Re: Profile evaluation for a Pakistani [#permalink]
Usman,

I would have to agree with MJ2009 that your profile is atypical for an applicant hailing from that region (and I believe he/she meant it in a good way - think diversity)

MJ2009 raises another valid point with about your already acquired MBA qualification. A lot of MBA programs will not even consider your application if you already have an MBA for obvious reasons. I have seen this fact stated very clearly on the websites of some schools. The good thing for you is that Wharton will not hold this against you. I think CBS and Booth website have nothing to say about this so you can make your case there as well (You might want to confirm before applying).

Your Why MBA? argument should be more focused towards Why *another* MBA?. Given the success that you have had, your current argument seems superfluous.

1) Yes
2) These are reach schools for everyone (IMHO, the showing the need to get a second MBA will make or break it )
3) Stern, Anderson (Finance), Haas (Entrepreneurship)

Re: Profile evaluation for a Pakistani [#permalink]
usman88,

You have the makings of an impressive and distinctive profile. As long as you have 2 years of work experience you should be OK applying to all 4 of the programs you mentioned. Understand that European schools generally prefer more work experience than U.S. ones. These are all outstanding, competitive programs that receive many applications from South Asian males, so the odds, even for strong candidates, are not great. Still I would not discourage you from applying. Other strong entrepreneurship and finance programs you could consider include MIT Sloan, Rochester, UCLA, and Berkeley Haas.

Good luck,
