Dear Login2kk,

Consider the following points:
  1. You have a long and impressive career graph. You havent mentioned the reason/rationale for a second MBA and that too at a fairly late stage in your career. That is pretty important to make a reasonable assessment
  2. Many schools in Europe are 12-18 month affairs - the usual suspects are no secret. For US, check out the post here.
  3. Though the GMAT is on the lower side of the usual average - but the bigger issue really is whether a full time MBA at this stage of your career makes sense. Make sure you do that research and are able to convince the adcom as and when the need arises.
Cheers,

I would recommend scratching out Kellogg's one year program that requires a business undergraduate degree (or at least the same coursework completed).

If you have the requisite advanced degree or certification check out Cornell's One-Year MBA (https://www.johnson.cornell.edu/One-Year-MBA.aspx). Emory Gouizueta Business School also offers a one year program (https://goizueta.emory.edu/degree/fullti ... _year_mba/).

Internationally you have even more options. INSEAD is a one year MBA along with Cambridge and other programs.

Good luck,
