Hi,
I'm preparing for MBA application now and still not sure what school is right for me.
I'm 32/female/Chinese.
B.Comm from UBC/Sauder(Canada) - major in logistics and supply chain management and minor in economics.
GPA: 71/100
GMAT: 700(going to retake the test this month)
Background:
After I graduated from high school, my mother and I decided to open a school offering ballet and piano classes in Nanjing(one of China's major cities). We have no employee at the beginning. Starting from distributing flier on the street and giving free class in public school, we managed to build the foundation of our business and make profit in two years. Then I went to Canada in 2003 for university education. After that I had two jobs in Vancouver Canada(one job as purchasing assistant and one job as full cycle accountant for a small company). I was part time teaching piano at the same time. Then I went back to China and work as a sales and marketing specialist in an MNC in 2011. At the same time I started to do the management work for the school again. I quit job in 2012 and devoted all my energy to the school. Now our school has very good reputation in Nanjing and has over 1000 students. We are offering courses for nationally and internationally recognized certificate now. Currently I invited a partner to join our team and she will take over the daily operation in the school when I pursue MBA degree.
ST/LT goal:
My plan is to enhance my soft and hard skills as an entrepreneur, to professionalize my school and to grown my business through MBA program. My short term goal upon graduation is to expand my school. My long term goal is to build a international school brand in China and provide education from kindergarten to high school(International Baccalaureate(IB) programmes).
Please kindly give me some advice on which schools I should apply and where I stand with my profile. Thanks in advance!

Hi there,
Thanks for posting! I enjoyed reading your story, and business school admissions committees likely would too
.... it's the real-deal entrepreneurial story working from the ground up, and it would be great to illustrate through your applications all that you've learned through your work at the dance school, the challenges you've faced, what you've learned about establishing and growing a business, and show the perspective you'll bring to the class based upon your experiences.
As far as what schools, there are a number of factors to consider, including geographical region of the world, class size, length of program, campus setting, curriculum, class profiles, hiring stats, etc. For more on choosing schools, check out our free download at: https://info.mbamission.com/Selecting-Yo ... ram-E-Book.
Are there certain criteria you are looking for in a school? What part of the world are you interested in studying in? Good luck on your GMAT re-take!

There are larger and smaller schools; some in urban cities (NY, Boston, Chicago, etc), others in smaller towns or college towns (Yale, Tuck, Duke)... the location can affect not only the experience but also where you make local company connections or where you'd like to work afterwards if staying in the US etc. We have some great in-depth guides at
