Hi, this is my first post here but I am not new on the forum, it helped me a lot to get my 710 on the gmat yesterday.
So first, thanks to all of you.
Now, here is my problem.
I am currently in a Top 10 B-school in France, I have just finished my 4th year with good grades that offers me the possibility to do my last year in another B-school and obtain a diploma of both.
Here are my possibilites:
Germany - European Business School
- 600 (GMAT) / 104 (ibt TOEFL)
US - University of Cincinnati - 600 / 100
US - Georgia State University - 600 / 100
US - University of Arkansas - 600 / 80
US- University of Dayton - 580 / 80
UK - Strathclyde Graduate Business School - 550 / 105
UK - University of Bradford - 550 / 93
With the US program I will obtain a MBA, with the others a Master in Management.
What do you think of those MBA and MBM programs ?
And now the real question...
I have three options:
- Do an MBA program above
- Do an MBM program above
- Do 1 semester in Barcelona and my last semester in intership.
I am really confused right now cause I read on the forum that if I do a "bad" MBA I won't be able to postulate for another.
Any advice will be appreciate.
Here is my profile:
French Male 22y
GMAT: 710 (44/42/6)
TOEFL: 117
GPA: 3,6 or more
High School:
I got my High school degree (with international option) in an french international school
Undergraduate:
Equivalent of a Bachelor in Economics in a French university
Graduate:
a top 20 European Master in Management (major in corporate finance, minor: strategic management and value creation)
+ (another Master in Management or Msc ?)
Working Experience:
1 year in the private banking worldwide direction of a Big french Bank.
(I am currently working there during my "gap year")
6 month as wealth manager (internship)
Activities:
Practising taekwondo for 10 years:
- black belt and 2nd dan
- 1st in French University Championship
- 2nd in French Championship
- teaching to kid from 4 to 12 for 5 years
(I had to stop because I had to leave for my studies..)
My hobbies are kind of limited cause I still practise 5 times a week.
Member of the Sport Department in my B-scool
- Captain of the volley-ball team
- Played in the Football Team
What makes me different ?
- First of all, my sport carrier
- I refused to enter in the Taekwondo French Team in order to continue my studies (cause Taekwondo doesn't pay at all in France)
- Maybe my background, I read on an article that the fact both my parents don't have a high school diploma and work as hell to help me paying my studies, could be a positive point to add
My Top MBA ranking:
(Columbia, Wharton, HBS, Stanford, INSEAD)
Why an MBA?
Because I really want to work in private equity but in france if you are not from HEC it become really hard to get an internship... So I think that a Top MBA could help me to break in the private equity area anywhere in the world.
I already had the opportunity to work in collaboration with the Private equity Department for Big clients and hope that during my next 4 year in private banking I will be able to work as much as possible with the Private Equity Department, to gain experience and maybe some contacts to.
Or should I do my MBA next year ?
Can I be a good potential candidate for a Top MBA in 4-5 years considering the fact that I will probabliy have 4.5 years of WE in Private banking as my current boss his really satisfied with my work and wants to keep me in the private bank ?
I know this is a bit long but I tried to be as precise as possible...
thank you by advance
