How much does work experience matter for MS?

One of the most common questions we have encountered among applicants is about work experience. Remember, we are talking about MS and not MBA.

I will work for two years and then apply to get into better schools
I did not receive the admission into my desired school, so I’ll wait and join a job and then reapply
I want to go immediately after college and not wait for work experience
I have five years of work experience, should I apply for MS at all or only consider MBA?

Testimonials

Nistha was very helpful in giving advice about sop. She also organised webinars regarding internships which were quite helpful.

Shravya, CMU MSIN, Gatech, UCLA (CS)

Nistha is an awesome person. Always up to help you and guide you. Thanks Nistha for so many SOP reviews. I don’t think, it would have been possible without your help and guidance.

Shilpi, Stonybrook (CS)

Nistha’s forte is understanding and looking at things on the lines of any US Adcom. So make maximum use of that! So the one important factor I considered while taking her services is that, unlike any other service provider, she is the one who does all the application related work all by herself. So with I guess almost 8 years of experience of doing this, she has seen many candidates so she’s now in a position to better say what’s expected of certain schools and that’s crucial since nothi… Read more

Nistha is very professional in her approach. Genuinely interested to help you to present your best aspect. She directs and helps you to think hard about why do you want to pursue the program – this makes your SOP original and not inspired from hundreds of SOP templates out there. Dissatisfied with multiple consultancies in past, I was very skeptical before joining Scholar Strategy, but a conversation with Nistha and her straightforward nature, convinced me to sign up – I am glad I did. I got an … Read more

Vishwas, CMU (SE)

Nistha is very critical with the SOP and the LORs. She pushes students to get the best out of them. This might sometimes suggest hectic and students might feel that whatever they’ve already written would be enough. But, trust me, Nistha knows what is correct. She has been in this industry for a quite a while now. Nistha pays a lot of importance to the fact that the overall profile including resume, SOPs and LORs are an important aspect to the college application. Merely having a good GRE/TOEFL w… Read more

Tushar Krishna, CMU MISM, Dartmouth MEM

Nistha was really helpful and guided me through out my application process. Right from university shortlisting to writing SOPs and LORs, her guidance was very useful. Her reviews and comments were straight-forward and meaningful. She was very approachable and was always available for assistance. Overall I would like to thank Nistha for her counseling throughout my application process and would recommend her to all my friends. see Divya’s blog on her late application here.

Divya, ASU (MSBA)

I would like to thank Nistha for her guidance and support during the application process. The brainstorming and one-one sessions were very helpful and I cannot thank Scholar Strategy enough.

Avinash, UMN EE

Nistha is really amazing at what she does. Since she’s been through it all herself, her advice and feedback is very practical and we can relate to it. She “gets” us 😉

Akshata Mohan, UT Austin/CMU (Business Analytics)

Nistha was introduced to me by a friend. I trusted my friend and have never looked back. Nistha is very professional and supportive. She has vast experience and transparency. If you are looking for honest advice and are ready to work hard, she can be a go to person to navigate you through the tedious process.

Sahil, Columbia MSBA, TAMU, CMU, Washington (MIS)

The best thing about the SOP reviewing was the to-the-point feedback and I am really thankful to Nistha for her excellent advice and reviews. Also, the SOP preparation call along with the mastermind sessions were really good and helpful. Learned a lot from Nistha’s experience and guidance.
