First, congratulations on planning ahead and realizing that the MBA admissions process is a marathon- not a sprint. So you thinking now about applying in a future year is great. Because it means you have time now to learn what you need so that when you apply you are really ready. First ask yourself where you want to work post MBA. If it is US- then look at US schools. If you would consider Canada- then look there. Europe? look there. So once you have an idea of where you want to work post MBA, then look at for WHAT you want to do, which schools have strong programs. Then look at your GMAT and target programs where you are in 80% range. There is no shortcut for research in this process. One service we offer that could be very helpful to you is our Early Advantage package. We give you 5 hours of counselor time to use the year prior to B school. In the meetings- which happen over Skype and also through email- we do an audit of your MBA profile now- we identify where you are and where you need to be to be competitive at your target schools. I have found that when people take time to do this work upfront- that when they apply they are really ready to go. To find out about that, reach out to us for a free consult at this link: https://stratusadmissionscounseling.com/free-consult/ and then for ideas on how to research MBA programs from afar- read this: https://stratusadmissionscounseling.com ... ram-india/
Without knowing your GMAT score range it is hard to say where you should focus- but for digital marketing in the US MBA landscape, I think of some of the offerings at Wharton, Kellogg, Fuqua, and McCombs just as some places to start looking. Best wishes and let us know if you'd like us to help you in this process!
