Hi,

I am an engineering graduate from India (graduated in 2004). Have 12 years of work ex now. In London since 2009. Worked in India 2004-2009 Aug.
And IT Consultant all 12 yrs.

CAT 2007 - 97.3%ile
- Admit from MDI PGPIM Course (Did not join)

CAT 2008 - 98.6%ile
- Interview calls from IIM L and IIM B: Refused post GD/PI

Took GMAT in 2007 - got a score 700:
- ISB Hyderabad invited for f2f Interview (at Hyderabad ISB Campus), refused.
- Kelley (USA) invited for telephonic interview, refused.
- ISB Hyderabad invited the following year (2008) again for f2f interview (In New Delhi), refused.

Gave up MBA dream, moved to UK and here since Aug 2009. Am a naturalised British Citizen now.

Now want to pursue the dream one more time. Qns:
- At 35 is it too late?
- eMBA makes more sense as have a family and cant afford to not earn and pay the tuition fees for MBA.
- Target School: London Business School (wanted to do 3 yrs ago as well from LBS, but then didnt apply).
- In London: Manhattan or Kaplan are better for GMAT classroom prep: I can prepare on my own. But a classroom might add an edge, will also meet new people and MBA guide consultants.
- I am an Oracle (ERP) Consultant, working as an IT Architect/Lead Designer in one of the banks in London.

Hi there,

Thanks for sharing your information with us. An EMBA or a PTMBA may make sense, but what do you hope to achieve? Do you see yourself staying within your current organization, or do you have another firm/role in mind?
