It's not a problem to have multiple masters degrees and iit sounds like you have some strategic decisions for wanting to go ahead and get the MiM now and the MBA later. B-schools shouldn't hold it against you as long as you stick to a plan, but the best advantage you have is to reach out to Fuqua now that you have been admitted and run your long term plan by them, asking how they might evaluate you for their MBA program down the road. You can also consult with them on the curriculum of the two programs to target the ideal way to structure your classes so that they are not going to overlap, yet will give you what you need to achieve your short term goals.

Re: An MM now or wait for real MBA??? PLEASE HELP [#permalink]
Hi Bryant,

That was a really quick response. Thanks :) And yes, there is a strategic play involved here in that I really think international experience would work so much better in my favour especially since I want to break into finance in a post crisis economy. And it will aid me later if I choose to come back home and/or start something of my own.

I did have a meet and greet with Steve when he was here in India and I did ask him about the what-if-I-want-to-do-an-MBA-later question. He said that the selection will still be cohort based but if I do make it in then any repetitions can be avoided by focusing more on electives and foregoing year 1 core courses if there is a large overlap in terms of coursework covered.

But then, there was a big IF looming over my head and so I reached out. Given this info (and your experience with admissions consulting), do you have any other insights?

Sounds like a plan. B-schools are all about what you bring to the table, so if you can convince them that the skills and knowledge you acquire in an MS program would be advantageous to your classmates, then you're set.
