Hi crackHSW,

Thanks for posting. For the list you have below, is there a particular school you are considering adding but have questions about? The reason I mention this is I wouldn't recommend you apply to more than 6 programs (because of the time it requires), and you have 9 programs listed.

One thing I strongly recommend you consider is location. Your experience will be very different in New York for example, as opposed to Los Angeles, because the industries and alumni networks are very different.

Cheers,

Conrad and the Stacy Blackman Team

Hi Stacy ,

The program listed are what I think are good for my post MBA plans. the reason I ask you some additional school(s) is I might have missed out some good schools in Europe , schools that are good and fit my post MBA aspirations. Also when you say 6 schools , do you mean all 6 in R1 or 3 in R1 and 3 in R2 with a mix of both Ambi and Safe ones. What I had in mind is to apply to safe schools in R1 and get over the complete cycle in R1, then possibly i could try for R2 with a GMAT retake. Do you suggest a retake for the programs I have listed?

Thanks
