When do you plan to write you GMAT? I started my preps about a week ago and it requires more hours than I had anticipated. I may take two weeks off work just to cram for the GMAT.
I did look at
magoosh but I prefer books and pdf docs simply because I can read and review those on the go. Let me know if you find
magoosh helpful. I will start my application process shortly, I have not even looked at that process.
Which part of the world are you currently from? I am open to work in any part of the world as long as its something I enjoy doing. In my 8 years of experience, I have come across all sorts of people and the one and most important thing I have learned is to not follow the dreams of others...but rather work to create your own dream.....
PM me your email and maybe we can connect and assist each other with the application process in the near future.....even some tips for the conquering the GMAT.
Good luck with all your studying and applications.
[quote="SergX"]Leaving all fluff aside, I chose IMD and St. Gallen because I would like to work in Switzerland / Europe after.
I am also interested in these two schools because they are industry geared and so I am. I spend most of my career working on large engineering projects, be it constructions or design, installations.
Yeah, just get the GMAT out of the way.
[quote="javksy"]Thank you for the feedback. During the decision making process I did think of q 1 and 2 and hence came up with the MBA plan.
During my research, I also found INSEAD to be the school for consulting and LBS for Finance. Those are two sectors that did interest me in the past but now I am leaning more towards the industry side. I really observe and understand how things are made and can be made better.
I have checked the prereqs for the schools. I will send Adcom and email shortly. I think first this is get the GMAT done and over with.
How is your application process? Why did you choose IMD over Insead? What sector do you want to shift to after MBA?
[quote="SergX"]Happy new year !
Congratulations on your decision ! However I would recommend the following before you decide to pursue an MBA:
1. Why do you want to pursue an MBA? What do you want to get out of it?
2. What do you want to do after your MBA? Where do you want to work? What industry? If you want to go into consulting you are better off going to INSEAD. If you want to go into finance and work in London, you are better off choosing LBS.
3. Have you checked the prerequisites of the schools you want to apply? You can send your CV for a quick profile check to the Adcom and they will recommend whther you should apply ro not
Good luck studying ! I also recommend
Magoosh on top of GMAT
OG.
