Received admission offer

[rajiv]

Hi Everyone,
I have M.Sc and PhD in Biochemistry from Australian -Tier 1 University with 1.5 years of predoctoral academic research experience and 6.5 years of postdoctoral academic/Industry research experience. Presently, I am working as a Group Leader in a Drug Discovery company in Bangalore, India. Prior to this I have worked in academic labs in US and Australia. I am interested in a career transition within life sciences/ bio-pharma industry from research to life sciences management or consulting.

I have done some research about MBA schools providing GMAT waiver for advanced degree/work exp. I could locate few business schools and after applying to them got admission offer.
1. Durham Business school, UK-I have received admission offer without GMAT scores
2. Rady Business School UCSD-started in 2005, US-I have received admission offer
3. Carey Business School Johans Hopkin- Satrting this year, US- I have received admission offer
4.Hult International Business School-I am received admission offer for San Francisco, Dubai and London campus
5. University of Queensland Business School, Australia- I have received admission offer

-Please suggest me, which one would be the best in terms of reputation, learning etc. Out of these to make a career change within the life sciences industry from research to management, which one u think is the best? Are these 1 year MBA are as good as two year traditional MBA?

-What about the reputation of above schools?
-Can you suggest any other business schools (outside US as well) offering MBA good for life scientist and has high impact ranking?

You feedback would help in deciding my career path.

Thanks,
Rajiv
