Kiara, your profile is impressive and warrants consideration from most MBA programs on your list. However, the description of your career trajectory and growth progression in the last 11 years is not clear as it should be. For example, top MBA programs will look differently at someone who has been in the same division in the same company for 11 years versus someone who has demonstrated growth in a variety of roles across the same or different set of companies. Depending on which scenario resonates with your case, you should then focus on a more targeted set of schools.

Applying to too many schools can be overwhelming and detract from effective networking and application preparation. A focused approach on 5-6 targeted schools, split evenly between Round 1 and Round 2, is recommended for the best chance of success. The IIM A program would be an excellent fit for you. So if you prioritize India as a post-MBA destination, you can cut many schools from your list while retaining aspirational options such as Kellogg's 1-year MBA, HEC Paris, and MIT Sloan Fellows (just saying!).

With 11+ years of experience, it's likely that some 2-year programs on your list will have reservations about admitting you. If you prefer a two-year program, it's important to clearly communicate your reasons, such as your desire for a more paced MBA experience or your goals to prepare for a new industry/ new job market.

Since you are interested in Schneider and sustainability, I also want to apprise you about another great leadership track which is the Siemens leadership track. They hire from INSEAD and LBS but do check the pipeline for HEC Paris with the career center there. Siemens seeks individuals with experience in the energy and manufacturing industries, and your extensive experience in this domain, will give you an advantage. This program is designed to develop future leaders who can drive the company's sustainability agenda and make a positive impact.

You can check out the Siemens CEO Leadership program for more information: https://new.siemens.com/global/en/compa ... unity.html

Feel free to reach out should you need professional guidance

Hello Kiara,
Your profile appears to be competitive for admission to the MBA programs listed. You have a strong GMAT score and a high GPA, as well as 11 years of work experience in supply chain management, which is a desirable field for MBA programs. The fact that you have worked for the world’s largest coal-producing company may also make you stand out as a candidate.

Furthermore, your desire to transition to a more innovative and sustainable organization such as Schneider Electric aligns well with the values of many MBA programs. It shows that you have a clear understanding of their career goals and how an MBA can help them achieve those goals.

Additionally, your background in non-profit and government sectors could bring a unique perspective to the classroom and add diversity to the cohort. Lastly, the goal of leading a sustainable supply chain company is ambitious and aligns with the values of many MBA programs.

Overall, your profile appears to be a strong candidate for admission to the MBA programs listed. However, it is important to keep in mind that admission to top MBA programs is highly competitive and involves a holistic evaluation of an applicant's profile, including their essays, letters of recommendation, and extracurricular activities.

Hey Kiara2023,

You have got some solid experience and test scores which make your overall profile pretty competitive. With 11+ years of experience by the time you pursue your course, you will probably not be doing enough justice to your tenure and experience with the conventional 2 year MBA program. Most of the 2 year MBA pipeline is for early to mid career opportunities and I feel that with such solid experience in supply chain it will be better to shortlist programs that target slightly higher age candidates and thus tend to feed them to mid / high level executive positions.
Talking about your strong desire to be a part of the sustainability functions, most organizations are making their supply chains green due to investor activism and their sustainability commitments. ESG/Climatech/ Sustainability are particularly strong themes in the European markets, even more than the US, thus some good EU schools will probably be really good bets for your future aspirations. Additionally, EU schools tend to have a higher median age than their US counterparts which will make them the perfect fit for your profile. Please don't limit yourself to one organization, there are multiple themes going on such as traditional O&G giants such as Shell, BP pivoting to Renewable Energy (in fact they have reduced their conventional hiring and are more focused on RE), there are boutique consulting firms that focus on green supply chains, multilateral financing organizations that are looking for green skillsets, traditional logistics firms such as Amazon. Thus, you will have a wide variety of options to pursue your sustainability aspirations.
Coming to the schools, LBS, INSEAD, Oxford-Said, IMD, HEC can be really good options.

Since a lot of the US recruiting happens through the summer internship pipeline, there can be some challenges in convincing traditional corporates to recruit you and thus you may end up being limited to Consulting and Big Tech with your experience.
