Sharing some of our experiences
So, I haven t written in a long long time and have been asked about my latest blog by so many. Feels good, honestly, to know that you all enjoy my blogs and wait for the next one. For a while I was thinking about what to write, but I didn t have to think for long.
Hello McCombsStudents
Thats a great initiatibe you have taken.
To start with I have some of the following queries.
Q1. Whats the average scholarship given to International Students ?
(I understand, how you would be knowing - any ballpark figure will suffice) 😃
Q2. Whats the placement scenario, is it so that its easier for certain concentrations and relatively tough for other concentrations ?
Q3. In market or from recruiters perspective, what are the various strengths that McCombs project. I mean is there a specific concentration that is more famous among recruiters and they are more interested in recruiting students from that concentration.
Q4. I am having an IT background and would like to join IT Company after my MBA as Business Analyst. What are the prospects of IT companies. As I saw, Accenture is one of the companies which recruit as well as provide internship. Which are the other companies, one with similar aspirations can target.
Please take you sweet time to answer. 😁
Thanks for the initiative again McCombsStudent.
Please whenever you find time, Ill be happy if you can answer the following questions.
Q1. How much time does it take to repay the loan - average/general idea will be great!
Q2. Whats the range of monthly expenditure of living in Austin and pursuing MBA ? If you can provide breakup - Rent, Travelling, Food/Groceries, other amenities, it will be really helpful. For ballpark figure, if you dont mind, you can share yours as well.
Q3. What are the usual problems which Indian students face over there, during placements ? I understand Networking is one of them, apart from this - any problems ?
Q4. How would you rate Career Services of McCombs ? Do they take special measures for International Students ?
Q5. What were the qualities you looked for in McCombs MBA ?
This query is more related to the concentration.
I am interested in pursuing Information Systems(IS) from Austin.
Can you shed some light on what kind of job profiles will I get if I do my MBA in IS.
Ill have 5 years of experience in IT when Ill be going for MBA.
Do you mind sharing your concentration, it will help me to put more focused queries.
Hello, Does McCombs allow you to pursue two concentrations ? The CleanTech + BGS (Ethics and corporate social responsibility) concentration is what I am looking at. Thanks for the help.
Hey @McCombsStudent !!
I have a background in oil/energy and I was looking at UTA basically for an MBA with concentration in Supply chain and operations management. I hear a lot about UTA consulting and finance concentrations but not much about SCM and Op Mgmt. So could you please clarify to me how useful the above mentioned concentration is at UTA and the placement aspects. I have a straight choice between Michigan state Uni(Broad) and UTA, and I am evaluating on the basis of the concentration SCM & Ops.
Would appreciate some help. Thanks 😃
