Hi Paul, If you could provide me a feedback of my eligibility to MBA grad school - I really appreciate it. Here's my profile:
Age: 28
Gender: M
Nationality: Filipino-Canadian
Undergraduate Education: Haskayne Business School, University of Calgary, Canada (Oil & Gas specialty)
Post Graduate Studies: Mount Royal College, Calgary, Canada
GPA: Last 10 undergrad: 2.95, Post Grad Certificate: 3.43 Cum.GPA-Not applicable (really low due to excessive partying back in my days)
GMAT: Currently reviewing - targeting above +700
UndergradExperience: Term Abroad Program - Exchange Program in Europe
Languages: English, French (beginner), Spanish (intermediate), Czech
Undergrad Volunteer: AIESEC, International Student Associations, etc.
Interests: World traveler
Professional Experience- +3yrs both employee & Consulting in Oil & Gas Companies here in my city ranging from Junior to Medium trust companies-energy land specialty.
Target Schools: Top 15 European MBA Schools (FT, USA, Economists etc.,Forbes)
My question is, although I did my business undergrad & would like to "internationalize" my business experience since my undergrad specialty is limited to the jobs of my city (therefore lacking mobility in travel) and would like to expand my opportunities globally, is it unusual for someone like me to pursue an MBA with already a business undergrad under my belt?? I've noticed majority of MBA aspirants are coming from strong technical background ie. engineering, sciences etc.
Please advise. I'm seriously contemplating of upgrading my profile status so I can have a decent shot in top European MBA program.
I really appreciate your input on this. Merci.
