So I was dinged. Really badly, all across - Columbia, Tuck and Chicago.
I learnt a lot and would like to thank people like aviroop, bsd_lover, kwam and everybody else who reached out and helped me with my final application (Chicago). It really made a difference and I feel that I wouldn't even have gotten an interview without their help.
After getting my final ding, I was torn between walking away from an MBA and applying again. But after much thought and discussion, I realize that to achieve my short term goals (Internal Strategy/Strategy Consulting), I do need an MBA. Not just for the stamp but also because I don't know enough (which I hope that an MBA will fix).
And so, I'm back for another round of pain and sleepless nights. I've decided to apply again. But here's the question - where do I apply to? Kellogg and Ross look like good bets to be, but I would like to apply to two other schools. Of the schools that I have applied to and was dinged from are Columbia, Tuck, Chicago, Yale. I have no intention of applying to Columbia/Tuck and am not sure how my profile would have improved by next round to get me accepted into Chicago.
So I would like some advice - to where should I apply to? My goals are strategy and entrepreneurship. The only requirement that I have is that I will need some form of financial aid - a loan - for international students. I'm looking at Judge/Said and possible Yale/Duke/Darden.
I come with 6 years of working experience covering entrepreneurship/marketing/business strategy/commercial banking, have decent extracurriculars and an ok GMAT of 710.
So once again GMATClubbers, give me your advice

INSEAD is a possible choice as they have lots of people from consultancies who also go back into consultancy. You could learn from them and build up potential networks.
I'm guessing you speak more than 1 language, so the language considerations for INSEAD shouldn't be an issue for you.

Yeah. I was thinking about Insead. But it's really expensive, 44k euros for tuition alone. And if it's to Fonty, it gets even more expensive. I had to also admit though, 10 months seems like a really short time
