Hello, could you please review my profile and recommend bschools?
age: 35
undergrad gpa from unranked NH state school: 3.1 (although 3.7 gpa combined junior/senior years). psychology major.
gmat: taken today, 700 (Q47, V40). Will be notified of AW in 3 weeks.
w/e: 11 years
current position: senior systems engineer at Dell Computers
extra-curricular activities: soccer (several seasons as captain)
volunteering: some, but weak
I have the luxury of a job that allows me to telecommute from anywhere in the world. In addition to bschool recommendations, I would like to hear opinions regarding part-time vs. full-time. Do I have a shot at full time, considering my age? Would love to live/work in Europe if possible.
Thx!

Euro full-time programs are less age discriminatory than their US counterparts, although you'll still be on the older side by a few years compared to many of your MBA classmates in a full-time program in Europe.
As for pros and cons of full-time vs part-time programs, there's a LOT of info on these message boards as well as on other message boards that I won't repeat them here.
In any case, if you're looking at Europe, look at IMD if you want full-time -- the school is unique in the sense that it's mostly older folks (mostly 30-somethings and older, rather than 20-somethings in most full-time programs) doing it full-time. Other schools to look at are LBS, INSEAD, Oxford, Cambridge and the schools in Spain (IE, ESADE, IESE).

Alex,
Thanks so much for your reply. Sorry my original posting was so vague.
If I could ask a follow-up question:
Several of the schools you mentioned are in fact schools I have been looking at (LBS, Oxford, INSEAD, ESADE, Cambridge, IMD). Do you feel that I would be competitive in either the full-time or part-time programs at these schools? Finally, if I were to target U.S. full time programs, would I have a shot at any of the Tier 1 schools, or would I be better off targeting Tier 2?
Thanks again!
