I am based in W. Africa and looking to return here once completed. I am looking at doing 1 year program in Europe (UK, France, Switzerland, Netherlands, or Spain mainly) I am interested in Non-Profit/Social Enterprise work.
Here are my stats:
-5.5 years Work Experience (2 years in management)
-2.6 Undergrad GPA (3.4 average over last 3 semesters, deans list)
-640 on practice GMAT (Taking first official this month)
-Board member of pretty acclaimed INGO in Africa
I missed a lot of the deadlines when I finally got serious about doing this, so I applied to Hult because I saw they were still accepting and I really liked the school when I initially looked it (even though seems everyone else here **** on it).
I was conditionally accepted (pending satisfactory GMAT), but eventually decided to turn down the offer so I could apply to additional schools.
So....rate me. What tier should I be shooting for? I'm open to applying to about 5 schools, inlcuding re-applying to Hult, partially as a safety, but also because I still really like them!!

Might look at Oxford Said, would still look at Hult, and I'd look at INSEAD too. See more info below about some non MBA programs with a non-profit focus also. Best wishes to you.
Also consider this program here: https://www.masterstudies.com/Master-in ... many/ICRM/ along with a good article about programs with a non-profit emphasis here: https://www.masterstudies.com/Masters-D ... PO/Europe/

@@StratusMBACounselor Thank you! It can be read either way, which I think tell you a lot about a person. I like you!
I think you are being overly optimistic with the suggestions however. While INSEAD/Said are both on dream school lists, I think it would be very silly to only apply to school of that caliber when you look at my GMAT/GPA. Looking for more...realistic options.
I love Hult because they are so directly engagaed in the field, but when you look at the reputation and cost for value of the degree I'm walking away with, it's very hard to consider it a top option, so it is stuck as a Safety.
Looking for some suggestion in the middle ground. Even if there is not a direct focus on SOCIAL entrepreneurship, if there is a strong Entrepreneur focus in the MBA, that may be something to consider as well.
