Many are accredited, some are not, so do your research.

MBA is a practical, career-oriented degree and having work experience, especially management experience, is essential to doing well in the program.  It would be very difficult to understand and relate to the course material, often case studies, if you lack the work experience.\n\nWith that said, depending how great of a GMAT score you have, you probably have a good shot at getting into an MBA program.  Most second and third tier schools will overlook the lack of experience with a good GMAT score.  I don't know if first tier schools will overlook that.

Depends on where you are getting your MBA.  My husband got his at a good school and just started a pretty good job, his brother did not go to a good school and makes 28 thousand a year.

I think your credentials in addition to your work history/work ethic should get you a VERY good new job.  I wish I had an advanced degree, but couldn't afford grad school.  Someday... Anyway, don't be worried about your MBA being from a smaller school.  If there is any question, stress the accreditation.  Good luck.

Firstly CFA does not teach you anything. Its a certification, you take the test and you clear it. You need to have a finace background to be able to sit for test.\n\nThe best thing for you would be look for schools that offer marketing courses onliner. If you want to take some courses without going for a degree or a diploma you probably wont require GMAT. \n\nOne certificatoin is CMA Certified Marketing Accountant, but I doubt if this is what you are looking for. The link below lists some of the online marketing courses.

If more career options  is what you seek that's why you will enroll in MBA, why not?  If you take up Master of Laws, then  you are  not alone in your choice because an LLB is required before LLM.\nOr better yet, you might want to go and talk to a career  counselor.

You sure need a good graduation degree for your MBA. B.Com is a good option. Try to do it from a good college, take part in extra-curricular activities and be an active member of your collge teams.\n\nAlso needless to say, if you join one of the coaching classes like IMS, Career Launcher, et al during your final year of college, it would help a lot.\n\nBest of luck.

Yes - Many online universities offer classes without the GMAT requirement.

besides the GRE,GMAT scores, you need to have a good academic background, overall achievements (like attending seminars,paper presentations,conference etc etc)they also scrutinize your essays,SOP (statement of purpose) and recommendations...\nthe SAT is basically for doing your UG (which you are already doing)..so its not necessary...since our first language is not english, you may have to write the TOEFL..check that out with the university website as to which exam they want you to appear,,sometimes they may ask you to take some other exms also...you can check the officilal sites for GRE,GMAT,TOEFL \nexams..\nwww.gre.org\nwww.mba.com(GMAT)\nwww.toefl.com\n\ni dont think there is any minimum requirement for you..(i believe you wud have crossed 18)its advisable to attempt any 1 exam..if you want to do higher education in technical, go for the GRE..if its management,do the GMAT..plan very well...the entire process requires lot of planning...\n\nwish you all the very best..

My experience was as follows:\n\n1.  I downloaded the free software from the MBA.com website.  They have two full practice tests and I found these helpful.\n\n2.  I also bought a Kaplan book and a Princeton Review book.  I thought that the Kaplan book was much more helpful.  One *big* helpful hint that I found was to **NOT** write in the book - you can't write on the computer screen on the test, so don't get into bad habits.\n\n3.  ETS also offers "The Official Guide for GMAT Review."  I didn't use it, but I heard that it is very helpful - the questions in the book come from old tests.\n\n4.  In general, spend a little time each day working on the test.  If English is your native language, I wouldn't spend that much time worrying about the essays.  I don't think those scores are really looked at unless English is a second language for you.\n\n5.  Try not to stress to much and keep one eye on the clock.  Good luck!

I believe the answer is yes.  However I think most MBA programs want experience, in combination with good undergrad scores and test scores.\n\nThe fact that you have a music undergrad would mean that you would need extremely hi gmat scores and significant experience in some field of business

In the USA, many like that you have corporate world experience as well as good test scores. I know a good GMAT school would be around 720 as well as a decent GPA (3.0 and above generally). Hope this helps.

Well, I've gone through the process of applying to grad school twice, once to get my MBA and the other to get into a Ph.D. program in marketing. A GPA above 3.0 will not hurt you at all but the top schools.  Your GMAT score will probably count a bit more and should be at least 550, which is about the 50th percentile, but preferably 600, which is the 70th percentile.  Good recommendations from your previous professors and maybe employers can help, especially if the professors are well known in your desired area of study.  Beyond that, having a good attitude and being able to answer the questions "Why do you want to come to this school and why do you want to study ...?" will go a long way to helping go where you want to.
