The above is my profile in short.

I have keen interest in pursuing my career as a Management Trainee in Marketing/Business Development Group in any of the Aerospace Companies leading to my career goal someday. I have good communication skills and am good at impromptu speaking. Am aware of the basics of B2B marketing since vendor evaluation and cost estimation is part of my job profile. Have co-ordinated with teams from Germany,Singapore,Denmark and Dubai(Basic Designer) for execution of the current project and currently working on 10 projects(valued at 250Mn USD).Since Shipbuilding and Aircraft Industries are very similar in nature and methodology of operation hope to leverage my current experience to meet my goal.I am unsure of how to get started about the same since I am targeting a niche Manufacturing business and a specific profile. Also I am confused between the Clear Cut differences between MSc in Marketing Management and an MBA in Marketing.

Kindly advice for the prospective B-schools based on my profile and career goal. Am targeting Class of 2015(3 years work experience by then). Also kindly advice if taking GMAT by the end of this year targeting a score of 710 should give my profile the required impetus.

Thanks in Advance!
