However, I really don't have many certificates to back above as I never really cared for them.
Nothing much as far as Social Service is concerned apart from a short stint after my B. Tech....
As I am on the wrong side of 30, I am eager to join a decent MBA program at the earliest..
My preferences are;
1) 1 Year Program
2) Great Career Service ( I will have to leave a respectable and well paid job (in Indian Context)....A College with great career service shall at least help me offset some risk attached)
3) I have a decent experience in My core sector...Energy.. I will be vying for a Mid-level Strategic Management position in Energy sector after my MBA..
4) I am the sole earning member of my family...I am very apprehensive about having a huge financial burden to fulfill my MBA dream.. I shall prefer colleges that may provide decent scholarships...
Based on my research..I have selected few colleges for applying in R-2...
1) LBS
2) IMD
3) HEC
4) SDA Bocconi
5) NTU Singapore
Sent scores to these 5 by default...
I am also considering..
6) IESE
7) NUS
8) Cornell Tech MBA
I would request you to kindly classify these as "Stretch" "Possible" and "Safe"
and also add 4-5 more colleges to the list...
Also...I would like to know whether there are any decent 2yr Programs where I can be a good fit despite my age...
I am interested in W.P.Carey (ASU) but I am quite unsure about it as a brand outside USA...
Thanking in anticipation...and sorry for such a long post
