Mama And Chahcha can Apply For You But It Takes Processing time is 6 months to 2 years for canada Or usa Depends Upon Your File

I need some information from who knows this:

My BBA degree will end in January 2013. I want to apply for MBA in Canada (U of Toronto or McGill etc). Should I be applying after I finish my degree or should the procedure start like right now? My mom keeps saying I need to start it now but the admission requirements include my final semester GPA and my overall CGPA which I will only get after I finish my degree

Admissions and Fees | Full-Time MBA Program | Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto | Ontario, Canada
M.B.A. | Future Graduate Students - McGill University

As per my Opinion do Bachelors from Pakistan in ur desired field and get a Masters Degree from Abroad UK/Canada/USA

itll take Years for a Simple Bachelors degree to pay back 60Lakh Rs

a bachelors degree from a top notch uni maybe expensive, like im hoping to get into ucl or warwick, depends on my grades but it does pay back 60 lacs in a year or two if you know where to go

someone answer my question before i kill a homeless kitten

 

[BumperJumper]

So guys i was wondering what is the min CGPA requirement for applying abroad?

I want to do Masters in Software Engineering or any related field to it. I want to do it from abroad, preferably it should be cheap.

I prefer Germany since i heard Post Graduate students can easily get scholarship + i already have some of my friends applying for it. I know America, Canada and UK will be expensive.

My cousin did his Masters from Sweden on scholarship, he didn't pay for studies and only had to pay for his expenses. He is settled in Sweden now making big bucks after his Masters. I am planning to do the same inshALLAH so i will appreciate if someone lends me a hand here.

Any idea about how much time it will take me to apply for a University and fulfill the requirements etc. I would also like to know about the amount of bank statement required for study. I will be graduating in June inshALLAH.

Thanx for any help

well ive left a message for my friend ...hopefully she will get bk to me tomorrow and ill let you know

 

[Ashhad]

@Lord Ammar .....here is her reply and im quoting it exactly as it was

it depends on the university he wants to apply to ...alot of good unis in canada will require gmat and work experience for sure ...but if he wants to apply to average universities like university of manitoba and all ..then he might not need a gmat even ...he can apply for masters with his current gpa but not to the top ones like mcgill and all ..they require work experience ...​

 

[Lord Ammar]

Thanks a lot for the response!

And damn it @ work experience I mean what work experience can we possibly get in Pakistan? That too more than 1 year :/

 

[Blastwave]

Thanks a lot for the response!

And that too work experience completed AFTER bachelors degree that counts.

 

[Ashhad]

And that too work experience completed AFTER bachelors degree that counts.

yeah you are right....once he has finished his degree only then he can work and only then that experience will count

[MENTION=18102]Lord Ammar[/MENTION] .....its tough but you will have to do it

Try getting Freelance work and professional references as much as you can.

Professionally I have only SIX years of work experience.

But my Freelance + Professional references are 10+

 

[Lord Ammar]

So basically there's no use applying right now in a good university since I have no work experience?

Look up which universities are asking for "Work experience" and which universities are just asking for "Professional references"

You can easily get the professional references and be eligible.

well I really cant comment on that but what my friend said it seems like you will need work experience for good universities
You should at least try Blastwave's suggestion before you give up
