Hi everyone
I just took gmat and I got 680 V31 Q50.
My profile:
32 Years old, Iranian (might be an advantage since we don't have that many applicants to US schools here)
bachelor's degree computer engineering GPA 2.6 , MBA from Iran, with GPA 3.4
8 years relevant working experience in tech and manufacturing as CEO
1 international patent holder (don't know if this has any impact on my resume)
I do not have the smallest idea about which school in US or Canada to apply to. I just did the exam and have not looked into any programs yet.
Which ones do you guys think fit the best to my profile? I think somewhere around Mendoza ? Ranks 20 30 ish?
Do I have a chance for UCLA or USC? Or should I go down to UC Irvine and UC Davis??
Ofcourse getting a scholarship of at least 60% is a must because I do not have any other means of getting a loan or financing my education.
Or maybe I do??

Hi,
I think your age is near to higher limit for American schools. You need to research about the schools which allow for Second MBA and you need to find concrete reasons for why 2nd MBA? In the meantime, I suggest you to hit GMAT 700 mark as well to at least get some scholarships.
You need to introspect a lot. Make stories and what you are going to do with this MBA and in which field. International patent has definitely an impact on resume.
If you want 60% and fixed on it then it will be quite hard to get success. You need to be flexible with goals and desires.
For loans, you can check 'Prodigy Finance' whether they give for Iranians or not.

Yes, you can try for UCLA or USC with a probability of good chance with your current profile. Better if you take a test again so that you can add at least 20 points in your GMAT score. I just took gmat and I got 680 V31 Q50.

For scholarship, you should knock "prodigy firm". They can help you so far I know.
All the best for your application package.
