Hello,
I am 34 years old with 10 years of experience in Banking (Trading). I already have an MBA from IIM Calcutta and now wish to give a global boost to my career. I am considering IMD, Cornell (1yr MBA), MSx at Stanford, MIT Sloan’s Fellows Program and Kellogg (1yr MBA). My GMAT score is 670 (Q51, V29, IR 7 on 8) and 680 (Q50, V29 IR 4 on 8), which GMAT score I should apply with? Do you think its worth applying to these colleges given my profile and GMAT score?
Also I have some concerns about studying anywhere in the EU, since the work permit etc have become very tricky I heard. I surely do not wish to come back to India and work after making this investment.
Thanks and regards
SM

Hi there! You should apply with the 680, higher overall is more important. And then if you like, you can use the optional essay to point out your slightly higher quant score on the other attempt. Did you take the TOEFL or similar test too? I believe some of the programs you list require that, as strong English communication skills are important for the intense, participatory programs like the ones you list. The Stanford and MIT programs are both very competitive -- worth a shot depending on the strength of your leadership skills -- but just want you to be aware how competitive they are. You could also consider adding Emory, USC, or Notre Dame for a slightly safer option in the US. I've heard that too about programs in Europe, but I'm not an expert in their career placements or immigration issues, so do check that with the schools, and perhaps with recent alums. You could also look at programs in Canada where that might be less of an issue - I believe HEC Montreal has a one-year program.
Good luck, and keep us posted if we can help with anything else!
