Second MBA from a Top School

Hi there,

Sounds like you are working on doing your research which is important in a decision like this; I'd encourage you to also research the post-MBA scenarios... for example set up informational interviews with HR at companies you are interested in and ask what a difference certain degrees or schools might make to your profile/hiring potential, compared with what you have now etc, and talk with those in roles you are interested in for advice etc.

Certainly a top-name MBA can help open doors. That said getting a 2nd MBA is not always easy (admissions-wise); yes many schools will technically consider you if you explain why you do need the degree, and it can work out with a strong story... but at the same time, especially at the most competitive programs, you are still competing with other very strong applicants who do NOT yet have the MBA and really make a good case for needing one... so even though a school may consider you, doesn't mean in the end you'll be accepted, depends upon how you stack up vs other strong applicants. Just keeping it realistic.

So continue to consider your options and what you'd most like to go for and decide on a plan of action. Best wishes!
