<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I am studying at a German university and currently completing my Bachelor's degree in Information Systems (basically a mix of computer science, economics, business administration and several special Information Systems classes). I am about to apply for an exchange program which would allow me to spend a certain amount of time during my graduate studies at an American university. </p>
<p>Now I have two options:
(1) apply for a double degree program at Georgia Tech, which would give me an MBA from Georgia Tech and an MS in Information Systems from my home unversity
(2) apply to Rutgers (New Jersey) and spend one or two semesters in the Information Technology program there. This would give me no degree from Rutgers, however (only MS in Information Systems from my home university)</p>
<p>My undergrad grades so far have been very good but they're not anything special either (unfortunately we don't receive rankings, but I estimate that I am still among the top 5%). I have spent a year at an American high school, so language is not really an issue. I recently took the GMAT and got a 780 (q50, v47, AWA 6.0). Unfortunately, I have no work experience at all (I am 23).</p>
<p>So now my question is: based on the little information you have on me, is there any reasonable chance that I will be admitted into the MBA program at Georgia Tech without work experience? And if there is, would I even want that or would I be lost among all these 30-35yo people and not really benefit from the program as much as I possibly would in 5 or 10 years after getting some real world experience first?</p>
<p>I have been pondering this question for a while now and talked to people in Germany, but I would like to get some insight from people who actually know what they're talking about. Maybe you can help me out. Thanks in advance!</p>
