Target Year - 2017 Jan
Target Colleges -
1 year MBA programs in Europe.
Based on some prelim research I have shortlisted
1. INSEAD
2. HEC
3. IMD (Provided that I would be able to get the funding)
4. Warwick
5. ISB Hyderabad
Why A Re-MBA?
Want to move into portfolio management and equity research
My major concerns are-
1. Is my profile adequately matching the B-Schools I am targetting? or do i need to move further down in ranking or maybe consider a re-take at GMAT.
2. around 70% (average) funding has to be arranged via loans and scholarships.
3. Please suggest any other suitable 1 year prog if I am missing out.
Thanks & Regards
You have a decent chance at those schools, though retaking the GMAT and adding 20-40 points would certainly improve your chances. I recommend adding some other programs such as Oxford Said and Cambridge Judge to the list, and depending on your GMAT retake you could re-evaluate. Good luck and let me know if you would like help with your applications:
