I am scheduled to take GMAT by end of Feb 2011. I have zeroed in to five B-schools I would like to apply to... London Business School, INSEAD, Harvard, Stanford and Columbia. I believe I have a good profile as such.
Academically I have >3 GPA. Have done Chartered Accountancy and MBA from India. Having worked for 5yrs now, I have varied and good experience with renowned MNCs. Also, I have had a good global experience at work. Currently working as a Senior Business Development manager. I have taught business school aspirants at a coaching class (for CAT and GMAT) in India and have also been a part of youth social organization. I also take / conduct corporate training at my organization.
I want to do another MBA (from a global business school) for the following reasons:
- Need for a 'global and scaled up direction' in life
- Would like to build a learning organization at a global level
- Keen interest in mobilizing people and resources to build a vehicle for social change
Primarily need for an MBA arises from the fact that I want to rise from being successful in India to being successful globally. After having some global exposure during the 5 yrs of experience, this realization has dawned upon me... and excellence is what I seek beyond current limitations.
I have a few questions basis above information:
1. Do you think my rationale for a 2nd MBA along with my profile makes it a well considerable proposition for a business school?
2. What should be the minimum GMAT score I should get to want to apply to the b-schools I mentioned?
3. I prefer 1-yr programs, hence would like to focus more on LBS, Insead, however HBS, Stanford and Columbia are 2 yr programs and I will be able to apply only to the 3rd round of application... Should I still apply to these too?
4. Do you think i should consider other b-schools in addition / in lieu of my list?
5. With the large applicant pool from Asia, how would you assess my chances of making it to top 5-10 global business schools?
I have not had much time to prepare for GMAT, hence do not expect extraordinary scores (expect between 650 and 720). But would like to be mentally prepared with whether I should apply to the above business schools and with what minimum scores? I believe I can put up with reasonably good essays and references, GMAT score is my concern though.
Appreciate your views and inputs.[/list]
