Hello team,
Just took my GMAT and got a 630, way below my expectations. Although, at times I think that I should take GMAT again, yes I am not sure if it will be fruitful as this attempt was 2nd one and it came after a dedicated 3 months effort. Also I do not have time (or energy) to retake the GMAT.
My profile is as below:
1. 8 years work-ex in Telecommunication field
2. Electrical Engg Graduate from a reputed university of Pakistan. GPA is 3.5 on a scale of 4.
3. have worked as team lead and regional manager in reputed companies.
I am planning to do MBA as i m highly interested in Managment/Entrepreneurship. Currenly I am doing a technial job and earning a good money. But I want to do MBA so that one day I can reach the level of CEO in a reputed compnay or I can start my own business.
Please help me for some of my queries
1. I know its not a good idea to apply in TOP schools with this GMAT score. Please recommend me any 2nd RANK good B Schools. I am open to studying in USA,UK , Australia and Singapore.
2. What are the best schools for Managment/Entrepreneurship.
3. As my experience is already 08 years , do I need to think on some different lines. Like should I try online MBA ? Or should I try Part Time MBA. Does these MBAs have same level as Full Time MBA.
4. Is there any relation between GMAT score and success during/afer MBA studies.
I am really confused and demotivated by GMAT result. I would be really thankful for any help.
Regards;
Please Evaluate my Profile and Help find the Right MBA

Look at the Tier 4 schools listed at http://www.find-mba.com/board/27082 Stick to a full-time MBA degree if you want to make the sort of substantial progress you describe.
Yes, GMAT score is strongly correlated with success in, and after, the MBA.

Do yourself a favor and narrow down where you'd like to study to one or two countries. With four countries, there are such a vast range of schools that you could apply for that you're likely to go crazy figuring it out. Where do you want to end up after you graduate?
2. What are the best schools for Managment/Entrepreneurship.
If you're interested in starting your own business, I'd recommend a school that has the infrastructure for it. For example, USC Marshall has both an entrepreneurship concentration and a dedicated center. Henley's got a center as well. These centers act as hubs for entrepreneurial activity, and are great for networking and finding venture capital.
3. As my experience is already 08 years , do I need to think on some different lines. Like should I try online MBA ? Or should I try Part Time MBA. Does these MBAs have same level as Full Time MBA.
A full-time MBA will generally provide you with more networking and career services resources than the other two options. Online programs are getting better - although if you go that route I'd only recommend something that offers on-campus residencies (IE's got a good program, as do Durham and UNC.)
I am really confused and demotivated by GMAT result. I would be really thankful for any help.
If you think you can do better, then retake it. It would be worth the effort in the long run.
