Hi there, and thanks for writing! A couple of points:
- Your post-MBA interests are very broad - it will be important to narrow down to a specific path before you apply to business school, and I would need that info to assess which programs are right for you
- Since you have over 10 years of experience, being accepted to a full-time MBA program could be challenging - you'll have to make a very strong case for why NOW is the right time for an MBA
- If a scholarship is very important to you, given the competitiveness of your demographic I'd target schools outside of the U.S. top 20
Hope that helps a bit - let me know of any other questions or if you have a clearer sense of what you'd like to do short-term and long-term (this will aid in school recommendations)
