Am I eligible to do a master's abroad with my profile having completed BCom in 2017 with 57% and 3.5 years of work experience for a MBA?
Yes, you can apply for a master’s abroad with your BCom (2017, 57%) and 3.5 years of work experience. While your academic score is below the typical 60 - 65% minimum for many programs, your significant work experience can strengthen your application - especially for MBA or management-related courses.
To boost your chances:
- Prepare for required standardized tests (GRE/GMAT), as strong scores can help offset lower grades.
- Take an English proficiency test (IELTS/TOEFL) as required.
- Write a strong Statement of Purpose (SOP) highlighting your work experience and motivation.
- Arrange solid Letters of Recommendation (LORs) from employers or mentors.
Admission requirements are subject to change. For tailored guidance on next steps, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
