Hi,
I had posted last year regarding the mid-career MBA options for experienced professionals. I'm posting again since I now have a GRE score(310-159V,151Q). I have close to 12+ years of experience in economic research and banking, with an MSc Economics from LSE. I have worked in India throughout my career and now want a change in geography, but would want to continue working in banking and financial services. I'm currently working as a country risk expert for a bank in India.
I feel this is the right time to do an international MBA, now that I'm financially and professionally more sound and able.
I came across the following programmes which do admit students with over 12-13 years of experience in full time MBA -
1. MIT Sloan Fellows
2. MSx Stanford
3. Nanyang Fellows MBA
Although my verbal score is fine, my quant score on the GRE is on the lower side. However, I have high first division in my undergrad in Economics Hons from Delhi University and have sufficient work experience in quantitative domains.
Should I go ahead with my applications for the above programmes with this GRE score? I really don't want to re-take the GRE just for the quant score.
Thanks!

The GRE score is definitely not great. But there are ways to make up for it. For example: the MSc Economics from LSE is a strong point. IF you can showcase very strong leadership aspects in your personal and professional experiences, that will add a lot of value. The programs you've chosen are right for your experience level and needs.
Admit Expert recently got an interview invite for the MIT Sloan Fellows program for a candidate with 11+ years of experience. It might be noteworthy that she applied with a test waiver. She has finished the interview and is awaiting her results.

Hvat, a few thoughts on your profile evaluation and plans with some queries/things to ponder on:
Hope this helps some.
Cheers,
- The academic arc sounds promising given DU and LSE pedigree. How have your GPAs been and is your DU college a feeder one? The GRE score will be a definite handicap - something that is a bigger battle for Indian candidates. You can consider the EA which many candidates find to be easier.
- Tough to say much on the professional profile apart from the fact that risk as a function tends to be underrepresented at top schools. Make sure to bring out the right perspective, need for MBA and career goals clarity in your applications.
- Top schools value extracurriculars. Anything here?
- Apart from the first two, be cautious on your target list - the brand/employment opportunities may not be at par.
Hope this helps some.
Cheers,
