My two concerns about your profile are your age (10+ years of experience is tricky) and your GMAT score. There's nothing you can do about your experience. It's not a deal breaker, but you will need to just show how your above-average number of years of experience can be an asset to you and your classmates. You also need to be clear about your desire for an MBA and your post-MBA goals.

Fortunately, you are retaking the GMAT so I would focus on that and hope to bump up your score significantly.

When you are ready to put together your application - including your essays - please reach out to us if you need our help.

Hello,

Thank you for your response. I also wanted to know if i should be adding anything more to my profile in terms of extracurriculars.
Regarding my post MBA goals i am looking to work in a skincare/beauty brand as a product/brand manager.
Since I am looking at an industry transition i am focussing on full time courses.
But with my experience is it possible that i could gain the same benefits from an executive MBA also?

With 10+ work experience, Executive MBA is more appropriate. I would suggest that you target higher GMAT score and apply in R2. Also, any kind of profile improvement or showcasing it in depth in terms of extracurriculars would be helpful.

Hello,

Thank you for your reply!

I wanted to know if an executive MBA would help me in an industry/role change? I have usually seen people do executive MBA's to gain growth trajectory in their current industry or role.
Will an executive MBA help me?

Yes, an Executive MBA is a great option for someone with your background. Bear in mind, the program is different in nature. The students are more experienced and are less inclined to pursue career changes. Depending on the structure, it could be part-time on weekends, part-time during the week, etc.

I would strongly recommend you attend a very information sessions (many are online thanks to Covid-19) so you can learn more about what these programs can do for people in your position. You may find that the advantages of attending are nicely aligned with your ambitions or you may realize that it's not a good fit. The more research you do now, the better prepared you will be to make the right decision and put together the stronger application.

If my team can be of help with either or both parts of that process, kindly let us know.
