Hi,
I am an Indian male aged 28 having close to 4 yrs experience as a business analyst in IT. I have a confusion regarding approach towards pursuing an MBA/masters abroad which will help me switch my profile and boost my career prospects. Now I have already done an MBA from a descent institute in INDIA (ICFAI BUSINESS SCHOOL HYDERABAD) and one of the best for finance courses. Now I had started preparing for GMAT in march not thinking about which specific universities or course I would like to pursue. But recently due to some issues regarding my workplace I had left preparation for 1.5 months. I had completed a fair amount of course material. Now I am confused which course I want to or I should pursue and from which university. I thought of getting back to preparation and writing the GMAT in another two months but I think I will be rushing too much and also wouldn't be able to meet most deadlines so decided to apply for 2018 session.Also i would get time to get more experience and probably add value to my profile. Kindly guide if I have a chance to appear for next year's session based on time taken to write GMAT and admissions? Also what is the best approach shall I first decide on the course and university and then get back to GMAT preparation or write the GMAT and then research about programs and universities?

Hi there,
A couple of thoughts here...
-It can sometimes be tough to get a 2nd MBA if that is indeed what you are aiming for; be sure you check whether it is even considered at the schools you apply to, and you'll have to really make a strong case for WHY you need the additional degree. At the most competitive schools, it can be tough to be admitted over someone who does NOT have an MBA already, fyi.
-Timing--- Round 1 would likely be tough to do a quality job with if you still feel you need a lot of GMAT prep and haven't started anything. Not impossible, but quite tough. Perhaps Round 2 would work, or the following year when you have more time to research programs and your career plans etc!! In that case I'd do GMAT first and get that under your belt.
Keep us posted and good luck!
