Hello,
I hugely appreciate your advice and wish all the best to Accepted.com.
I'd like a piece of advice on what European schools to choose and whether I seem to be able to get a scholarship from them, since the issue of finance is tough for almost everyone from the Russian province.
31 yr old, female, Russian.
degree Specialist in Accounting from a local Russian university (they did not calculate the GPA, but I believe it's about 4.0, since I always received highest grades at the exams)
5 yrs in Managerial Accounting, last position Head of MA Department, outlined and led an IT-project supporting management decisions and giving exact numbers about the current financial position of the company.
4 yrs in non-profit as Head of Business Information Department. Organise business events (exhibitions, seminars), liaise with local authorities, business community, other organisations.
simultaneously, 2 yrs of entrepreneurial experience, nothing outstanding, working solely, just lifting up my living standards.
I don't know whether to mention that in the CV.
Almost no international exposure, except e-mails:)
GMAT 690, M47 (79%), V 37 (81%)
My dream is IMD, as their approach transpires even through their website and suits me. (I have been always interested in psychology, as they seem to be.) Yet I know it's a big stretch for me.
What would you say?

MaryMBA,
Your career background looks good, your nationality and gender help you stand out a bit, and your 690 GMAT is a solid one (and, yes, mention your entrepreneurial experience on your CV). So I think you do have a chance at IMD; just make sure you give them your best application: do it right, with good essays, excellent reco letters, etc. I wasn't clear on what your post-MBA goals are so it's hard for me to recommend specific schools, but given your numbers and profile, I think you'd be competitive at schools like Rotterdam (Erasmus), Cass, or SDA Bocconi to name a few. Regarding scholarships, I am not an expert in financial aid, so I can't help you there; you'll need to contact each school and ask. As for how to decide between joint-degree MBAs that are not ranked, I would ask them what companies hire their graduates: that will tell you a lot.
Good luck,
