I ended up at Wharton. 710 GMAT, top 50 undergrad. If you read my previous post, you'll see that I highly recommend the stratus team. PM me if you hav...

Too much to read - try posting less for answers on the forum or consulting a paid consultant.

My advice: Apply to the top 10 USA MBA programs and go if you really want an MBA. With the degrees you have, an MBA from a #10 to 15+ wont really add anything to your credentials.

Cold but true world.

Its just a little more content you need to get past the next hump. May I also suggest asking Mitch to teac...
