Hi Gaurav,
Thanks for the info. I am 35 years old already and have limited options to apply. GMAT 680 and more than 7 years of entrepreneurial experience in founding and managing a cleantech startup in the thermal engineering space.

1. Stanford Msx/MIT sloan fellow

3. Stern Tech/ Cornell Tech MBA
4. Emory 1 year
5.CMU Tepper
6. Foster

STEM is important since I come from India. MIT has taken the lead and waved off the GMAT completely.
What are your views on the same and on the above list of schools?

Hi Aniriddha
I was incorrect. Please refer to below communication from MIT Sloan regarding standardized test scores.
Standardized tests, such as GMAT, GRE, EA, TOEFL, IELTS, are a component of the application and play an important role in our holistic evaluation process. However, in view of challenges brought about by the coronavirus pandemic, we will allow candidates for the 2020-21 admission cycle to submit their application without the test; we will review their submitted material as is and without negative inferences. If admitted, candidates will not be required to take the tests.
Additionally, applicants are welcome to submit other pieces of evidence, such as expired test scores (GMAT, GRE, EA, etc.); MITx MicroMasters, CORe, edX, MBAMath, or any other non-degree coursework completed; or certifications earned such as CPA, ACCA, CFA, etc.; all of which may assist the Admissions Committee in its evaluation process.
Also, you might want to look at European schools if you are interested as they have a slightly older student base.[/quote]
Hi Gaurav,
That's right.MIT has taken the bold step of waiving off the GMAT completely just as Harvard did in the 80's.
St Gallen, Mannheim and Said business school are my options in Europe. Most of the other such as Judge, Imperial,Esade, iese need younger students.
I am skeptical about Alliance Manchester. Have you spoken with their alumni ?
