with your profile. It is tough applying as a 2nd MBA candidate. Especially if you are already in a Product Manager role, which is a common post-MBA target role for many students. You really have to make a strong case for why you need another degree, and what you'll bring / contribute to the program.
That said, narrowing in on tech-focused programs may help your chances some. Cornell Tech seems doable, if you can maximize your GRE. Note that their average is 321 so I would advise exceeding that to mitigate for the 2nd MBA factor. Otherwise yes, NYU Tech makes sense and I would also consider applying instead to Kellogg's new MBAi program which is completely tech focused.
Hello Team,
I am an Indian male is who applying for a 2nd MBA.
My Profile:
- Engineering from a top 15 school (GPA ~3.5)
- Analyst at Deloitte Digital for 20 months
- MBA from a Tier-1 (top 5) school (GPA 3.05)
- Slightly more than 2 years of work ex post-MBA in the Gaming Industry
>As Product Manager for a well known US Game Developer
>As Strategic Operations Associate at South East Asia's biggest game developer and publisher
Target Schools (in order of preference):
- Cornell Tech MBA
- Kellogg 1 Year MBA
- NYU Stern Tech MBA
- INSEAD
My GMAT score isn't valid because I was admitted through a (2+2) kind of entry to B-school. I plan on writing the GRE this time and expect a score of 320+.
Goals: International/Diverse peer group, Very tech-focused program, International mobility, more opportunities at Big Tech
PS: Scholarship is a big consideration for me - my goals align completely with Cornell Tech and the fact that they offer scholarships is a cherry on the top.
