In the US, you will have a difficult chance with those many years of experience and a previous MBA. You might want to check your eligibility with the schools you are applying for since you already have an MBA. Further, not only will you need to justify the need for a second MBA, you will also need to justify why an MBA now would benefit you.

I would suggest checking Europe with those years of experience.

There is no such thing like a safe score...
Your post mba goals should be clear and should be able to relay same to adcom..
Connect with school adcoms and existing students to better understand your fit to program age ans work ex is not a limitation to apply for MBA..

Hi AdityaChauhan85,

I agree with previous posters that your experience level and already having an MBA present some real challenges if you apply to traditional full-time programs, especially in the US schools. I also recommend you look into programs like Stanford MSx, MIT Sloan Fellows, or LBS Sloan Masters. Those are full-time programs geared toward more experienced professionals. There are also Executive MBA programs, which are part-time/weekend programs geared toward more experienced professionals. If you apply to those types of programs, you could take the Executive Assessment (EA) instead of GMAT or GRE.

Hope that helps!

Thank you so much . I am not keen to do part time courses . I am also open to go for MS in Business Analytics or similar courses to strengthen my profile and be future ready . The main idea is to work in US , get a STEM course and get into the international workforce .

To clarify, Stanford MSx and the MIT and LBS programs I mentioned are not part-time, they are full-time. Worth a look! Otherwise, yes you could look at specialized master's programs too. Just be sure to check the post-degree employment stats to make sure they are in line with what you're looking for.
