We don't give individual assessments of candidates. It is really up to you to make the best possible case for yourself through the essays, your work references etc. I should say that the average number of work experience for our students is 6.5 years so you will have to make sure that you are able to demonstrate a strong track record of work achievements in the short time that you have worked.
Good luck.

Thanks a lot Conrad for following this thread. I am sure all applicants will be helped a lot for the guidance and clarification they will receive from you.
I had one question on UK student visa and post study visa ( OPT/OJT as in US) details. I tried to take a shot from UKVisa site but I'm yet to nail down all the details. If you please share anything you may have ready or any link we can refer to for a quick summary - will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I have written extensively on my blog (The Cambridge MBA Admissions blog | MBA admissions processes and perspectives @ The Cambridge Judge Business School) about the impact of the new visa regulations on MBAs. Specifically, you can search on the tag "visas" within my blog to see the articles that I have written about the visa regulations.
All the best.

Hi
I just logged into Cambridge MBA application portal to start my application process. However I just see Edit my portal and logout links in the below URL https://cjbs.hobsons.co.uk/Vip/Vip.aspx. I don't see a clue on how to proceed from here.
Please help me proceed with the online application.
Thanks,

Thanks Conrad. I've sent a mail.
Hi Conard,
Is it mandatory for an applicant to visit UK for the interview or it can be done over telephone?
Our first round application deadline is on Friday and so far, we have received more applications than we did this time last year. Having said that, it is still a small number as most people only submit their application on the day of the deadline itself.
I have also posted an overview of the admission statistics for MBA 2011, the class that just started this week on my blog. You can read it at
MBA 2011 | The Cambridge MBA Admissions blog
Any comments or questions are welcome.

Thanks for posting the overview of admission statistics for MBA 2011.
It is great to see MBA admission Head helping prospective candidates in this forum. Certainly something unique!
I am almost ready with my application. However, it seems that my referee has gone super busy and unreachable. I just hope she sends the recommendation in time, else I have to wait for the next round.

The only area on which I would say your application is a bit missing out is on experience. I hope you will make up for it by hooking a good theme for your application. Looking at Said/Cambridge admits, they love diversity.With around 1300 applications and acceptance rate of about 12%, it always looks for people with interest in innovation management, entrepreneurship etc becoz of the great academic and start-up environment there...Also, another important factor Judge offers is the opportunity to do 3 consulting projects..so you can align your interest stating that you will make up for your experience there.
Rest all depends on a good presentation
Thank you Conrad for participating in these discussions!
You must be receiving hundreds of applications from India year after year. And most of these applications must be exactly like the previous 'Indian IT Male' (IIM) one you had gone through last evening. :)
What aspects in the applications of this highly competitive demographic make you sit up and take notice?
Best,
