Mates,
I’d like your thoughts on my profile. I’m dilly-dally between (1) Exec MBA or Full time and (2) US or European schools.
If I had it my way, I will head to US and do a full time MBA from top 10 business school. But age and experience is not on my side.
• A/S/L – 34 M London
• Nationality – Indian
• International experience – 3 years Singapore, 2 years Cayman Islands and last 5 years London
• Professional Qualification – Chartered Accountancy from India. Qualified in 2000.
• Post qualification experience of 10 years
• Experience – Auditing international Hedge Funds, Private Equity, Investment Managers
• Employer – Ernst & Young London - Manager Investment Management Assurance Practice
• GMAT score – 730
• Community activities – Trustee of Charity organisation. Organised a number of charity events.
• Academics – excellent record including gold medals/scholarship in competitive exams at Asia level etc etc.
• Aim after MBA – Join a hedge fund/PE house or become an entrepreneur
Let me know what you think of my chances to get in top 10 MBA Full time US program. If you think that is unlikely (due to age, exp etc) then can you suggest some European schools where I have a good chance.
Making dream a reality,
F22 Raptor

I think you're pretty honest with yourself. Given your age and experience, fulltime MBA programs in the top 10 b-school at the States will be pretty slim. You would really have to convince the adcoms why you want it and why you didn't opt for the EMBA. In addition, you're going to have to convince the adcom (and perhaps, yourself) that you'll be able to relate to the younger classmates who can be as young as 22, 23 years old.
I know top b-schools in Europe (LBS, INSEAD, etc.) are more forgiving when it comes to age; in fact, they tend to prefer older candidates. In order to not steer you the wrong way, you should think about where you want to work. I know you wrote down what you want to do post-MBA, but location is important as well. If you want to work in the States, you would want to attend a US-business school. It makes your life easier to opt for that since you'd have the connection already. If you want to work in Europe, then it would make more sense for you to attend a business school in Europe.

Thanks SM.
Slim – hmm I take that means if I am planning to target 5 Bschools applications, I’d be better off focusing my energy on European Schools.
I am a bit apprehensive above EBMA for 2 reasons:
• Not sure how the market perceives it?
• And the content of these courses – hard to believe their claim of having at par curriculum with full time.
1) What are your thoughts EMBA?
2) Do you think (I want a reality check here) – I should stay away from full time MBA and concentrate on EMBA even for European schools.
I’d like to move to US but since the chances are slim of doing a full time MBA from US and travelling across the Atlantic for EMBA classes is not practically possible.. I would stick to Europe.
