Thinking about an EMBA? I currently run the firm MBA IVY LEAGUE, and am a former Harvard admissions interviewer and a Harvard graduate. Happy to answer any EMBA specific questions, though I do focus primarily on the top U.S. schools.

Hi MBAIvy,
I'm a H1B candidate working for an IT firm here in US and I'm aspiring to pursue MBA in Finance.
Currently I'm preparing for GMAT but not sure whether to go for EMBA or Full time! Really appreciate your guidance.
Here are my details -
Bachelors in Engineering - 4 GPA
IT experience in ERP Technology - 5+ years.

Thanks
PKs

Hi, the EMBA is really for people who are already at the executive level, and manage a department or bunch of people. It sounds like the full-time MBA is really what you need, unless I misunderstood the above.

Hope that helps!

I work for a multi-national, the reputation of the school matters a lot, I am looking for a top ranked school EMBA which is not only known in US but around the world as well since I'm targeting an international career... I am contemplating a few schools (preference is on the ones which can grant GMAT exemption or require no GMAT)...

If you were in my shoes which schools would you pick? would be good to know in which order do you rank them...

Oxford
Cambridge
LBS
IMD
Chicago Booth
LBS-Columbia joint program offers best of both worlds (well recognized in US and UK/ EU) but I think they don't grant GMAT exemption....

For some reason I am not too convinced about McCombs, Duke Fuqa or Ross (Michigan)... not sure where you see them as compared to schools above...

Hi, I am not completely sure which schools are GMAT exempt, so you will have to do your research, but in terms of international reputation, post-MBA, I put Oxford and Cambridge at the top of the list, with LBS and LBS /Columbia joint a close third. So:

Oxford
Cambridge
LBS
LBS joint with Columbia
IMD
Chicago Booth

Hope that helps answer your question.

What is the typical duration of the EMBA programs in top B-schools. I have 9 years of entrepreneurship and aged 33. Looking for top 20 business schools in US. What GMAT score range would be more appropriate to target?

Program length varies between 20-24 months. While I would want to know more about your specific profile in order to give you a target GMAT score, most applicants should target a score north of 700. How much higher than 700 depends on how high of a program you are targeting and your background. Some schools also do not require the GMAT. For instance, Wharton, Columbia, and Berkeley Haas require GMAT but you can apply without the GMAT to Booth, Kellogg, UCLA Anderson, NYU Stern, Michigan Ross.

Feel free to contact me directly to discuss your specific situation, identify the best programs for you, and review how I can help you get in! scott@personalmbacoach.com

Best,
