Thank you guys for the quick response. Below find some details about my profile.
I have worked with 3 different firms for the last 8.5 years and played roles such as module leader, team leader (team size 8-10) and managing consultant. This includes international exposure of 2 years in Europe and 3 months in US. Also I have brief stint as a trainer, recruiter and looking forward for a double-career change. Since I have some exposure to European culture and industry, I considered the 1 year program mainly in UK, France, Netherlands or Germany. I was responsible for organizing workshops on environmental awareness and blood donation, for arranging auto-expo and cultural events during my graduation. I was also an active member and representative of students in university politics. Post mba I wish to pursue the role of financial advisor or marketing manager. Does a good gmat score will make my profile more competitive?
Good day!
Hey there dude...
so you CAN apply to a one year program if you believe that for personal/financial/whatever reasons this is better for you. But two comments on that 1. It likely WILL be harder for you to actually make that change you propose in a one year program. People DO make career changes from a one year program, and a lot depends on YOUR ability to convince potential employers of YOUR capacity to succeed in this new industry/function. Buuuuuut be aware that you might find yourself falling back upon your "old career". Two: even if this is your TRUE goals, I do not suggest presenting this story to the Adcom as it will make little sense, and probably reduce your chances of getting an accept.
The top few Euro programs (LBS, INSEAD, IMD, IE) might be a bit tough for your profile (although you can always try) even with a GMAt of 730+ but the other European schools might provide you more opportunities. For finance I would privilege schools in England or Switzerland as they have both big finance centers and location counts for a lot.
Hope this helps!!
