Hi,
Am Sushuma N., from India.
I have 4 years of work exp with 2 years as a communication skills consultant, and the recent two years as an assistant manager, production planning at a jewellery firm. I have also been volunteering at an NGO as a content editor parallely for the past 5 months now.
I already did an MBA in operations management to get a career change but from an institute which isnt known, and it did not instill much knowledge regarding entrepreneurship as I wish to start an NGO 10 years down the line. The gap of 10 years is to gain appropriate experience, contacts, and the capital required.
Am planning to give GMAT this month, and want to know which colleges I can get through. I have been getting a score of 680 to 690 in MGMAT exams.
Regards,
Sushuma N.

Hi Sushuma,
Thanks for posting. It sounds like you have some interesting work experience, and communications skills are valued at b-school and in the business world of course so that is a plus in your profile. The biggest immediate challenge is the fact that you already have an MBA degree. It is very difficult for someone to gain acceptance for a 2nd MBA degree.... you are competing against many qualified applicants who do NOT have an MBA yet and most schools would choose them over someone applying for a 2nd degree of the same type. If you are set on going for it/giving it a shot, be sure you really focus on WHY you need this degree vs the prior one, with compelling reasons. You may want to look at schools outside the top 15-20 for best chances. Good luck on the process and keep us posted!

Thank you for your suggestion. Yes, I need the second MBA to start an NGO and for which I need better connections, research, entrepreneur skills, and leadership skills. The previous MBA was for career change, and from a college which is not so great in the aspects as per my needs.
I encourage you to speak with others who have followed a similar path if possible. Good luck!
