I am currently in the process of deciding which schools to apply to for Fall 2014 enrollment. Ultimately I would like the opportunity to have career opportunities working outside of the US post graduation. Unfortunately I currently only speak English (although I'm currently taking Spanish classes at night) so I feel as though I need to focus on working in the UK for now.
I've looked into applying to UK schools but I'm a little concerned about their Visa policy, it seems as though in order to stay a non EU student must have a job offer prior to graduation. Does anyone have any information about the hiring process and likelihood of having an offer prior to graduation from a UK MBA program? Ultimately I would like to attend Said or Judge, but would like info on other schools in case I'm not accepted to either of those. Obviously I want to avoid moving there for school and having to return to the US immediately upon graduation because I didn't have a job offer, not having time to search for a job is an issue.
As for US schools does anyone have any info on which are the best to attend to find international job opportunities? The 2 year US program would also give me time to pick up a second language.
I have an undergrad GPA of 3.3, 5 years experience in commercial banking, and a current GMAT of 710. Any info on schools that I would be competitive for would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
