Hello:
I was wondering if folks here can help me decide how should I go about doing a full time MBA for myself.
I recently finished my PhD in Business administration from a top 10 university in my country, and have 8 years of work experience- 3 years in business/1 year as an internal audit national level Firm/3 years as a faculty for a top ranked college/now 2 years at (international)prestigious LSE programme as faculty
I have completed my CA (one of the toughest exams in Accounting & Finance) in my country and been a gold medalist all throughout in PhD and university at an international level along with Harvard University youth programmes along with being a university student athlete.
I also have started my own National level E- learning Centre which I will be making an NPO/Trust now. I am also associated with a social entrepreneurship international organisation.
I also am a mentor and speaker and give talks at colleges and institutes
I am starting to prepare for GMAT now and hoping to start applying this year at the earliest.
Now I wish to go into consulting and do MBA
I only want to do full time MBA from top university USA preferably
Also I'm getting offers into corporate now so
1)should I continue as faculty until MBA admissions or
2)leave my faculty job now ,work corporate one year until MBA admissions
My other questions are:
1) How should I go about my journey into a Top full time MBA program in usa
2) I heard MBA values diversity so am I having good chance from a top MBA school
3)How difficult is it to get into consulting/leadership position if I don't have enough corporate work experience and there's been a gap in industry experience before my teaching
2) What GMAT score should I target if I want to apply to top 10 schools?
3) Also, I was wondering if anyone has a take on scholarships, how should I go about applying for these and are there specific ones targeted for individuals with advanced degrees like myself?
Regards
Varun

A: One year of corporate work experience is not going to fundamentally change your profile as an academic, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Also, I am not sure how good it would look to be in a job for just one year. Would you be able to secure a good recommendation later after such a short stint? What accomplishments could you really achieve given the time needed to get up to speed in any organization? You should take on the role because you think you would learn a lot and, if you didn't get into a school of your choice, you could stay there so you could continue to progress in your career.
My other questions are:
1) How should I go about my journey into a Top full time MBA program in usa
A: I don't know what you mean. This is too broad of a question.
2) I heard MBA values diversity so am I having good chance from a top MBA school
A: "Diversity" is a loaded adjective. There are many ways the AdComs consider diversity.
3)How difficult is it to get into consulting/leadership position if I don't have enough corporate work experience and there's been a gap in industry experience before my teaching
A: It is not difficult. You would have to pitch yourself as bringing a an academic/research-based approach. That might actually be advantageous to you as you differentiate yourself from the competition. You would still need to perform in the case study interviews. If you can do that, these consultancies will be comfortable training you on how they like to conduct business.
2) What GMAT score should I target if I want to apply to top 10 schools?
A: It's well known that a 700 is the target minimum. A 730 is now considered an ideal target given the increase in average scores over the years. At a certain point after that, a higher score is not going to make a huge difference.
3) Also, I was wondering if anyone has a take on scholarships, how should I go about applying for these and are there specific ones targeted for individuals with advanced degrees like myself?
A: There are scholarships given by the schools, which are granted to you. You do not typically apply for them. They are based on need and/or merit. As for scholarships for advanced degree candidates - you would need to look for them yourself. Do some digging on the Internet and see if you can identify the qualifications. If you meet them, apply and hope for the best!
