Oops! Sorry for replying so late.

As you have plans of joining your family business post MBA, I would look for special MBA programs rather than traditional ones.

Columbia's Acceleration MBA or even Kellogg has one similar programs (sorry I forgot the name but you can get it from website)
they are compressed programs where you don't have to deal with ^recruitment pressure^.

Or other option is look for full time MBA programs with Entreprenuership as speciality/concentration.
eg. Babson college.

Hi mani234,

I agree that an accelerated program is a good option for you, since you will not need an internship. I would suggest looking in Canada and Europe - schools like Oxford and HEC offer shorter MBAs and are also affordable.

I would try to improve your GMAT and make sure you have some extracurricular involvement to strengthen your overall profile if you are considering Columbia and Kellogg.

Good luck!

Amy

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
