Hello,
I am 34 years old with 10 years of experience in Banking (Trading). I already have an MBA from IIM Calcutta and now wish to give a global boost to my career. I am considering IMD, Cornell (1yr MBA), MSx at Stanford, MIT Sloan’s Fellows Program and Kellogg (1yr MBA). My GMAT score is 670 (Q51, V29, IR 7 on 8) and 680 (Q50, V29 IR 4 on 8), which GMAT score I should apply with? Do you think its worth applying to these colleges given my profile and GMAT score?
Also I have some concerns about studying anywhere in the EU, since the work permit etc have become very tricky I heard. I surely do not wish to come back to India and work after making this investment.
Thanks and regards
SM

I would say you are applying to some pretty tough programs so your GMAT may be a bit low but that aside where do you want to work post-MBA? That should greatly influence your approach here. Most of these are global programs but even the most global of programs have greater career influence in their immediate geographic region

Hi SM,
Other than your GMAT score, making a case for 2nd MBA is going to be challenging for you. Many schools are skeptical about the need for a 2nd Masters degree in business and in your case, you already have it from a pretty good Indian institute; plus 10 years of industry experience too. You might have strong reasons- and that is good- but just be aware its going to be tough to convince the Top B-schools you have mentioned.
Since you do not want to go back to India, another aspect you should consider is the employability after 1-year MBA. If you are already not in the US and do not have a network here, getting a job after 1-yr course (without an internship) is going to be difficult. Many 2-yr program students also struggle.
Given your score and goals to stay in the US, you might want to consider applying to schools in the range top 30-50. I know I don't have good news for you, but this is a candid feedback based on my first-hand experience studying and working in the US for last 8 years.
Hope this helped.
