KF(UNC) or new school or wait for another year?

by Sul » Thu Dec 17, 2015 6:23 pm
Hi members,

I am in an extremely complicated situation. I got a KF admit last week without scholarship and I am not sure if I should go ahead and join it.
My earlier aim was to go to a top 15 business school, however, I could not convert any of them given my low GMAT score of 710. I have already applied thrice to business schools over last 3 years with only success this time around.

My profile in a snap shot:

Age - 30
GMAT - 710
WE: ~6 years with MBB
Stats: Male, Engg+Eco

Goal : Get back to MBB

I wish to know whether I should let go off KF and apply to other 2 year MBA program in low rank business school ( hoping to get a scholarship since I am already not going to get into a top MBA program and hence difficult to crack MBB) or should I wait for another year to up my ante on GMAT score? Also, I would like to know my chances to crack INSEAD ( this being just the right kind of brand name & program that I need at this point)?

Thank you so much for your advice!!!!!

Really need your help guys

Sorry, I'm a bit confused. You are already working at MBB, but want to go to school to crack into them? Are you saying you are in a back office type of function and you want to move into consulting, but can't without a MBA? If you are already in consulting, then why wouldn't you just stay there? If you can clear up your background a bit I can probably give you better advice.
