Kiran

Thanks for the note below ..a slight difference between my profile and profile of senior resources is that I already have an MBA so admissions team at IIMA and other places will like to know a solid reason for doing an MBA again ..also in the list mentioned by you , I would stay away from IIM Lucknow , Great Lakes / XLRI as they are not yet proven in their executive courses like IIMA PGPX and IIM Kolkatta

You are right also abt ISB and INSEAD as I will be competing with junior candidates for entry level roles as associate in banks and consulting firms maybe at times ..This stems from me speaking with lots of current alumni at these places

The more analysis I do , the more the sloan masters appeals along with IIMA PGPX ..Maybe I will take a serious shot at both these ..LBS already has asked me to send my profile as they have a few slots available for class starting sept 2008 but I just cannot give up everything and join as I am married with 2 kids and also just tuition fees cost 40000 Pounds ...so have to try for chevening scholarships and other resources

You shd surely apply for your dream courses and am sure all the rest will also get into their choice of schools and wishing all the very best to this group

Shiva,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Even I am trying for the program indicated by you. But IBS & Insead
may not be right choice for me as they cater to people with lower
experience ( typically 2-8 years). For people with 10 + years of
experience good programs will be IIMA-PGPX, IIMC-PGPEX, IIML - IMPX,
XLRI -GMP, LBS, Sloan masters, IMD.

Can you think of any other schools, I am not sure of HBS, Kellog etc.
Need to do some research on these school
The top notch overseas schools definitly have an edge. I read in some
blog that after graduating from LBS, you will only look at replacing
the chairman of company you have worked.
The fees at these overseas school is exorbitant and funding need to be
looked at.
I will provide FT ranking fo top global Business schools.

Shiva : Why dont you give GMAT again in July- Aug and still try for
IIMA- PGPX

Cheers

Kiran

profile. However IMO, the GMAT score is on lower side. Remember the
last year GMAT average is 728. Even for a non-it guy, 700+ may be
required for interview call. But if you can make it up with other
attributes, then one may still have a chance. There is nothing wrong
in applying.
