My short term goal post-MBA is to gain global exposure and experience by working in the field of IT/Health care as consultant.
My long term goal is to become a CEO of globally leading company.
The reason for doing MBA is to gain international market exposure, extensive global leaders network and learn sound business practices and finance concepts.

Hi there,

Thanks for your post. So your GMAT looks solid... but I'm trying to identify why NOW is the best time for you to get the MBA? And likely schools would wonder that as well? So did I read it correctly, you have 1 year full time then 4 months with your own company? How is that going? What is your plan for it when you go to school? Have you considered getting more experience first? The average student going in has about 5 years of full time experience...
