Hi everyone, I'm looking to apply to a full time MBA program; honest advice appreciated!
About me: female, 35 years, Pakistani
Education & GPA: 3 year BBA and 1 year MBA from Pakistan, GPA 3.76 AND 3.57 respectively (Graduated at 3rd position in BBA)
Work EX: 11 years in banking, with 3 in UAE (CURRENT)
GMAT: 700 Extracurriculars: not too strong, white belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Target schools: full time MBA at Rotman, Queen's and Ivey (I am unable to identify which, if any US schools make sense for me given my profile in terms of age plus having one MBA degree already - advice needed here too!!)
Why 2nd MBA: first MBA was with zero work ex, and now that i am in middle management, I want to acquire a broader set of skills in strategic thinking and management
Target after MBA: same industry, same function, change of geography from UAE to Canada/US
Thanks for writing here.
Your profile is more suitable for Canadian b-schools. Rotman prefers people with 3-5 years of experience, but Queens, Ivey and Schulich could be a good bet. Settling in Canada is relatively easier given the work authorization rules.
Let me know if you wanna know more. I am based out of Toronto.
