Hi All,

Brief about me:
Education:- Bachelors in Electronics Engineering GPA:3.5
I am an Indian presently working in UAE as a Marketing Manager for a small firm selling Helipad Lights/Helipads/Cable Management System/Lightning Protection System/Aircraft Warning Lights.
In total i have 12 years of experience in companies like (60 months)Schneider Electric India, Lutron India(30 months), Honeywell India(15months), 24 months in a small Marketing firm in India and 15 months in UAE . I have handled technical ,Training, Business Development,Key accounts , Marketing roles in these organisations.

I was trying for roles in Strategy but was not even considered as i was not having an MBA.
I want to get into Strategy roles but don't have an MBA degree.

Now the question:

I want to do an MBA in Strategy from a renowned B Schools like (Harvard,Stanford,Kellogg,Sloan,Yale,ISB,IIM's). I havent taken GMAT yet but planning to do so Soon. What advise do you people have for me?
1. In terms of B-School?
2. GMAT Score
3. Work experience:-Some people have told me thats way too much experience for entering a B school. Which makes me worried a little. Is this a boon or a bane?
4. Am i eligible for B-Schools for MBA in Strategy ?

Looking forward to your replies. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,

Anupam

your list of schools includes the very best, which might be a reach regardless of your GMAT. It would depend on the quality of work experiences, the narrative you can develop, as well as your volunteer and extra curricular activities. That being said, regional MBA programs might be a better fit for your goals, to move into strategy, assuming you plan to remain in the region you are working. As someone with more experience, you might also consider Executive MBA Programs, or taking the program on a part-time basis. Both those styles of programs tend to attract people who have worked longer. cheers, alex
