Thank you Linda for the responses. I am genuinely interested in pursuing an EMBA program at this stage and can benefit greatly. However, most of the schools I have contacted (including the ones that say they will accept previous MBA candidates) are very discouraging. They are raising the bar quite h...

So how do I address this?
hi Thanks Linda. So, how do I address this? If I want to pursue further studies, why am I being penalized for having a 3rd tier MBA on my resume? How can I convince the schools that I am very very interested in pursuing another MBA? The fact that I have a prior MBA is becoming a huge liability whene...

Wharton or Booth with Low Quant Score
Thanks Lisa for the encouraging words. If I try in another month or so, I may be able to get 49 in Quant and about 40 in verbal and possibly boost my score to 730 or so. But not sure if it is worth spending time on getting additional 30 points or focus on writing the essays etc. Any advice? Thanks M...
