I’m not leaving the business but I see an MBA as a way to take it from growth to scale. I’ve built it from the ground up operationally, but now want to strengthen my understanding of finance, strategy, and leadership, and build a network that can help me scale sustainably.

Not understanding this. PGP is a fulltime program and so, I am not sure how one can continue working in that duration.

Are you applying to some other program?

Hi quasipsum,

Keep the break minimal while trying your best to achieve a 675+ on the GMAT.

Focusing on your narrative is equally important; for instance what do you intend to do after the PGP or what you hope to gain from the PGP - all of these will be important as well.

We will be happy to conduct a detailed profile evaluation; please drop an inquiry on https://www.expertsglobal.com/isb-admissions-consulting.

All the best!
