Hello Personal mba coach,
I would like to share a little bit about my journey,
I'm 33 yo, I have 8 years of experience in renewable energy in France.
I'm a non traditional undergrad, but I juste have finished a master degree with a top business school in France (Emlyon), in parallel with my work. I did that because I have planned to do an MBA in order to switch my career mainly in tech. Currently i work with my GMAT to get above 720.
Can I apply to a top MBA like HSW ? if not, What kind MBA will be the best fit for me.
But it's important for me to get a top MBA because, one day if I return in Europe I need that the MBA can help me outside of The US because of alumni network for example or other.
Thank you for your return .

Hi Yahn,
Thank you for your post and apologies for the delay in response! We work with many folks who already have advanced degrees, as well as those from less traditional backgrounds, and would be happy to help set you up for success.
Currently, you are a bit older than the average applicant at US full-time MBA programs, so you will really want to make sure you explain why an MBA makes sense for you at this stage in your career (European business schools tend to trend a bit older). That said, Personal MBA Coach has helped many applicants with 6+ years of experience get into full-time MBA programs by successfully articulating their goals and career path.
We suggest targeting 5 to 8 schools to maximize your chances of admission. While we work closely with clients to develop their school lists, some initial thoughts beyond HSW that come to mind given your interest in clean energy are Berkeley Haas (take a look at their Energy Institute), Texas McCombs (students can concentrate in CleanTech), and Duke Fuqua (offers an MBA concentration in Energy and Environment).
As for a 720 GMAT, this could work but we would have to know more about your undergrad GPA and other profile elements to evaluate your candidacy more holistically.
Do not hesitate to send a note to [email protected] to further discuss your application strategy! Check out our comprehensive packages to learn more.
Best,
Personal MBA Coach
