alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1577 Are you looking for a full time MBA, or an executive MBA, or similar? A program that targets more senior executives might be worth exploring. Are you considering an online MBA (Wharton just launched an online exec MBA, for example) or an in-person experience? (0)

khanaizaz Likes Earned: 1 I'm primarily looking for a Full Time MBA which would one give me the insightful and updated knowledge bank from the top faculties and second the networking that would prove vital in exploring the US market for Post MBA placement. In my opinion, in-person experience is always better and pays off more than an online By looking at the comments and scrolling down, it seems that my experience would be an hinderance in scaling the question, "why MBA now?" and also when I already have an MBA (but from a local University). I would like if you can guide me on where should I focus more? (1)

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1577 Yes, both these questions will need to be addressed. The second one might be worth tackling in the optional essay, contrasting the experience of a local MBA much earlier in your career, to what you are seeking now. The “why now” issue, you’ll need to show that you will fully engage, inside and outside the classroom, and that you show “fit” for each program you target. (0)
