Thanks for your response.
I am not as familiar with European b-schools, but pretty much any US school in the T15 will give you a shot at MBB
What I like about European B-schools is that some of them put a value on languages that you know (INSEAD/HEC) and this is one area I find myself strong in. Nonetheless, I've following schools in my mind. Which schools would you say would be reach for me vs. safer options?
| B-schools |
|---|
| INSEAD |
| London Business School |
| Columbia |
| UC Berkeley: Haas |
| Cambridge Judge |
| Yale SOM |
| HEC Paris |
| Chicago Booth OR Kellogg |
| NYU Stern |
| Oxford Said |
In terms of what you should focus on, I’d say your GMAT
I do have enough time to retake GMAT and possibly shoot the score up by +10-20 points to a 750 I think, although I am unsure about effort-to-result ratio here and wonder if I should rather utilize that time prepping essays and other application areas better.
Adcoms may also wonder why someone who works in tech would need an MBA to return to a job in tech
Although the type of industry remains the same, I have been into managerial roles for a while now at startups (small/mid/large) primarily . An MBA will help me give a better shot at giant tech firms, think FAANG etc. One role, for instance, that befits and interests me is Samsung GSG.
