Work Experience : For three years I have been teaching English in rural Japan on an international exchange program run by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs ... For the last two years I've managed to work my way up to being the regional adviser on the same program. In the same time I've gone from zero to moderately fluent Japanese. I've passed the highest level of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test.

Extracurriculars: My whole life here in Japan feels like an extracurricular activity. Been heavily involved in the community and promoting international exchange. Everything from Japanese archery to speaking at the local rotary club.

Career goals : Either finance or general international business. Either way focused on Asia, particularly Japan.

So I'm wondering what you think of my chances here. I have a 660 on the GMAT, 3.2 GPA, and no business experience. However, I think I have interesting work experience and have a proven ability to adapt to a foreign environment.. I want to get into international business so I am hoping that side of my experience stands out the most in my application. I also have strong letters of recommendation lined up. So tell me what you think. What other range of schools should I consider?

Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion on Thunderbird. Looks like it might be a good fit for me.

What do you think about HKUST?
