Dears,
Thank you first for taking the time reading my request.
I do not want to be verbose in presenting my profile.
Of course I am more than keen on providing more details (CV, personal/professional achievements, leadership experiences, career goals etc ..)
Profile summary :
I applied to a full time MBA at LBS , as I would have preferred this format in line with my career objectives, but it did not work out. I am happy to share my application and discuss my assessment of why I was not retained.
I am now evaluating various Executive MBA programs (LBS, INSEAD, IE).
To that regard, I would love to hear about your advices, ultimately find a partner in crime to tackle the various applications.
Best regards, and thanks again!
Eldridge

Hi Eldridge,
Thanks for sharing your background! Given the information that you have provided, I do think that you will be competitive at the EMBA programs that you are targeting. The most important question that you will need to answer as you craft your applications is why you are seeking an EMBA at this point in your career (given that you have progressed quite well professionally). You have mentioned in your post that you have a few career objectives, and so you will have to very clearly state why the EMBA will get you to where you'd like to go. Also, each EMBA program will want to know why that particular program is best suited for you as it pertains to your goals.
I've successfully worked with other EMBA candidates in the past - if you'd like to discuss further through a free consultation, please feel free to contact me at info@ivygroupe.com or https://www.ivygroupe.com/contact.
Best,
Shaifali
