Hi Sada,

I think with your background, even with a lower than average GMAT score for the schools you mention, you can definitely make it into one of them. You can eliminate Durham and Henley. Now you will just need to concentrate on your essays to impress them. You can probably add Oxford, Cambridge and Warwick as your stretch goals.

Manchester and Cranfield are good for you but, personally, I think you will find a beautiful city like Cambridge, Durham or Edinburgh to be a unique opportunity.

Dear yipkc and Duncan,

Thank you for your advice and positive feedback. Currently I am preparing essays for Manchester. I would be so happy if I get an offer from any of these three schools. Cranfield's calm and beautiful environment seems excellent. Anyway, I will do my best!!

All the best! Manchester and Cranfield are the optimal options for you. I am very sure you will be able to make it into either, if not both schools. Don't worry about your GMAT as these schools emphasise on background and gender diversity and you are one of a kind in the UK.

Finally, I got conditional offers from Imperial and Manchester, and an unconditional offer from Cranfield! Thank you all for your kind advice. I learned that I should not give up before submitting application even if my scores are disappointing.

These are wonderful choices. Having done my undergrad at Manchester, I think it's a great university, a more flexible MBA length and traditionally it is a business school which has been more open for women. However, I really think it's a difficult choice between it and Cranfield: I think I would pick Cranfield because of the four-term structure and the calmer setting. Imperial's cohort will be too junior for you, I think.

For information, at Henley my cohort fellows with GMAT score (not compulsory) were around 640 - lower score was 620. So it is great you got an offer and I guess you have many other talents ! :)

Good luck with your choice; all your options are very good choices.

Thank you everyone. I accepted an offer from Cranfield, considering its environment, students' experiences, and expertise of energy business. I look forward to attending the course! :)

Great news. Congratulations. It is the best for you of the schools you applied to. I agree with yipkc that Cambridge might also be at least worth an email.....

Those schools' FT rankings are a good indication of their comparative quality: Warwick is ranked a bit higher than Cranfield; Durham and Strathclyde are ranked below.
