Hi there,

Are you asking about overall application strategy I assume? Or GMAT prep? Certainly I encourage you to consider a reputable GMAT prep program. Otherwise it's time RESEARCH and BRAINSTORM in prep for applying. Know your own reasons for applying and your post-MBA goals... research career options if needed. Research SCHOOLS in-depth and confirm your school list, then know each school you are applying to inside and out so you can demonstrate why that school is best for you. Review application essay questions and start brainstorming for your answers to the essay questions. Start thinking about who you'll ask to do your recommendations. Work on your resume.

Keep us posted on questions and how we can help!

Sure thing, it's a great time to work on school research and selection, and there are many factors to consider (length of program; geographic location; class size; curriculum strengths; employment statistics; class culture, etc). I do recommend that you check out our free download on choosing schools, at https://info.mbamission.com/Selecting-Yo ... ram-E-Book.

In terms of one year vs two year, there are a lot of considerations as well. Generally more of the top programs are 2 year, vs one year; so certainly a 2 year is fairly standard and allows plenty of opportunity to take a variety of coursework, get involved in a lot of different projects, definitely partake in an internship, network a lot with classmates, etc. A one year program will generally be less overall cost, if for no other reason than it's not sacrificing 2 years of salary in the workforce. But it's also important to look at ROI and expected salary and role after specific schools and see what makes sense to you. In some cases one year MBA programs can be a good option for those who are less in need of the internship; who are returning to a prior company or a family business; who don't need much if any time to 'explore' and try things out during b-school. But that being said, many one-year programs DO still have an internship, and take more than half the # of classes of a 2 year program, it just might be a bit more intense.
