Hi,
i am very keen to to take up Business Administration studies’ ideally an MBA from a good business school’ starting 2020.
I am open to the format and location but have following profile weaknesses:
1. Low undergraduate scores - 2nd division. While the course i undertook is the most reputed one in the country, i couldnt score as much as my school and PG due to diversions caused due to my fathers death impacting my attendance in the first teo years; no regrets though, those experiences made me who I am today.
2. I have not taken GMAT yet
Stregths:
1. Have overall 10 years of experience into strategy, research and consulting across sectors. Specialist of mobile payments:
2. Worked with top firms in their respective feild - mckinsey, kpmg, gsma, Amex
3. Now leading a mid size oil and gas conglomerate trying to prepare digitalization strategy and lead the disruptive initiatives globally
Age: 30
Current Sal: 81k US$
Reasons for full time: While I want to continue working into Strategy (digital), i am not sure about Oil and Gas sector per se. especially, given how rapidly the energy space is evolving. So maybe want to look into management consulting/ strategy roles.
Reasons for EMBA: super happy with the challenges of current role and theopportunity to apply what i learn is immense here.
Facts:
Dont have much savings so i am going to rely heavily on loans in both cases EMBA and MBA
I am taking EA in early June 2020 and so far the practice tests are giving me confidence that I should be able to score 150_160
I have following offers:
1) bath : full time unconditional
2) durham full time unconditional
3) St. Gallen full time unconditional
4) LBS EMBA conditional on EA
5) Cass EMBA unconditional
6) Insead GEMBA conditional EA
Thoughts from the wises..

I also have similar confusion in mind. Looking forward to an expert's view on this .
However , are you planning to take a GMAT and then apply ?

Welcome to GMAT Club and congrats on your Admits! You have some awesome experience!!!
There are quite a few differences in EMBA and FT MBA. For one, EMBA is a lot easier to get into but it is also more expensive. The reason is that EMBA is a money-maker for schools and tends to be more geared to seasoned executives looking to stay within an industry/company and oftentimes sponsored by their employer (at least that is how it started and how it began. Today I feel sponsored folks are only a fraction fo the class). EMBA does not involve a recruiting component usually and does not focus as much (though not always) on changing industries and career services, though many programs have evolved and making those resources available.
EMBA allows you to work while you are studying so you continue generating $$; the trade off is that you are distracted and managing multiple priorities cannot focus on work, school, and recruiting, and usually recruiting suffers as the result. FT program is the most transformative experience. it is harder to get in. It is also harder to survive it (though everyone does) but it offers the best chance at changing your career or test out waters with an internship. At the same time, someone like you probably does not want to be an intern at Amazon and work 14 hour days on white papers or documents. (tell me if I am wrong) and I feel the EMBA experience may be more fitting for someone like you. Is there a chance you can sell this idea to your employer to cover at least part of the cost of an EMBA?
The main source of networking and recruiting in an EMBA ends up being your cohort and your classmates who either hire you or refer you to their network. The on-campus recruiting is usually targetted towards the younger group and often is at a time when EMBA is not in session thus most of those events are not even known to the Executive students. Even if you did attend it, the positions employers will recruit will be mid-junior level.
I would go for INSEAD or LBS and likely just take INSEAD as that's a bigger name, esp in Asia. Which track is the INSEAD GEMBA? Europe, Middle East, or Asia?
P.S. I have moved your topic to the more appropriate forum.
