Dear if you can afford then focus on LBS and INSEAD. These business schools are famous all over world and average salaries of fresh graduates is above US$110,000 plus. Do your level best to get admission in only top ranked business schools, if you wan't to reduce payback period and increase ROI.

I have 10+ years of exp and hence am targeting 1 year MBAs, so mostly conc Europe and Canada. Currently am in process of applying to Insead for their Jan 2012 intake, R2. I may in due course apply to ESADE, Ivey (Canada) etc. I am in 2 minds about LBS due to the duration.

Thanks for the tips on Sentence correction.I am currently working with Manhattan SC book and also working on the OG-12 and OG 2nd edition problems that are at the end of each chapter in the Manhattan book.What i wanted to Understand is are these SC questions on the OG representative of the actual test.For Example for most of the questions i am able to use the 2/3 split and then figure out in what context the error is may be subject -verb or modifier etc...Can we rely on applying the 2/3 rule on the actual GMAT and what is your opinion on the standard of questions asked there?
I think most of the questions have the 2/3 split in choices. Though this may be enough to narrow down, thats not sufficient to answer the question. With respect to SC I found the questions, relatively tough cause that was my weak area in Verbal. I am a non-native English speaker and I believe this is natural. If its the same case with you may also find it tough.

Congrats for a great score. Do you know after how many weeks of preparation did you appear on the first test ? I mean the first CAT ?

Thanks voodoo_child. I appeared on my first PAPER test after about 1 month of prep. After another 2 weeks I appeared for my first Kaplan CAT.

Nikhil

I have similar work experience and plan to do 1 year MBA course. I am yet to give my GMAT though.
Did you consider IMD at all? Do let us know on your experiences with the application process.

Madhunara,

I will keep you all posted.

As for IMD I will be applying but if required for the next class. My preference is INSEAD.
