Hi everyone. I'm new to this MBA game and kind of poking around to see what my options are.
About me: I'm a 26 year old female from the U.S and looking to use an MBA as a way to transition to working in management (strategy) consulting on a global scale (with a particular interest in emerging markets like Eastern Europe, Asia, and Latin America).
My background:
3.4 GPA in undergrad-International Affairs major. Had some coursework in macroecon, international trade and finance, and stats.
No GRE score yet (plan on taking it in winter and spring)

Work:
~1 year as a consultant at the United Nations, working on capacity building
~2 years as a Peace Corps volunteer in Ukraine--worked in development and TEFL. Focused a lot on developing strong project design management skills for business professionals and teachers in my community. Also won and implemented a few small grant projects. Served on a committee that analyzed and approved volunteer grants for projects related to business dev.
~1.5 years (current job) working for the federal government. I work with HR departments to ensure compliance with federal law. If they are in violation, negotiate settlements. Won a few performance awards.

When poking around, INSEAD really stood out to me, but what other schools are there?
